The Shenandoah Valley Art Center’s featured exhibit at the 416 Gallery is “Vivid Reflections” by Joey Truxell. Viewers are invited into a world where bold color, surreal imagery, and storytelling collide. His vividly rendered characters inhabit symbolic spaces that explore the tension between innocence and awareness. As the artist states, “This isn’t just art you look at – it’s art that looks back.” Based in Waynesboro, Virginia, Truxell draws on over five decades of experience across illustration, design, and muralism. His use of light and color reveals what he calls “the light within,” creating work that is both playful and thought-provoking - inviting viewers to engage and see differently. An Opening Reception will be held May 2, 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. where you are invited to meet and talk to the artist. The exhibition will be open to the public May 2 – June 27, Tuesday – Thursday, 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Friday, 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., Saturday 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m., 416 W. Main St. Waynesboro, VA 22980.
