Glitch in the System at D'art Gallery

Glitch in the System Featuring: Robin Gates, Amanda Stavast, and Dmitri Valone Opening Reception: Friday, Aug 27, 2026, 5-9 PM On view: from Aug 26 – Sept 20, 2026 D’art Gallery is proud to present “Glitch in the System” an exhibition of three gallery members whose art provides departures from the expected. Through reclaimed objects, layered materials, shapes, and colors they each create a distinctive visual language to explore when familiar patterns are interrupted. Robin Gates Robin paints whimsy – often edgy, characters, lines, and texture on wood panels, canvas, furniture, instruments, and other 3D objects. Her extraordinary layering is created with paper, paint, pencil, and charcoal. For this show, she is embracing the beauty found in disruption and her delightfully odd “heads” are much in evidence—existing in the space between order and chaos. An embrace of disruptions, indeed. @robinfayegatesarts Amanda Stavast Amanda’s journey spans graphic design and mural work but her deepest passion lies in painting. Her abstract, experimental style is characterized by vibrant colors, captivating textures and found objects. She consistently transforms ordinary items into extraordinary expressions of interest and beauty. A show that embraces “glitches” reflects her refusal to be confined to a single artistic style. @amandastavast Dimitri Valore Dimitri comes from an artistic family. At Metropolitan State University he abandoned his cosmology major to earn a BFA in painting and spent two decades creating in Boston. A return to Colorado sparked a move from oil painting to discovering the mysteries of mixing ink and water. Dimitri’s early interest in cosmology finds an outlet in this new body of work --abstract interpretations of the unseen quantum fields that constitute the fabric of space. @dmitrivaloreart Glitch show dates: August 27 – September 30 Opening Reception: Friday, Aug 28, 6-9PM First Friday Art Walk: Friday, Sept 4, 5-9PM *Speakeasy: Sat, Sept 19, 6-9pm: Speakeasy is an evening of art, music and great company to celebrate Glitch in the System.
