  • Weight & Witness

    Alex Lewis & Jack Koppert
    Fisher Gallery
    April 5 – September 26, 2026
    Weight & Witness pairs the accumulated gravity of Alex Lewis’ ceramic and assemblage sculptures with the unflinching portraiture of Jack Koppert’s oil paintings. Together, their work engenders a domestic solemnity, punctuated by moments of surprise and humor.
