ANTHONY RICE

public opening reception
JANUARY 3rd, 5PM - 8PM
The 502 Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Sarasota-based artist Anthony Rice, on view from January 3 through January 24, 2024. Rice is known for a multidisciplinary practice that examines identity, culture, and material through a richly layered visual language. His work draws on personal experience, historical reference, and material experimentation, resulting in compositions that invite close looking and sustained reflection.
Featuring new and recent works, the exhibition underscores Rice’s ongoing investigation into form, surface, and meaning. Bold color, tactile construction, and a strong sense of rhythm anchor the work, while subtle conceptual shifts reveal an artist continually refining and expanding his practice. Presented within the intimate setting of the 502 Gallery, this exhibition offers audiences an opportunity to engage deeply with Rice’s thoughtful, evolving body of work and his distinct contribution to Sarasota’s contemporary art landscape.
