The Gallery at Indiana Design Center is a space on the second floor dedicated to displaying work from artists and galleries. The current collection includes work from Magdalena Gallery of Art, Slawek and Constance Edwards Scopelitis.
The Gallery is a means for designers and consumers to view a collection of artists’ work while at the Indiana Design Center. The relationship between art and design is very strong and the IDC aims to bring the two together through The Gallery and artist studios.
Below is information about the featured artists and examples of their work. Visit The Gallery today to see what is featured and currently available (work changes regularly).

Artist’s Statement
For me, gestures and feelings are the two things I have worked with in the past five years of my career. To transmit these sensations, I have chosen the human figure. I find that by presenting the viewer with something as familiar as the human form, the spectator opens easily to those feelings that have the power to evolve and elevate us on our every day life, as I try to convey on my paintings. I have always admired the simplicity and power of the iconic figure as well as the ‘Madonna’s’ from the great masters. I have taken some of the elements and tried to transport them to a more modern type of representation by using simple blocks of colors, but leaving the faces timeless and ageless like those on the Icons and Madonna’s. In addition, I have preferred to make the identities of the people represented in my paintings to be irrelevant and keep the color palette simple in order to enhance the beauty and energy of the message. I carefully make all my boards out of wood and linen. I reach the high intensity on my colors by building from egg tempera to oil and pigments.

About the Artist
Lidia was born in Santiago, Cuba, where she lived until the age of eight. Her family moved to Panama and later to San Juan, Puerto Rico. She moved to New York to attend college. She obtained a BA from Marymount College and an MA in Psychology from New York University.
Lidia is a self-taught artist. Her abstract paintings place emphasis on the expression of inner thoughts, ideas and emotions. “I use color, forms, shapes, and composition to give life to abstract concepts and feelings. My paintings are intended to represent the movement of my unconscious on canvas. Through my art work, I express a view of the world which is not bound by material reality but rather, by the continuous evolution of everyday human emotions.

About Slawek
Motto for Slawek’s Work: “Although I have never learned how to read and write. I paint a picture residing in my mind”
- by Dr. Sota Kurylo
The artist, Slawek (SU-AH – veck), “the European artist from Indianapolis”, born in communist Poland, moved to the United States in the 1980s and his path has taken him from East Coast to the Midwest where he currently resides in Indianapolis. He has traveled around the world and in his artistic endeavors he especially enjoys capturing reflected images. As artist said: “Remember, it’s exciting when the image is confusing at first, and the eye is able to gradually make sense of what it’s seeing. This is what REFLECTIONS are about”.
Slawek does “draft notes with a camera.” In photographing these reflected images, Slawek’s camera interprets Pop-Art (advertisement) which originated in America many years ago and is dominant today in streets, stores, and even our homes.
