🖼️ UP NEXT AT HONFLEUR GALLERY! �

"Life in DC," A Solo Exhibition by Roderick Turner, Opening Reception May 24, 2025, 6-8pm, at Honfleur Gallery in Historic Anacostia, Musical performances by The Piano Man, Carlton Moxley

Free Water Color Workshop, May 17, 2-4pm at Honfleur Gallery as part of the SpringTime Festival presented by the Anacostia BID and Art to Go-Go

The solo exhibition is presented in collaboration with Honfleur Gallery and Valley Place Arts Collaborative. Through oil paintings, Turner captures decades of transformation in Washington, DC, focusing on the Southeast neighborhoods that have shaped his life and artistic vision.

A longtime resident of DC since the 1980s, Turner is known for his immersive, evolving documentation of DC's landscapes and culture. His new body of work chronicles the subtle yet profound changes across city streets, buildings, and everyday spaces, challenging viewers to reflect on the consequences of gentrification and urban redevelopment.

At the heart of Life in DC is a powerful visual narrative: cityscapes portrayed from the same vantage points over time reveal how neighborhoods like 9th Street SE and the Wharf have morphed from tree-lined calm to modern density. Anchored by a singular portrait of an “unknown pianist,” the exhibition honors the layered history and humanity of the District beyond monuments and politics.

“These paintings are my story—my visual journal,” Turner says. “They might seem like simple urban scenes, but they carry the soul of a city in flux. One day, future generations will look at these and understand where they come from.”

Inspired by Claude Monet's work, Turner, artist-in-residence in Giverny, France, brings that same spirit of place-making to his adopted home in DC. Despite increasing challenges as a working artist in the city, he remains deeply committed to preserving its memory through paint.

Adele Robey, Co-Producer
A former resident of Historic Anacostia, Adele is a founder of the Theater Alliance, which was formed when she was on the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop board. In 2001, she and her late husband bought a property at 1365 H Street NE, Washington, DC, turning it into a small independent black box theater. This theater, The H Street Playhouse, proved to be one of the catalysts for the explosive growth that continues to happen on this corridor. She has always been intimately involved in local economic development, first as a member of the H Street Merchants Association and then as a board member of the H Street Main Street organization. She has also been a CHAMPS, Capitol Hill Chamber of Commerce member and the Capitol Hill Community Achievement Award recipient. She has served on the Anacostia Business Improvement District and St. Coletta School boards.

In 2012, she founded a non-profit, The DC Theater Arts Collaborative, whose major project was the Anacostia Playhouse, which opened its doors in August 2013. The Playhouse served as a neighborhood hub for the performing arts, drawing participants and audiences from both sides of the Anacostia River and playing an integral role in the economic revitalization of Historic Anacostia and Ward 8. Her role at the Playhouse ended in January 2022. She now concentrates on Valley Place Arts Collaborative, Inc., as a founding artist and board member, helping create art programs and opportunities for East of the River artists and the community at large.

As a freelance graphic artist (and part-time actor), she co-founded the successful Voice of the Hill newspaper and served in Capitol Hill public schools, fashioning after-school programs. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, she is the recipient of that school's Alumni Award of Merit.
