David Campbell’s large, realistic sculptures overwhelm a space and demand the viewer’s attention, while Marguerite Perret’s prints delicately await the audience’s close inspection. This contrast makes for an excellent show at MidCoast Gallery West on the corner of Second Avenue and 17th Street, just west of the plaza in downtown Rock Island. |
