A revelation of the Havu show is Vernon Gross, a modernist sculptor from St. Louis who is new to the gallery.  Gross is seen both in the gallery and al fresco.  Outside, along the garage wall of the Grand Cherokee Lofts building--and greatly relieving its monolithic quality--are two Gross sculptures made of a composite called silicon bronze, both finished in a delicious icy-green patina. These abstract spikes from the "FASCES" series are vaguely figural in character--or at least totemic.
