Louisville based artist and gallerist Billy Hertz & gallerist Susan Moremen discuss his upcoming exhibit at Moremen Gallery. Tune in to WXOX 97.1 FM / Artxfm.com each Thursday at 10 am to hear Artists Talk with LVA.

Words like “legend”, and “pioneer” have been easily attached to artist and gallerist Billy Hertz. A gallery operator for more than 30 years, Billy Hertz has evolved his semi-abstract landscapes to a pared down form and composition, allowing the balance of abstract and representational to exist with tension.

On November 1, he will open his latest solo exhibition at Moremen Gallery. Susan Moremen opened her gallery in 2017.
