James DuSel photographs buildings and prints them by a palladium process that achieves tonal nuances and a historical look. Ruth Pettus' paintings of men have become well-known in the Baltimore area, but she keeps them fresh through shifts in emphasis.

Both artists are represented individually in the show that opens today at Resurgam Gallery, and in addition they have collaborated on works in the cliche verre process, which dates from the 19th century. In this process, an image is drawn on a surface (traditionally a piece of glass, but in this case a sheet of film) and printed photographically.

The show is at Resurgam Gallery, 910 S. Charles St., today through Nov. 29; noon to 6 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sundays. Call 410-962-0513.
