curator's essay

Personal Geometry

Emerson Gallery:
Artists have always drawn inspiration, format and subject from the world of geometry. Throughout history many art movements have geometric concepts or structures at their root or as a major component. As a general rule, geometrically related work is often pristine, hard-edged and detached. This exhibit brings together the work of six artists who incorporate geometry, either conceptually or as a central compositional component, while also including elements or techniques that allow for personal expression. In so doing, the duality between structure and order and expressive spontaneity is highlighted. Featured artists include David Carlson, Betsy Damos, Carol Brown Goldberg, Francie Herster, Kathy Snow Stratton and Lynda Ray.

all nearness pauses
new work by Karey Kessler
(inspired by the poetry of e.e. cummings)

Atrium Gallery:
Using pieces of the already fragmented poems of e.e. cummings as a starting point, this series of atmospheric maps represents Kessler’s attempt at depicting space, time and the experience of place. The elusiveness of memory and the internal landscape of emotion are explored through a combination of color, line, image and words.

Fields and Flora: New Work by Naomi Chung

Ramp Gallery:
In an attempt to involve all the senses, Naomi Chung creates paintings that fuse landscape and abstraction. Relying heavily on the process of painting, which for Chung involves equal parts building up and scraping back the image, she attempts to depict an event as it unfolds rather than a specific place or moment in time. Also included are etchings that evolve in a similar manner while exploring the essentially expressive possibilities of line work.

Transform, Transport, Transpose:
Works by Leigh Taylor Mickelson,
Judit Varga, and Lars Westby

curator's essay

Emerson Gallery:
Each of these artists begins with ordinary objects or shapes and transforms them into lively, animated sculpture full of humor and poetry. Using clay as a primary material, these three artists are able to bring an instinctive spontaneity to the highly individualized process of transporting the mundane and pedestrian into a realm electrified through imagination.

Passing Fancies (Everyone's
a Stranger Here): Paintings
by Lynn Putney

Atrium Gallery:
Using an abstract vocabulary, Lynn Putney creates small, subtle paintings that glow with a quiet, magical intensity. Arranged in constellation-like formation, the works evolve through a process of sifting and distilling, as Putney layers the thoughts, feelings and visual stimuli accumulated through daily living into compositions that spark universal recognition.

Postcards from the Real: Works by Josephine Haden

Curator's Essay

Emerson Gallery:
Using subtle but efficient compositional devices, Arlington artist Josephine Haden toys with perceptual expectations in these large-scale landscape based paintings of open-ended allegorical vignettes. Blending open sky, vast bodies of water and soaring vistas with magazine, vacation and animal imagery, Haden creates visual stories that ask as many questions as they answer. Like postcards from another time and place, these paintings offer viewers a glimpse into a world where imagination transforms the mundane and banal into the extraordinary and unexpected.

Genomes and Daily Observations : An Installation by Suzanne Stryk

Atrium Gallery:
In this installation, Virginia artist Suzanne Stryk brings together a grid of exquisitely poetic drawings of natural objects and modern genetic symbols, an antique desk depicting the workspace of a nineteenth century natural historian, and a mirror reflecting both the images on the walls and the image of the current viewer. Using these basic elements, Stryk contrasts and blends today's world of high tech science with the more intimate knowledge of nature gained through the careful and close observational scientific techniques of the past. At the heart of this work are questions regarding the reconciliation and coexistence of scientific knowledge with a personal reverence for the mysteries of nature.

 

Fairy Tales : Paintings by Joy Every

Curator's Essay

Ramp Gallery:
Landscape, fantasy and fairy tale co-exist in these expressive paintings which draw heavily on images from the subconscious and both dark and lightuniversal symbolic content. Color, pattern, texture and other formal compositional elements are explored within the context of the landscape, while mysterious imaginary worlds are seamlessly blended with the familiar.

Walter Kravitz: New Work

Emerson and Atrium Galleries:
Drawing from a broad array of influences spanning from Hieronymus Bosch to Arshile Gorky, Walter Kravitz creates large-scale drawings and paintings of landscape and figurative motifs in various states of both abundance and decay. With a surrealist’s openness to spontaneity and intuitive understanding of the subconscious, Kravitz builds these works using exquisitely expressive line work and a restrained and judicious use of color. The viewer is drawn into a world fascinating and compelling yet strange and disorienting as well.

Solomon Wondimu: Skin Color Project

Ramp Gallery:
Working with a palette of over 1,000 tone originating from close-up photographs of skin, Solomon Wondimu creates mural-sized digital images and paintings that explore the conflicts and assumptions that exist between the eye and the mind around the concept of skin color.

Natural Inclinations: Works by Margaret Boozer, Elizabeth Burger, Marc Robarge and Laura Thorne

Curator's Essay

This exhibit features four artists who create work derived from the natural world.
Fantastical imagination is combined with the most familiar of natural forms and the most basic materials and surfaces to create sculptures that grow up, around or out of nature. Both the grand vastness of the world and the fascinating, magnified minutia are represented in these works, many of which seem to have sprung up or eased into being on their own. Natural materials are deftly exploited and sometimes placed in contrast with the industrial to create a sharp and potent visual and conceptual dialogue..

 

Atrium Gallery:

Veer: Paintings by Janet DeCover

Richmond artist Janet DeCover exhibits new abstract paintings in oil on wood panel. Both lively and poetic, these works transport the viewer into an evocative, dreamlike atmosphere where colors and shapes softly shift in concert with each other. These works offer a playful glimpse into a spontaneous world where the mystical, mysterious subconscious blends seamlessly with temporal reality.

 

Ramp Gallery:

Multitudes: A Catolog of Identity Paintings
by Maroe Susti

These paintings by McLean-based artist Maroe Susti depict figures, often in groups, assembling, relating, and coming together in unity. Often the figures merge together, so that while they do retain their individuality, they also become part of a larger whole. Relationships, both with the self and with others, are a primary concern, as is the vast continuum and never-ending wheel of time.

Beyond the Box: Drawings by Hsin-Hsi Chen

Maryland artist Hsin-Hsi Chen creates three- dimensional drawings with the most elementary of materials, paper and pencil. Expanding on the limitless possibilities of this medium, Chen constructs black and white drawings/objects that simultaneously depict and encompass space. In so doing, these works calmly occupy a realm that rests at the intersection between reality and imagination.

 

Ramp Gallery:

Perceptions of Nature: Paintings by Lucy and Dirk Herrman

McLean artists Lucy and Dirk Herrman share a love of nature and an interest in interpreting what they see and experience in the natural world. Painting on canvas in both acrylic and oil, both these artists begin with direct observation of the landscape, which is then filtered through imagination, memory and the physical act of painting to create works which are indicative of each artist’s individual style and sensibility. While Dirk combines areas of flat, intense color with a concern for the underlying structure of the landscape, Lucy mixes and moves color to create blended scenes that emphasize subtle nuances of shadow and light.

Illusion: Now, Mind and World
New Work by Inga McCaslin Frick

Curator's Statement

Inga McCaslin Frick creates large and complex works that deftly combine painting, assemblage and digital images. Exploring far reaching ideas that include the nature of spatial perception and how subjective and objective reality combine to create experience, these pieces speak clearly to both intellect and imagination. In addition, they also draw the viewer into an engaging and often arresting dynamic based on a visceral reaction to the interaction between materials and technique.

ColorScapes: Recent Works on Paper
by Howard Dean Spector

Inhabiting the territory between landscape and abstraction, these paintings by Maryland artist Howard Dean Spector highlight the formal elements of color interaction, boundary definition, conversations between positive and negative space, and flat vs the illusion of depth. These tightly composed works radiate a sense of completeness, each painting a small world sufficient unto itself, an inviting destination for the searching imagination..

Curator's Essay

Including works by Amze Emmons, Andy Moon Wilson, Gianna Commito, Hildegard Skowasch, Isabel Maria Manalo, Lily Cox-Richard, Thomas Henriksson and Warren Craghead.
This exhibit, guest-curated by artist Jiha Moon, explores the idea of space as subject matter. It includes investigations into personal and public zones, the line between fantasy and reality, and the juxtapositions and dislocations that can exist between interior and exterior space. Boundaries, both real and metaphorical are also considered. All of these artists use their physicality, through the act of painting and drawing, to pursue their ideas.

Personal Mythology:  Works by Percy Martin

Curator's Essay

Washington artist Percy Martin exhibits the latest in a series of prints he has been working on for the past twenty-five years.  These complex, fluid and playful works detail the daily lives and rituals of the Bushmen, a mythological cultural that springs directly from Martin's imagination.  Full of complex imagery and many -layered symbols, these lush pictures take us on an enchanting journey even as they teach us the harsh lessons of a distant time and place.

Casting a New Light

Curated by Jerry Spagnoli, co-curated by Alyssa Salomon

Casting a New Light highlights significant national artists making current work that revitalizes antique photographic technologies and practices. The ten artists included in this exhibit often struggle with difficult and archaic processes such as daguerreotypes, calotype negatives, salt prints, tintypes and photograms to make work that, while paying homage to the past, is thoroughly informed by contemporary culture and concerns.  This exhibit is co-originated by Second Street Gallery, Charlottesville, VA and 1708 Gallery, Richmond, VA. 

Atrium Gallery

Alyssa Salomon
All Before My Eyes: Modern Views from 19th Century Photographic Formulations

Richmond based artist Alyssa Salomon also utilizes historic photographic processes to create personally expressive works based on light and shadow.  These paired images do not necessarily read as photographic in origin, but rather highlight what the artist describes as  "luminous experience".  Bases formally on the layouts of 18th Century encyclopedias and 20th Century instructional manuals, these works explore the connections between reality, photography and memory. 

Ramp Gallery

Pieced Together: Melissa Laitsch

Photographer Melissa Laitsch uses a high -resolution digital camera to capture transient moments within a particular landscape.  Building each image from a series of nine to twelve different photographs, she reconstructs the landscape, paying careful attention to the progression of the viewer's eye across the image and highlighting the differences between what we think we see and what we actually do see.

Seeds: Gail Gorlitzz and Karin Birch

curator's essay

The common ground between Gail Gorlitzz's sculptures and Karin Birch's two dimensional works lies in a shared organic and additive approach to fashioning artwork. Both artists build from small components, be they beads, stitches or brushstrokes, compiling hundreds of small parts, pieces or gestures into works both complex and harmonious. Gorlitzz' strange and fantastic three-dimensional beaded creations hang from the walls and ceilings, comfortable in all their intensely colored and sinewy glory. Birch's small abstract works made from paint, stitches and beads on canvas have a more subtle energy. Their quiet glow extends well beyond the confines of the picture plane.

Second Nature: Pulp Paintings by Ellen Hill
By building her images from colored paper pulp, Maryland artist Ellen Hill creates two dimensional works through a layering process that seems almost sculptural. Color, texture, line and gestural atmospheric effects are piled, pulled and stacked together to make lively abstractions rich with a myriad of associations.

A View Through:
Sculpture by Tess Cummins

Curator's essay
Using unusual and idiosyncratic materials, including weathered copper roofing sheet, gemstones, wrapped copper wire and handmade hinges and chain, Richmond artist Tess Cummins creates sculpture that transports the viewer to an archetypal and enigmatic world. Diminutive in scale but not impact, her sculptures owe their aesthetic genesis to both contemporary sculpture and drawing and to the metalsmithing processes used in ancient jewelry design. This work has the quirky, obsessive edge often associated with outsider art coupled with a sophisticated design sense and a meticulous attention to detail.

Paula Crawford: Paintings
Curator's essay
Paula Crawford's abstractions are firmly rooted in the process and materials of painting. Using a grid structure to ground each piece, Crawford also introduces a deeply enigmatic and energetic depiction of space, which alternately recedes, comes forward or lies flat on the picture plane. There is a dynamic underlying conversation between structure and improvisation in these nearly black and white paintings. This gives the work both content and visual snap. While the images derive much of their strength from the formal dualities they encompass- darkness and light, gestural and geometric- the y also bring to mind a wealth of open -ended references.

Nature Examined:
Drawings by Beverly Ress

Exploring both the wonder and the brutality of nature is a central concern for Maryland artist Beverly Ress.

These drawings demonstrate with quiet dignity the terrible beauty in all things.
