Description:
Director's Choice: Susan Newbold & Alex Rheault – "Natural Overlaps"
An exhibition that witnesses an ongoing visual dialogue between the two artists, who for almost two years explored drawing and printmaking techniques in both collaborative and solitary practices. The results which came out of both practices have resulted in a body of work that is unique unto itself as it reflects both artists' sensibility.
Guild Group Show – "Inside or Out"
Juried by Melissa Stafford, director of Carrie Haddad Photographs in Hudson, NY, Guild Artists were invited to explore the many ways in which the concept of Inside or Out can be interpreted. The result is a multi media exhibition that expresses the imaginations and creative works of these diverse artists.
Alberta Cifolelli – "Softening the Edge 1964-2009"
By pairing recent paintings and printmaking with key examples of the artists work from the 60's, through the 90's, this exhibition creates a forum for discussing key elements and reoccurring themes. Specifically, these pairings focus on the use of color, line and form and how these elements have evolved. It will also serve as a spring board for discussing the connections between the artists more representational contemporary work and her older more abstract work.
Natasha Karpinskaia – "The Doodle Series"
A set of prints that began as meaningless drawings, miniscule in size, acquired a second existence as each drawing was enlarged, giving the artist a sense of importance and beauty not seen in their original incarnation. Placing these drawings in a particular environment, that turned out to be a sort of landscape, with a definite horizon line but pretty unidentifiable in terms of direct location. The doodle drawings were etched through a paper lithography process and incorporated into what the artist calls "surrealist landscape."
