Our Gang at Flomenhaft Gallery
September 7, 2006- October 21, 2006
547 W 27th St
At the
Flomenhaft Gallery in Chelsea major works by 10 master artists share an exhibit:
Emma Amos,
Paul Brach,
Neil Folberg,
Rimma Gerlovina and Valeriy Gerlovin,
Mira Lehr,
Dina Recanati,
Miriam Schapiro,
Roger Shimomura,
Jaune Quick-to-see Smith and
Flo Oy Wong. Several of the artists are part of what constitutes the tapestry of America, and like the others, continue to express something essential in their life and in their art. Russian émigré collaborative artists, who came to America in 1980,
Rimma Gerlovina and Valeriy Gerlovin, were founding members of the Underground Conceptual Movement in Soviet Russia. The photographs represented are not merely portraits. They play with paradoxes that go beyond reasonable logic.
Mira Lehr was inspired in her poetic art by Hans Hoffman and had worked closely with Buckminster Fuller and landscape architect Dan Kiley. These associations led to her focus on nature as well as on form and structure.
Dina Recanati, born in Cairo, Egypt, now lives in New York and Israel, and is the recipient of the King Solomon Award, the Louise Waterman Wise Award, and many others. The Untitled work shown here is about rehabilitating materials of folded cloth. Like shadows, their meaning is about survivorship of destroyed objects, part of an endless chain of reconstruction, and the striving for continuity.
Miriam Schapiro is the mother of femmage and a pioneer in the Pattern and Decoration movement. The
Miriam Schapiro Archives for Women Artists at Rutgers University was established in January 2006.
Jaune Quick-to-see Smith is a native American painter and printmaker who blends her native and western cultures with pathos and humor, and has lectured internationally at over 185 universities, museums and conferences.
