Natalie Charkow Hollander, Ruth Miller

Lohin Geduld Gallery

531 W 25th St

Lohin Geduld Gallery is proud to present our next exhibition, sculpture by Natalie Charkow Hollander and paintings by Ruth Miller. These artists, who live and work in Connecticut, have been close friends and colleagues for over three decades. Their long awareness of one another's sensibilities informs and enhances aspects of their own work.

Natalie Charkow Hollander exhibited her sculpture at Lohin Geduld Gallery in 2004. Her reliefs in clay or stone range from the figurative to the abstract, exploring the idea of the picture plane as physical presence. Her imagery derives not only from paintings she loves, from Titian to Matisse, but also from sites like Canyon de Chelly, where cave-like dwellings are hollowed out of sheer rock face, and the Lycian tombs, cut into the cliffs on Turkey's Aegean coast. These influences are manifested in the work through an interplay between the virtual depth of patterns of light and dark, and the actual penetration of mass.

This is the first exhibition of Ruth Miller’s work at Lohin Geduld Gallery. The objects in Ruth Miller's paintings emerge from a charged and close atmosphere that speaks of domesticity. She addresses her still life objects directly, allowing her cabbages, gourds, cauliflowers, and pitchers a unique presence and formal strength which shapes the space around them. These paintings are imbued with a strong sense of specificity and gravity. They have a calm presence and an almost sculptural solidity.

Natalie Charkow Hollander graduated from Tyler School of Fine Arts, in Philadelphia. She founded the sculpture department at PCA (Philadelphia College of Art, now University of the Arts) and for over forty years has taught in undergraduate and MFA programs at Yale University, Boston University, Queens College, CUNY, University of Pennsylvania, and the New York Studio School. Her commissions include works for the city of Philadelphia, Queens College, CUNY, and RCA. In 2006, her work was shown in the Bryn Mawr College Gallery, and she continues to lecture and give critiques in various art programs.

Ruth Miller began her formal art education at the University of Missouri and later attended the Art Student's League, but it was in the context of the 10th Street art scene of the 1950s that she formed her lasting commitment to representational painting. She has been a teacher of drawing and painting at the New York Studio School since 1973 and has participated in exhibitions at the National Academy of Design Museum, New York Studio School Gallery, Bowery Gallery, Alexander Hogue Gallery in Tulsa, OK, and the Eleanor D. Wilson Museum at Hollins University. She recently had a traveling retrospective of her drawings that was seen at the New York Studio School Gallery, Jaffe-Friede & Strauss Galleries at Dartmouth College, and the Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery at Haverford College. She is a member of Zeuxis, an association of still-life painters.
