Phoenix Gallery
210 11th AveThe Phoenix Gallery is proud to present a group show of eight artist-members, some of whom are exhibiting their work for the first time at the gallery. This diverse group will exhibit art in a broad range of media including fiber, mixed media, painting, performance, sculpture, sound, and video.
HARRIET SOBIE GOLDSTEIN paints in oil and acrylic on canvas. Ms. Goldstein is interested in both abstract and landscape painting where she likes to play with perspective. Her forte is her rich use of color to enhance mood.
JOAN HARMON’s sculpture explores the play between the physical and the emotional. She juxtaposes or merges natural forms in unexpected associations that create a mythological narrative or hybrid state.
PAT HICKMAN’s work sometimes requires excessive, obsessive labor, the slowing down of time, stepping out of the urgent pace of daily life. Other times it looks effortless. Out of seemingly nothing, something is created. Her work speaks of holding what cannot be captured: light, breath, time, impermanence, mortality.
POLLY KURASCH creates mixed media wall sculptures. The imagery is of horses exposed, anti-carousel animals, the inside-out of body and mind.
WINN REA conjures satellite views of the landscape in her current series, “Highlands”. Through a process of evaporation and sedimentation, viridian tones of gouache delineate the three-dimensional contours of paper creating topographical maps of imaginary terrain. Paradoxically specific and universal, the “Highlands” remind us of vanishing forests around the globe.
TOBY GOTESMAN SCHNEIER is a reality-based, ‘mannerist’ painter, whose playful and bountiful application of color and sweeping brush strokes are reminiscent of the French Fauvists.
MOKLESA D.SHAH has a very basic ethic behind her work. Basic shapes, lines and images give her a wide variety of building blocks from which to create life. Each of these simple formative expressions of visual thoughts are an external realization of things readily reproduced in nature. It seems that her paintings and drawings have their own life and she lets them grow their own way.
BARBARA YONTZ works with ideas related to the material and psychological consequences of relationships. Using various media including sound, video and performance allows for fluid and fragmented access to this messy, uncontrollable, imperfect site of possibilities.
Please join us at the reception on Thursday, November 29th, 6-8 or on Friday, December 7th, 6-8 PM to meet the artists. Regular Gallery Hours are 11:30-a.m.-6:00 p.m., Tuesday-Saturday. For further information please contact Linda Handler, Director.
