511 W 25th St
SOHO20 Chelsea Gallery presents “Once More, with Feeling…” an
exhibition of
Ruth Gilbert’s most recent body of sculptural paintings and
sculptures. Working with the idea of a sailor as a central theme, Gilbert
brings forth an enchanting series of figures that allude to significant
relationships in her life.
Gilbert’s paintings break away from the rectangular canvas, come off of the
wall, and take on lively shapes and forms. Her whimsical sculptures are made
from ordinary hardware materials and contain an element of simplicity that is
derived from the artist’s intuitive feelings.
Gilbert’s work is further inspired by images from early civilizations. The use of
this particular imagery stems from the artist’s interest in cultures that seem
untainted by the strains of modern society.
Ruth Gilbert lives and works in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York. She has
held various group and solo shows, and her work has been shown at: The
Maitland Art Center, FL, The Boulder Art Center, CO, and the Bronx
Museum for the Arts, NY. This is her second solo show at SOHO20
Chelsea Gallery.
