[Nettime-bold] Artemisia Gallery April Exhibition |
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: APRIL EXHIBITION Show Dates: April 5th to April 28 th Opening Reception: April 6th, 5-8PM EXHIBITIONS: Main Gallery: SONYA BAYSINGER, MOIST Sonya Baysinger's sculptural work is created in distinct cathartic episodes. The key to the formal and psychological dynamics embodied in her work lies in the specific choices of materials and the way she chooses to address the materials. Her organic structures represent the interdependence of all that is living and embody characteristics both anthropomorphic and zoomorphic. This exhibition presents Baysinger's new work and her first solo exhibition as a member of Artemisia gallery. Gallery A: MARY TOBIN, PHYSICALITY Mary Tobin's photography exhibition, "Physicality" presents color mural prints. The abstract and figurative imagery includes the physical movements of Eastern and Western figures with calligraphic obstacles. Through a series of layered images, she formally investigates the political, cultural, societal, and familial noises that interfere with our perceptions of the world. Frames fragment and dissemble, as original meanings become untethered from their moorings. Gallery B: VERA SCEKIC "These are elegant drawings, finely rendered yet without the grandiosity that sometimes accompanies virtuosity. They seem to refer to galaxies and at the same time to microscopic views of life forms and are presented with the cool impartiality of medical illustration." Excerpt of a review by Margaret Hawkins, The Chicago Sun Times, July 24, 1998. Scekic presents new work on paper using graphite and acrylic, constructing a visually poetic syntax that offers an elegant means for understanding ourselves and our surroundings. Gallery C: LEAH PETERSON, THE SUBURBAN CONDITION Leah Peterson was born and raised in a suburban town in Long Island, NY. Her recent photographic investigation, "The Suburban Condition" speaks to both the condition of the land and to the mental and emotional condition of those living in it. Her moving photographs speak to the urbanization of the suburban landscape, once a refuge from the city. For more information, email leahphoto@yahoo.com Gallery D: JEFFERY S. BIRD, THE LANDSCAPES OF THE LOST KINGS Artist Jeffery Bird's large scale mixed media paintings reveal complex, layered imagery and a varierty of painted surfaces. They have a strong physical presence conveyed by the powerful imagery, but also contain subtle areas, text, and delicate passages. The content incorporates the environment, animals, mythology, male identity, and a juxtaposition of Western and non-Western culture and cosmology. Bird is an Assistant Professor of Drawing and Painting at the State University of New York College at Brockport.
