For Immediate Release Group Show with 13 Diverse CT Artists Next at Fenn Woodbury, CT - Fenn Gallery presents Black, White & Between, a group show by The Erector Set. The show runs from June 28th - August 5th. The public is invited to the Reception on Sat., June 30th from 4 - 6. This show features the work of thirteen artists whose diversity in media and subject share the unifying thread of a black and white palette. Paintings, drawings, mixed media, textiles, photography and prints are represented. This exhibit celebrates the artist’s personal vision and a spirit of community. Paintings include white on white still lifes by Eileen Eder, who received her M.F.A. from the Graduate School of Figurative Art, New York Academy. Eder has taught drawing in multiple venues, including the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, CT. Margot Nimiroski’s color field paintings are done in muted greys, browns and whites. Her work is in the collection of the American Craft Museum, New York, NY. Thomas Stavovy’s entrancing Street Scene depicts overlapping figures outlined in black, sparcely painted or not, in blurred brushstrokes of brown and grey. Jennifer Davie’s paintings in black ink on white clay board are pleasingly patterned abstractions derived from plant biology. Also included are curvilinear paintings by Kathy Kane, whose work was exhibited at the Kyoto City Museum, Kyoto, Japan. Fethi Meghelli’s lithograph The Wedding Party is a lively and humorous narrative where both mischief and merrymaking are clearly afoot. Meghelli’s prints have been exhibited in Germany, France, Austria, Japan and the Czech Republic among other venues. Barbara Harder creates monotypes on paper and board using one of the largest hand-printmaking presses in the world. Gelatin Silver photographs by Nancy Berman and Freddi Elton are sensual renderings of body and cloth. Rag Fields, by fiber artist Andrea Miller is a harmonious
pastel patchwork of old, faded rags sewn onto canvas. Miller’s
work was chosen for inclusion in an international traveling exhibition
this year. Myra Serrins stitches white silk thread onto handmade
linen paper which has been hand-dyed deepest indigo. Her elegant
and spare compositions seem to contain a world of experience within
the frame’s confine. Using natural objects such as tree bark
and vines, Nancy Eisenfeld’s assemblages address the cycles
of growth and decay in life. Security by Victoria Branch is a tightly
ordered arrangement of folded paper strips from patterned security
envelopes. ### |
