Gretl Bauer, Cedric van Eenoo, Sandra Gottlieb, Victoria Lowe, Francie Lyshak, Sarah Peterson, Francesca Schwartz and Gerald Wolfe: A WHITER SHADE OF PALE
Exhibition with work in various media that emphasizes the absence or reduction of color — while otherwise creating a richness in sensation for the viewer by way of concept, medium, materials and processes.The reduction of the palette brings forward nuances of color — shades of white, grey or beige often overlooked when shown side by side a richer color palette. The artists in the exhibition, deliberately chose a concept of expression reduced of color as a vehicle to convey what lies beneath or beside the demonstrative full spectrum — leading us away from what we are nowadays accustomed to and into the realm of a world of nuances, subtleties and the subconscious.
Exhibition Walk Thru and Reception: THURSDAY, JANUARY 19
6-8 PM.

Matthew Bede Murphy: If the Shoe Fits
In Matthew Bede Murphy’s debut solo show with the gallery, the artist highlights his materials as a central theme to his work, painting his sketchbooks and recreating the images within, assembling tableaus from domestic spaces and those around him in candid, intimate moments. This overarching theme of world-building is central to the artist’s practice, while working with recurring objects and subjects: flowers, landscapes, diaries, the self, sailors, and even aliens.
