The resulting forms resemble fetish objects from some forgotten tribe. |

JOAN
ROBEY
Contemplation
- 2006
metal
51.5 x 30 x18 inches (131 x 76 x 46 cm)
Joan
Robey - Joan
Robey's sculpture utilizes old and discarded objects and brings them
into a fresh context. Her materials, chosen for their markings and
form, are combined into simple, poetic assemblies. The completed sculptures
speak to aspects common to man, nature and physics; elements such
as gravity, inertia, chance and relationship. The work explores the
impact of forces and events and expresses themes of movement/repose,
tension/equilibrium, attraction/repulsion. |

DAN
DOUKE
GTX - 2006
acrylic on canvas
15 x 9.75 x 9 inches (38 x 24.75 x 23 cm)
Dan
Douke - The works in the artist's current exhibition are
straight-forward illusionist paintings on canvas. The box painting
GTX, 2006, is a five sided construction in the configuration of an
open-ended carton. The painting DOW, 2006 is an 8 x 4 foot canvas
that emulates industrial material. Everything that meets the eye;
scuffed, rubbed and worn marks, lettering and graphics are all hand-painted
and rendered painstakingly with brush. These are paintings that acknowledge
the things observed in everyday life, the mundane objects that most
people overlook. |

CARA
WOOD-GINDER
Hiking Boot - 2006
oil, acrylic and pencil on wood
10 x 8 inches (25 x 20 cm)
Cara Wood-Ginder - Cara Wood-Ginder infuses her still-lifes with optimism, irony, spiritualism, even sarcasm, but cloaked in artistic realism. These paintings resemble small blackboards with miniature chalk drawings in the corners. In the center of each panel is a tightly realistic oil painting of some everyday object. The fact that the picture in the center is surrounded by strange diagrams which seemingly don't have much to do with the image, gives it a second dimension; The paintings subconsciously suggest to the viewer a variety of ideas, such as "learning" and analysis". They are studies in the elegance of symmetry and simplicity, but speak to complexity and depth at the same time. |
