Bill Brookover in Main Line Art Center's Spring Gala Exhibition, 2016

exhibition

April 30 – June 5, 2016

Two of Bill Brookover's recent Rotating Triangle collages were chosen as part of Main Line Art Center's 2016 Spring Gala Exhibition.

The Rotating Triangle series explores geometry, pattern, chaos and order by layering images printed in various techniques. There is strong contrast in color, value, and pattern between the two layers, following a subtle repeating pattern.

Rotating Triangles (Pink on Black) was awarded Honorable Mention by juror Sharon Ewing, Director of Gross McCleaf Gallery, Philadelphia.

The Reform Project at Temple Contemporary

In 2013, two-dozen Philadelphia schools were shuttered by city authorities in an effort to close a budget deficit. In response to these closings, Temple Contemporary has commissioned artist Pepón Osorio to create a new installation specifically addressing the loss of the Fairhill Elementary School in North Philadelphia, not far from Temple University.

Seen and Liked: Keith R. Breitfeller, New Paintings at Abington Arts Center

Walking into the Kellner Gallery at Abington Art Center is a silent color explosion. Our favorites were the yellow paintings which were promises of the warmth and energy of Spring.

Each of the paintings consists of brush dabs of thick pigment that obscure energetic underpaintings. Just a peek shows through the calm repititive quieting.

Seen and Liked : CALL IT an installation by Brian David Dennis

The gallery is occupied by a large curved wall, bulging into the space. The structure spans wall to wall, floor to ceiling. Built of hand cut cardboard, the surface recalls layers of sediment. Through the corrugation a dawn tinted light dapples the observer. Behind the wall, light glares through a barely distinguishable forest of vertical lines. Moving in front of the wall, your ability to focus on any one trunk is frustrated by the limited view.
