Opening Reception Sunday, January 5, 2014
Donna Quinn exhibits her latest group of abstract paintings. This recent body of work builds upon her materials-driven process to create layers of paint and mixed media that develop highly textured fields of color etched with organic lines, intuitive marks, and repetitive shapes.
Susan McKee is the proprietor of Old City Flowers in the historic district of Philadelphia where her paintings are continually displayed.
Susan is a contemporary artist working in The Mills Artist Studios in Manayunk and a proud member of The Muse Gallery.
A working artist, Susan shows her work primarily in the tri -state region. Because of the diverse and international audience that frequent Old City - An American Art place" her clients include those in the Philadelphia area, as close as New York and as far as Chile.
Breitfeller and Dennis again offer the viewer a moment to suspend time. Breitfeller continues to delve in to the contemplative with his expansive color fields. His heavily textured oil paintings are a series of short brush strokes applied layer upon layer. Dennis will be showing then, an installation that plays with the intimate scale of the gallery. Chains of inverted, miniature ladders dangle from the ceiling. The wooden ladders are decorated with dashes of color paper. The work is fragile and precarious, playful with a twinge of cynicism
110 CHURCH gallery, on Church Street in Old City, may qualify as Philadelphia's smallest gallery, but it never fails to make the most of its petite white space. Case in point: "Ritual Reading Room, 100 Artists/200 Books," a monumental gathering of artists' books so ingeniously installed that, instead of throwing your hands up at the sheer volume of work, you can't help but be drawn to all of these minuscule books arranged on the walls and narrow tables in tidy grids.
In my paintings and works on paper, elements of nature are magnified, overlapped and obscured, reflecting the continual growth and change, which is the touchstone of the natural world. By altering the scale of the forms and elements, the work suggests shared origins: cellular structures, earth and landscape formations.
110 CHURCH gallery invites you to retreat from the cold into our gallery, transformed into a reading room. Be surrounded by stories, engulfed by pages, dazzled by over two hundred books. Books on shelves. Books on tables. Books hanging. Walls covered with books on display. Take books down, curl up and read. Fall in love with a book, buy it, and take it home.
Book Paper Scissors is an artists' book fair, free and open to the public, accompanied by book and paper workshops.
Many accomplished artists and artisans, including some Cosmopolatain Club members, offer their work for sale at this Holiday Bazaar. You are invited to shop for one-of-a-kind gifts in fiber, paper, wood, glass, ceramics, paint, photography and more at every price-point.
