Keith R Breitfeller + Brian David Dennis : Abeyance
exhibition
April 3 – May 24, 2014

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

Review : Ritual Reading Room by Edith Newhall
exhibition
December 6 – January 25, 2014

Biblioshow

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.

Jean Burdick : Shared Origins
exhibition
December 4 – December 29, 2013

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.
