Painting by Sue Mckee
exhibition

A collection of paintings by Susan Mckee

It occurs to me that painting is a comment.  Color, line and brushwork create a language - one that seems more knowing - a glance at the truth. No matter the subject matter, it is essential that  the artist trust the color and line to create through them a soulful response and a trustworthy  recording of the human experience.

stella untalan drawing for being in the woods
exhibition
June 6 June 26, 2016

Stella Untalan has created a series of drawings that are driven not by results but by process. Each of these drawings is made using the same ink, the same pen, the same unrelenting process. The results reveal themselves to be reminders of her walks and runs in the woods. The straight trunks making blurred lines that suggest motion, space, and time — a DNA image of being in the woods. 

The installation consists of her drawings, sound by Lesley Tao Mowat, and a corrugated cardboard construction: [bar] by Brian David Dennis. Come experience being in the woods.

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.
