365 is the result of a drawing-a-day project — a daily constancy in drawing. Experimenting with a foreign surface and unfamiliar tools, Stella drew with sketch software on her iPhone. A step outside the studio and away from the comfort of familiar, analog tools.
University of the Arts MFA Program in Studio Art's 18th Annual Summer Lecture Series
Precisely nowhere by Edith Newhall (Philadelphia Inquirer June 17, 2012)
Josette Urso's oil paintings on panels conjure things and places in her real life quickly and democratically jotted down, but without a there there. The mutable areas between her gestures, lines, and scaffolding-like shapes suggest the time, as much as the physical space, that lies in between each observance.
New works by Carol Wisker and Melissa Maddonni Haims.
Carol Wisker is a member of the 3rd Street Gallery, a co-operative artists space in Old City. Wisker's abstract sculptures and paintings explore the use of line in the fluidity of paint and in the combination of fiber with a variety of diverse materials, including silk cocoons, hand-cast paper, wood, bamboo and metal.
Went over to The Cosmopolitan Club today to see photos by Anne Saint Peter. A wonderful exhibition of Philadelphia. Take a moment to stop in and see the show at a Philadelphia Landmark.
Spring Awakening is a group exhibition of paintings and works on paper by Lorraine Gessner, Linda Dubin Garfield, Mary Kane and Stella Untalan. Please join us for the reception honoring Ed Bronstein, who started art exhibitions at the Philadelphia Board of Ethics.
Stella Untalan will be showing six drawings in her new Soundings Series.
Instinctual connections pull us toward conclusions. The work in this exhibition involves curiosity, reaction, and natural repetition. It is an abstract conversation in the absence of color.
Paintings by Tom Hlas, drawings by Trish Thompson, and an installation by Wendy Wolf.
