Bill Brookover is the featured artist for September in the Quarter Sheet Challenge at Second State Press. He's showing two recent constructed collages: Vibrating Triangles (Gray on Black), and Rotating Triangles (Red on Black).
This show comes from Katherine's love of painting the figure freely. The old Shaker song Simple Gifts says it best: "and when we are found in the place that is right/We will be in the garden of love and delight."
In this show, Katherine Kurtz returns to painting the figure, larger and more loosely than ever. Often monumental in size, the paintings nevertheless convey an intimacy and a tenderness.
