Edith Newhall reviews : Josette Urso : Here and Then

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.

BLACKWHITEANDINBETWEEN, Tom Hlas, Trish Thompson, Wendy Wolf
exhibition
April 6 – May 19, 2012

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.
