In the back of Rosenfeld Gallery are an array of luscious, rich, yummy paintings by Donna Quinn. The canvases have much to say with their layered color fields, obliterated, scratched, and prodded with a vocabulary that transverses the square paintings with familiarity, not necessarily ease.  The colors invite you, envelop you, sometimes they glow.

Ms Quinn titles her works in ways that suggest a narrative and take you on a journey — one square at a time.

Only Photographs is a collection of images based upon the principle of photograph as a holistic study of space, time, energy, and momentum. The show presents paired images from 14 photographers throughout the U.S. and Europe, each in his or her own visual perception of the world surrounding them. The resulting collection of images offers insight into 14 sets of life stages and unique environmental visions, encapsulated and unified by the force of photography, enabling photographer and viewer to investigate and celebrate these suspended moments together.

We’re not the only folks expanding the definition of drawing with our show Stimuli•Stimulus. At Gallery Joe paintings by Sabine Friesicke fit the bill with densely drawn lines and grids. Can’t wait to see this show. Here’s a bit from Edith Newhall’s column. We see grids everywhere, every day — I’m looking through window panes at our neighbors’ asphalt shingles right now — but when they’re transposed to paintings and drawings, the effect can be hypnotic, even romantic.
