“Last March from the moment we landed in Iceland I was struck by the snow cover. The whiteness of the landscape. Upon close study I started seeing the subtle color variations in the frozen landscape. Also the seeming hidden things inside the glaciers and under the snow. When we arrived home I felt a great need to document this feeling in my work.”

— Keith R. Breitfeller regarding this Series,

The Impermanence of Being, an exhibition in Gallery 1 of photographic self-portraiture by Sarah R. Bloom.

Artist Reception
March 10 / 1:30 - 4 PM

This exhibition features all new drawings. In the past year Stella has renewed her exploration of color relationships and color saturation, a departure from her last exhibition. These drawings on panels move gently onto new planes.

The constant in her work is the role of process and materials. Methodical, repetitious, and meditative marks are the vocabulary of measurement and probing.

Inspired by Broad’s recent artist residency in Iceland, Greater Than Less Than represents a dynamic collaboration with the extremes of nature – ice, wind, and fire – and Iceland’s inhabitants’ strength of spirit. To parallel nature’s impact on the work, concepts are revealed with bold graphic forms. Some pigments were ground from lava rock and other Icelandic minerals. Colors are primary and contrasting.  

The Avery Gallery in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania is hosting two notable exhibits. Both shows highlight the work of women artists.

The historical show "American Women Artists-1860-1960-" is a beautiful collection that examines the role that women artists played in the growth of art in America including Mary Cassatt, Lillian Westcott Hale, Margaret Sargent, and others.

In addition, the gallery is showing the work of 9 contemporary artists including Karen Fogarty, Elizabeth Osbourne, Emily Brown, Celia Reisman and others.

Clay monoprinting is my joy and my passion.  It is a unique form of image transfer developed by Mitch Lyons, who I am fortunate enough to study with. The printing 'plate' is a clay slab. Color is applied with clay slip to which pigments have been added. Layers of texture using all kinds of materials can be added. The 'paper' is a synthetic interfacing material called Reemay 2470. When placed over the design and hand rubbed with a pony roller, a print from the slab is transferred to the two-dimensional material.

A short film documenting Rebecca Gilbert's work in the studio last year as she worked toward her solo exhibition at The Print Center this past winter and spring. The film, which was the project of Joseph Rose, also offers a sneak peek at some of my upcoming works. In addition to making films, Joseph also runs his own letterpress shop, Black Heart Letterpress. The film is eleven minutes long.

One of the newest to join our tribe Michelle Angela Ortiz is included in a pop up exhibition entitled Revolutionary. The pop up exhibition lasts six weeks.

The portraits are stills from a video interview of community member, Cruz. Cruz lives in Philadelphia and shared his experience with ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and almost being deported. He spoke about his year long struggle with wearing a probation bracelet, being intimidated by ICE agents, and living in fear in what was once for him a city of hope. — Michelle Ortiz

The contemporary new work of Robert McNellis is a bold departure from his lit abstractions of the last year. Expanding from the previous structural solutions, he has turned to using surprising, anonymous images derived from photographs, or photographs derived from anonymous images, and combining these with precise, structures. The elements that make this possible are vague, almost anonymous, figuration and focused light.

Forms of Resistance, a two-person exhibition featuring works on paper by Tim McFarlane and Washington, D.C.-based artist, Miguel Rodriguez. The show consists of 20 new works on paper by each artist, with all work produced in 2017.

Stella Untalan, one of our tribe, is very excited to exhibit her 15-foot-long drawing, soundings : fifteen seven, and several smaller indigo blue field drawings. Marguerita's La Mer series of small sculpted organisms will dance with her soundings pieces.

Stella's fifteen seven consists of more than 50,000 handmade marks made by steel dip pen. Each dip of the pen and marks made probe the distance the ink will travel. 

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.

It's spring and it's getting greener every minute. We've heard people say "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" — really? Is that what this show is all about? Maybe, maybe not. Come see how thirty artists interpreted our theme in more than 60 pieces of work no larger than 5.5 x 8.5, unframed.

Special Exhibition
Heavy Bubble is pleased to announce that during Philadelphia Open Studio Tours East we will be showing Insects too Lovely to Repel a selection of watercolors by PD Packard.

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.

We're happy to announce that Nancy Barch our very first member of the tribe will be participating again this year in the Rittenhouse Square Fine Arts Festival. Original works of art in the beautiful setting of Rittenhouse Square. Come speak with the artists about their works and how they do what they do!

The exhibit will run from June 11- 25, 2015.

365+1 #drawingaday is a digital drawing-a-day project.

365 + 1, 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. 

Elemental Iteration is a two-­‐person exhibition featuring works on paper by Lori Spencer and Rebecca Gilbert. The exhibition centers on a collaborative ensemble of prints that employs, as its instigators, the elements earth, water, fire, and air. These elements are explored through a receive-­‐and-­‐respond process between the two artists, with printmaking at its core.

Damini Celebre's year long project Turnings has been selected for the New Hampshire Chapter of the Women’s Caucus for Art exhibition entitled: Force of Nature: Exploring the Power of the Feminine. The exhibition will open on July 6, 2015 at the Karl Drerup Art Gallery and Silver Center for the Arts located on the campus of Plymouth State University in Plymouth, New Hampshire.

WHYY-TV Program Features Extraordinary Women from the Philadelphia Area book.

In 2013 Lesley Mitchell was invited by Melissa Tevere, the art editor of Philadelphia Stories, to make a piece inspired by Marian Anderson the opera singer. The result was her painting Marian Anderson of Philadelphia, which was included in the book Extraordinary Gifts: Remarkable Women of the Delaware Valley, published by Philadelphia Stories the following year.

We're happy to announce a new member of the tribe Dan Mangan. It was a pleasure to assist him in getting his site launched.

Dan's work blurs the space between photography and painting, blending form, light, and shadow into an image which has unique visual appeal. Dan has presented a large body of work in his portfolio. Spend some time there browsing each of his galleries. We are extremely interested in his work that appears to be a painting.
