Stella Untalan : 600 Drawings : installation + sale

exhibition

February 7 – February 29, 2020

600 drawings 4x4 2019, is the result of a drawing project — making at least one drawing each day. This project involved the use of four-inch squares of paper of various weights, colors, and surfaces. I found that many small pieces could be cut out of remnants of paper in my studio.

Year long projects help expand my vocabulary, they create new phrases and expletives. Join me to see the hundreds of drawings I made in this series.

Keith Breitfeller : : Philadelphia Open Studio Tours @HBHQ

exhibition

October 14 – October 21, 2018

“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,
