Exhibition Information | Press Release
Rella Stuart Hunt’s work follows in the tradition of non-objective painting and derives from a directly felt response to her poetry. Her poems, through their exploration of visual sensory experiences, help her to bridge the gap between her aesthetic and semantic ideas in painting.
Craig Manister’s recent paintings, executed in black and white, use landscape to contextualize abstract forms. The forms, based on the keyhole, function as surrogates for the human figure.
Andrea Packard’s landscapes and domestic scenes explore the richness and simultaneity of memory, desire, and perception. She develops striking imagery and relationships through combining handmade and painted paper with fragments of woodcuts, etchings, and fabric.
Martha Armstrong’s painterly abstractions from the landscape have won acclaim for their inventiveness and verve. In 2005, Jonathan Goodman wrote “There is always an exploratory energy within Armstrong’s art. She consistently investigates the landscape with expressive gestures whose vibrancy engages her audience with intelligence and energy.”
