Carter Burden Gallery presents the paintings of Francie Lyshak together with ceramics by Linda Casbon  opening Thursday, September 9, 1-7 pm in the Main Gallery.  Covid protocols are in place and vaccine proof is required as well as masks.  As Dominique Nahas observes about Lyshak’s canvases: “Francie Lyshak is dedicated to making nuanced monochromatic oil paintings with surface-tension exacerbated through raised and indented surfaces as well as the planting, so to speak, of unanticipated details that delight the eye.” The glowing pigment fields in Francie Lyshak’s canvases, scraped with sculptural marks, create a surface relief that interacts with the ambient light with the result that these textured oils are discrete objects in and of themselves.
