SUMMARY:Roses\, Ruffs\, and Reflections | Alicia Brown\, Claire Partington\, Tony Scherman
DESCRIPTION:Winston Wächter Fine Art\, New York is pleased to present “Roses\, Ruffs\, and Reflections”\, a group exhibition featuring works by Alicia Brown\, Claire Partington\, and Tony Scherman. Each artist employs traditional techniques and historical styles in distinctly different ways that continues the conversation of the deep-rooted constructs of power and oppression that have been seen throughout generations. The works are hauntingly hopeful and carry the strength of persistence\, wrapped together with a bit of humor in their visions for the future. \nIn Imaginary Homelands\, Alicia Brown celebrates the perseverance of migrants who have left their home countries either voluntarily or by force. Brown uses portraiture to tell the stories of friends and family from Jamaica residing in the United States. She combines elements from Jamaican culture including native plants\, animals\, objects\, symbols\, and idioms with elements from Western art and history. In doing so\, Brown examines the duality of who a subject was in their homeland and who they become in order to adapt and survive in a foreign culture. Objects such as Elizabethan ruff collars evoke narratives of power\, control\, and social status\, while native Caribbean plants create an environment of home. In these powerful portraits\, Brown celebrates the ingenuity with which immigrants both adapt to and shape their adopted homes. \nClaire Partington’s mixed-media ceramic sculptures draw from both traditional and contemporary art practices. Referencing portraiture conventions from throughout art history as well as contemporary social media\, Partington humorously comments on constructs of gender and power. Echo and Narcissus are a pair of sculptures inspired by Greek Mythology. Echo\, a mountain nymph who could only repeat the last word that she heard and Narcissus\, who fell in love with his own reflection\, are depicted as teenagers absorbed in their phones. These porcelain and earthenware figures reference not only antiquity but fashionable sculpture from the 18th century. In these and other works\, Partington playfully mixes up imagery from antiquity\, social media\, art history\, folklore\, and fashion to prompt questions about interpretation and narrative\, particularly about women\, and particularly about power.  \nTony Scherman works in the ancient technique of encaustic by layering wax\, oil paint\, and pigments to build deeply expressive paintings. His series\, For all the wise women persecuted as “witches”\, is dedicated to women throughout history to the present day who have been punished for their wisdom\, progressiveness\, or determination. Each piece depicts two roses\, illuminated in an ethereal yellow-green light against a swirling dark ground. The flowers stand out against a depth of darkness as petals\, leaves\, and other elements play and shift along the surface of the painting. The roses are a tribute\, a hopeful beacon of perseverance against the oppression of forward-thinking women. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Opening Lecture: “Norma Minkowitz: Body to Soul”
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Diffley Board Room for an opening night lecture to celebrate the opening of the exhibition Norma Minkowitz: Body to Soul\, on view in the Bellarmine Hall Galleries from January 27 – April 6\, 2023. Curator Sarah Parrish\, PhD\, Assistant Professor of Art History\, Plymouth State University\, will introduce the exhibition. A reception with light refreshments will follow at 6 p.m. in the Great Hall\, accompanied by live music\, and the Bellarmine Hall Galleries will be open 6-8 p.m. \nWe invite you to join the conversation via the following options: \n\nIn-person in the Diffley Board Room (1st floor of Bellarmine Hall)\nStreaming via thequicklive.com or https://bit.ly/BodytoSoul\n\nAbout the exhibition: \nNorma Minkowitz: Body to Soul is a solo exhibition surveying the artist’s four-decade engagement with the physical and symbolic properties of thread. Minkowitz reinvents traditional needlework by crocheting fantastical forms\, coating them in resin and shellac to create rigid sculptures and hangings. The delicate\, mesh-like surfaces of her artworks break down oppositions between soft and hard\, inside and outside\, body and soul. \nThe poetic title Body to Soul  is borrowed from just one of the sculptures that will be on view\, but it is a broader theme that reverberates across the exhibition’s selection of over thirty vessels\, sculptures\, wall hangings\, wearables\, and works on paper – including never-before-seen examples coming from the artist’s studio. \nNorma Minkowitz lives and works in Connecticut. Her work is represented in private and public collections across the United States and internationally. She is unique among fiber artists creating hard sculptures from soft materials\, and for using thread to invoke universal themes of mortality\, memory\, nature\, and writing. The exhibition is guest curated by Sarah Parrish PhD.\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Plymouth State University\, New Hampshire. \nhttps://www.fairfield.edu/museum/norma-minkowitz/ \n  \nImage: Norma Minkowitz\, Body to Soul\, 2003\, fiber\, metal\, resin\, paint\, mirror\, crocheted.
