SUMMARY:Ellen Carey: Light Struck
DESCRIPTION:A new lens is brought to familiar ground in May 2023 with Light Struck\, an exhibition of photographic works by photographer and artist Ellen Carey taking place at England’s birthplace of photography\, Lacock Abbey\, former home of William Henry Fox Talbot. \nKnown for her work with Polaroid and named by the Royal Photographic Society in 2019 as one of their ‘Hundred Heroines’ of photography\, Carey’s work takes the viewer through a two centuries arc of photographic discovery. Using light and colour as guide and creator\, Carey’s pieces are created entirely within the ‘black box’ of a colour darkroom. Modern Polaroid is combined with Henry Fox Talbot’s contact print to find common ground with pre-digital and digital techniques. Light Struck also features an entirely new piece created especially for Lacock\, using Fox Talbot’s ‘Cascade of Spruce Needles’ photogram from 1839. \nWith new technologies pushing the boundaries of photography more than ever before\, Light Struck playfully invites you to ponder the questions: ‘how is this made?’ and ‘what exactly is photography in the 21st Century?’ As Carey comments\, ‘when light becomes visible the object speaks.’ Expect a celebration of light\, colour and playfulness within a burst of creativity and invention. \n27 May until 31 March 2024. Normal admission applies\, free for National Trust members. \n  Save

SUMMARY:4th Friday Art Shows and Opening Reception @ Art Works!
DESCRIPTION:In May Art Works is featuring four artists—all painters yet all vastly different in their approach and techniques. John Wagoner redefines painting that transitions into sculpture. Glenda Creamer layers marks like constellations creating an illusion of depth. Michael Greiner is the quintessential figure and portrait painter. Lisa Kidd Flinn brings us abstract compositions of bold color. And as always\, we host the monthly All Media Show featuring Virginia artists. \n  \nJoin us on May 26th from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. for the opening reception. Meet the artists and enjoy live music\, refreshments and libations sponsored by RVA Thriving Artists. Parking is free. The exhibits continue through June 17th. The event is free and open to the public. \n\nRecent Work by John Wagoner \nJohn Wagoner challenges the notion of what defines a painting by creating works of art that transition between painting and sculpture. The audience can examine and experience these boundaries or relationships within these works\, presented in different modalities\, and to view paint as a very fluid medium. \n  \nThe exhibit will be in the Jane Sandelin Gallery. \n  \n  \nThe Figure in Oil by Mike Greiner \nA graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University Mike Greiner’s main focus as a painter is the human figure\, and portraits. His palette choices are earth tones with deep shadows. His goal is “to simply interpret what has already been created using techniques developed by the masters of old.” \n  \nThe exhibit will be in the Centre Gallery \n  \n  \n  \n  \nSeeking Calm by Glenda Creamer \nGlenda Creamer’s paintings can be described as rows of marks\, like constellations. These marks vary in size and intensity. She paints these in many layers which interact with the ground\, editing as she goes until the painting achieves a balance from side to side as well as in the illusion of depth. These marks appear to move at various speeds. On a personal level she feels these paintings reflect her own struggles with hyperactivity trapped inside an aging body. She says\, “I paint out the negatives to preserve the positives. Yes\, horrible things happen but so do good things. Acknowledge the bad but keep going\, looking for the joy and humor in life.” \nThe exhibit will be in the Corner Gallery. \n  \n  \n  \nRecent Works by Lisa Kidd Flynn \nLisa Kidd is a painter working in acrylic and watercolor. This exhibit features abstract works on canvas that focus on vibrant colors and bold compositions. “Painting is my window into another world. While there’s a brush in my hand and paint on my fingers\, everything else falls away.” \n  \nThe exhibit will be in the Port Gallery. \n  \n  \n  \nMay 2023 ALL MEDIA ART SHOW  \nThis exhibit is a focal point of all Art Works’ openings. It is a juried show with cash prizes for 1st\, 2nd and 3rd place. The show is open to all artists and all mediums. This exhibit will be in the Skylight gallery. There is no theme for this exhibit\, anything goes\, any medium. Call for entries is April 1\, 2023 – May 15\, 2023. Submit your entries through our online form.

SUMMARY:Martha Armstrong: From Arizona to Vermont\, 2023
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: May 23 – June 17\, 2023 \nOpening Reception: Thurs\, May 25\, 5PM-8PM \nArtist Talk: Sat\, June 3\, 3PM  \nBowery Gallery is pleased to announce a major solo exhibition of new paintings by Martha Armstrong. This exhibition\, From Arizona to Vermont\, is Armstrong’s eighth show at Bowery Gallery. This new work features Armstrong’s distinctive energetic composition in landscape paintings depicting two contrasting environments: the forested hills of Vermont and the deserts of Arizona.  An observational painter\, Armstrong has been painting at the window of her Vermont studio for many years\, observing the changing light and seasons of this New England landscape. More recently\, Armstrong has turned her eye to the Arizona deserts. Each of these landscapes receives Armstrong’s painterly attention and passionate craft\, and as each painting\, in Armstrong’s words\, exhibits its own “intuition\, feeling\, judgment and memory.” \n  \nIn a New York Times review of Armstrong’s 2015 show at Bowery Gallery\, critic Roberta Smith wrote:  \n“She attacks blocky shapes of color that describe one landscape—a hill with some woods and a shack—visible from the window of her Vermont studio that may be her Mont Sainte-Victoire. But her shapes also maintain a nearly sculptural independence….At once improvisational and carefully carpentered\, these paintings explode toward the eye\, like nature on first sight\, at its most welcoming and irrepressible.” \n  \nAbout her new Arizona landscape paintings\, Martha Armstrong says\,  \n“Working on desert paintings\, a wild dangerous place–large animals\, thorns\, snakes-brilliant flowers\, saguaro cacti\, tenacious trees. Tom Hanks said of the desert\, ‘I couldn’t tell where heaven stopped and earth began.’ He was talking about the sun coming up. I am fascinated to be in the desert as the sun goes down. A mysterious event in a huge sky almost every day. We in the East see pieces of sky through tall trees. The drama before the curtain falls on darkness is breathtaking. It takes minutes—seconds–and is gone. I try to capture several changes in one image. That’s the only way it looks real to me. I’m usually painting in complete darkness in my studio trying to remember where colors are on my palette. Then I turn on the light and break the spell and say\, so try another night. It will happen again.” \n  \nBorn in 1940\, Martha Armstrong has had an extensive and noteworthy painting career. She is a 1962 graduate of Smith College\, and received a Master’s Degree from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1963. Armstrong has taught at the Kansas City Art Institute\, Smith\, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts\, and Indiana University in Bloomington\, among others. She has exhibited regionally and nationally and is in the permanent collections of The Woodmere Art Museum in Philadelphia\, The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City\, the State Museum of Pennsylvania in Harrisburg\, the Wharton School at University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and many other public and private collections across the country.  \n  \n  Save

SUMMARY:Opening Reception for Masako Miki: Empathy Lab
DESCRIPTION:Masako Miki\nEmpaty Lab\nMay 18 – June 30\, 2023\nOpening reception: Thursday\, May 18\, 2023\, 6:00-8:00 pm \nRYAN LEE is pleased to announce Empathy Lab\, the first major exhibition of a debut body of work by Bay Area-based Japanese contemporary artist Masako Miki. The landmark solo show proudly introduces new works to her Shapeshifters series\, which roots its expressions in the animistic polytheism of Shinto traditions. Conceiving of the gallery as a home\, Miki constructs various spaces for casual connection and contemplation\, from an engawa deck to an open garden-scape dotted with deity-inspired bronze and felt creatures\, objects\, and forms\, alongside vibrant drawings that convey the outside world.  \nEmpathy Lab ignites the artist’s common theme of questioning how tradition and folklore offer grounds for exploring bicultural identity. In her characters—whose designs are rooted in deep histories of animistic mythology—sacredness is implied\, regardless of diversity in form\, texture\, surface or material make-up. “Normalcy” is supplanted by a divine plurality of identity\, significant and celebrated in each unique sense of selfhood.  \nIn their exaltation\, some of the characters are literally uplifted. Inspired by the engawa element characteristic of Japanese architecture—a transitional wood-deck bridging residential interior and exterior spaces—Miki elevates a portion of the gallery to invite and welcome interaction with the art\, and perhaps most importantly with one another.   \nHolistically responding to the gallery’s layout\, she envisioned tokonoma spaces too\, another architectural element common in Japanese housing. This area showcases Miki’s Shapeshifters in a deliberately homey\, communal setting inspired by the everyday engagement that passersby may have with friends and neighbors\, or even with houses of deities (shrines) in Japan. “This casual socialization can lead to meaningful connections\, and shared experience is the first step to building communities\,” says Miki. In Shinto folklore\, “there are a myriad of gods in this universe\, yet they can only fulfill their duties as a collective. I resonate these ideas in my work as a reminder of how we endeavor our challenges together.” \nThe exhibition\, as such\, offers more than just its physical experience—it suggests multiple vibrant entry points into exploring the junctures of tradition and modernity\, and the cultural marriages that they often signal. The cast bronze pieces express the “synthesis of combining two finishes of century-old patina with the modern invention of automotive paint\,” which is an extremely complex color application process; while the similarly involved process of creating the felt characters utilizes wool\, activating multitudes of design phases before reaching final form. \nThis presentation of new works is ultimately about reclaiming the power of myth-making. We are told and we succumb to stories that punctuate our shared histories with painful and unresolved tensions.“Our lives are filled with mythologies\, manipulated ideologies\, and fear-driven narratives that deepen chasms among us\,” says Miki. Her work proposes resolution through creative and communal agency\, exhibiting through her characters and environments the optimistic reality of the power of imagination to drive the future. “I am convinced that we need new mythologies to question old myths. We can update the myths.” \nMasako Miki (b. 1974 Osaka\, Japan) is a multimedia artist whose work ranges installation and large-scale sculpture\, printmaking\, watercolor and felting. A native of Japan\, she now lives and works in Berkeley\, CA. Her work frequently explores the idea of synthesis—manipulating contradicting spatial elements to suggest a disoriented context and space. The artist bases her narrative on her own experiences of becoming bicultural in the United States at the age of eighteen. Strongly influenced by craft and folk art of different cultures\, she remains close to her ancestral traditions\, frequently considering motifs and ideologies that arise from her association with Buddhism\, Shintoism\, and traditional Japanese folklore. The artist’s practice is further rooted in the belief that art can foster social contexts in which contemporary and universally relevant mythologies and social narratives can be generated—replacing or fixing harmful misconceptions and mythologies of the past that have previously sparked social injustices.  \nMiki has been included in solo and group exhibitions at the ICA San Jose\, CA (2022); Katonah Museum of Art\, NY (2022); Marin Museum of Contemporary Art\, CA (2022); Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive\, CA (2019); and de Young  Museum\, CA (2016)\, among others. Her large-scale sculptures were recently commissioned as a permanent installation at the Uber Technologies headquarters in Mission Bay\, San Francisco. Her work is included in the collections of The Byrd Hoffman Water Mill Foundation\, NY and the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive\, CA. She received her MFA from San Jose State University. \nAbout RYAN LEE\nCelebrating emerging and established artists and estates\, RYAN LEE takes a multi-generational approach to its programming\, presenting innovative and scholarly exhibitions across all spectrums of art practices\, including painting\, photography\, video\, sculpture\, and performance.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception for Martine Gutierrez | ANTI-ICON: APOKALYPSIS
DESCRIPTION:Martine Gutierrez\nANTI-ICON: APOKALYPSIS\nMay 18 – June 30\, 2023\nOpening reception: Thursday\, May 18\, 2023\, 6:00-8:00 pm \nStill a patriarchal language\, a determinative frame. Still a divisional boundary of womanhood\, a categorization of the icon\, a spiritual reality in mass production. The same face of currency made over and over again. What is an icon\, a cult image? Rather\, what is an image? What brings a symbol to power? Culture is history’s political influence\, a pendulum of domination. What is power without resistance? The historical moment\, and the figure that stands in opposition. Icon as fact\, a perceived understanding of truth in the world\, teaching us how to see. Image as instruction; see\, when an aspiration finds meaning it exceeds its boundaries\, it becomes momentous. Larger than life or death\, but rather the cycle between lives. Not a vision\, but the place we are at now\, the inevitable new\, the next civilization we are going to become. In refusal of deception\, an encounter with unobfuscated femininity is revealed. If the icon shows humanity’s spiritual ideal\, it is the anti-icon who refuses the delusion of man\, his inflated self-conception. For the icon makes real the image\, anti-icon must break through to reveal reality. What is a revelation? A proclamation of clarity\, a veneer stripped away\, a shattering. It feels like the world is ending\, because it did; it has before\, and it will again end. What is the world? In the progress of nihilism\, creation becomes resistance; a new image of what the world was all along.\n– Martine Gutierrez \nRYAN LEE is pleased to present ANTI-ICON: APOKALYPSIS\, a daring new body of work by artist Martine Gutierrez. The series continues her exploration of identity across the cultural landscapes of gender\, race and celebrity. In 17 new works\, Gutierrez has transformed herself into a multitude of idols. Costumed by the barest of essentials\, Gutierrez’s figure is the catalyst\, reflecting dystopian futurism upon the symbols of our past. Through each metamorphosis\, Gutierrez re-envisions a diverse canon of radical heroines who have achieved legendary cultural influence over thousands of years in both art history and pop culture. \nThe project’s cult following began in 2021 when it was commissioned by the Public Art Fund\, exhibited on bus shelters normally used for advertising. Only 10 images from the original series were chosen to circulate.  In response to societal censors\, Gutierrez had the nude forms veiled thus further interrogating the public restrictions placed on the female body in the United States. The larger-than-life portraits were encountered by pedestrians on their daily commutes\, reproduced in 300 locations throughout New York\, Chicago\, and Boston. \nThis summer\, Gutierrez will reveal ANTI-ICON: APOKALYPSIS in three distinct selections set to preview across three venues: RYAN LEE Gallery\, New York; Fraenkel Gallery\, San Francisco; and Josh Lilley\, London. The three-gallery exhibition will be accompanied by a new artist book\, published by RYAN LEE\, entitled APOKALYPSIS. The full collection of 17 portraits will be presented in its entirety for the first time in a traveling museum show\, organized by Polygon Gallery\, Vancouver slated for 2024. \nGutierrez is the sole performer in the series\, portraying all 17 groundbreaking figures: Aphrodite\, ancient Greek goddess of love\, desire and beauty\, identified by the Romans as ‘Venus’; Ardhanarishvara\, composite male-female figure of the Hindu god Shiva together with his consort Parvati; Atargatis\, Syrian mother goddess of fertility and the moon; Cleopatra\, Egyptian ruler famed for her influence on Roman politics; Queen Elizabeth I\, England’s second female monarch when the country asserted itself as a major power in politics\, commerce and the arts in the 16th century; Gabriel\, angel in the Abrahamic religions believed by many to be able to take on any physical form; Helen of Troy\, Greek beauty seen as the cause of the Trojan war; Joan of Arc\, sainted heroine of France\, revered as a holy person for her faithfulness and bravery in battle\, burned at the stake by the church; Judith The Slayer\, courageous biblical widow who used her charm to save her people from an Assyrian general; Lady Godiva\, bold noblewoman from the Medieval period who fought for justice for everyday people; Our Lady of Guadalupe\, Mesoamerican Catholic title of Mary\, who appeared to the Indigenous man Juan Diego and imprinted herself on his cloak as proof of her visitation; Mary Magdalene\, ‘Magdalene’ means tower\, as she is an early tower of the Christian faith\, cited in the four canonical gospels as a follower and companion of Jesus Christ\, a witness to his crucifixion and resurrection; The Virgin Mary\, a young Jewish virgin from Nazareth\, chosen by God to conceive Jesus through the Holy Spirit; La Madonna\, Italian for ‘Lady\, Virgin Mary’\, central figure of Christianity\, celebrated as the ‘Virgin Queen’ in processions of Semana Santa\, throughout Spain and Latin America; Hua Mulan\, famed warrior of Chinese folklore who disguised herself as a man to fight in battle; Sacagawea\, Shoshone interpreter and guide of the expedition to discover routes through pre-colonial America\, journaled by Lewis and Clark; Queen of Sheba\, Ethiopian queen\, known for her wit\, power and wealth\, her romance with King Solomon is documented in the Kebra Nagast. \nMartine Gutierrez (b. 1989 Berkeley\, CA) is a transdisciplinary artist\, performing\, writing\, composing and directing elaborate narrative scenes to subvert pop-cultural tropes in the exploration of identity—both personally and collectively intersectional to race\, gender\, class and nationality. Her amass of media—ranging from billboards to episodic films\, music videos and renowned magazine\, Indigenous Woman—produce the very conduits of advertising that sell the identities she disassembles. Challenging binaries through the blurring of their borders\, Gutierrez insists that gender\, like all things\, is entangled—and argues against the linear framework of oppositional thinking. These complicated intersections are innate to Gutierrez’s own multicultural upbringing. Her malleable\, ever-evolving self-image catalogs the confluence of seemingly disparate modes\, conveying limitless potential for reinvention and reinterpretation. \nGutierrez received her BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2012. She is also a published musician and has produced several commercial videos. Gutierrez lives and works in New York\, NY. \nHer work has been the focus of solo exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art (2022); Philbrook Museum of Art\, OK (2022); Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis\, MO (2022); Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College\, IL (2021); Rockwell Museum\, NY (2020); Australian Centre for Photography\, Australia (2020); Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth\, TX (2019); and CAM Raleigh\, NC (2016)\, among others. She has been included in group exhibitions at the Eretz Israel Museum\, Israel (2022); Vincent Price Art Museum\, CA (2022); Museum of Sex\, NY (2021); Colegio de San Ildefonso\, Mexico (2021); OÖ Kulturquartier\, Austria (2021); POLYGON Gallery\, Canada (2021); Huis Marseille Museum voor Fotografie\, The Netherlands (2021); Sprengel Museum\, Hannover\, Germany (2021); McNay Art Museum\, TX (2021); Minneapolis Institute of Art\, MN (2021); Wadsworth  Atheneum  Museum  of Art\, CT (2019); New Museum\, NY (2018); and Museum  of  Contemporary Art\, GA (2017)\, among others. Her work has been acquired by the Cantor Arts Center\, Stanford University\, CA; Huis Marseille Museum voor Fotografie\, The Netherlands; McNay Art Museum\, TX; Milwaukee Art Museum\, WI; Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth\, TX; Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego\, CA; Museum of Modern Art\, NY; New Britain Museum of American Art\, CT; Rockwell Museum\, NY; and the Whitney Museum of American Art\, NY\, among others.  \nAbout RYAN LEE\nCelebrating emerging and established artists and estates\, RYAN LEE takes a multi-generational approach to its programming\, presenting innovative and scholarly exhibitions across all spectrums of art practices\, including painting\, photography\, video\, sculpture\, and performance.

SUMMARY:Frieze New York 2023
DESCRIPTION:For Frieze New York 2023\, Michael Rosenfeld Gallery is pleased to present 1973\, a group exhibition featuring works created in the months leading up to and immediately following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision of January 22\, 1973 in the case of Roe v. Wade. Widely understood as a major victory for the second-wave feminist movement that was then at its peak\, the ruling was a watershed moment for the nation and many artists were commensurately inspired by the empowerment it granted. Fifty years hence\, the revocation of the rights conferred by Roe has revealed the disproportionate measure of power wielded by an unelected group of judges acting on behalf of the minority of Americans who oppose such freedoms. Coming into artistic maturity in an era of overt social and institutional sexism\, the artists exhibited in 1973 levied their cultural cachet and risked the future of their careers to resist the dominant social and political powers in a variety of ways. \nForegrounding themes of physical compromise\, convalescence\, and psychic resilience\, Booth D11 features an interdisciplinary selection of works by a diverse roster of artists including Magdalena Abakanowicz (1930–2017)\, Hannelore Baron (1926–1987)\, Mary Bauermeister (1934–2023)\, Lee Bontecou (1931–2022)\, Jay DeFeo (1929–1989)\, Barbara Chase-Riboud (b.1934)\, Claire Falkenstein (1908–1997)\, Nancy Grossman (b.1940)\, Louise Nevelson (1899–1988)\, Betye Saar (b.1926)\, Alma Thomas (1891–1987)\, and Claire Zeisler (1903–1991). Ranging from the intimately personal to the grandly universal\, 1973 conveys a tangible sense of the manifold materials\, processes\, and iconographies engaged by this revolutionary generation of artists. Though not all of the works in the presentation are overtly political\, an undercurrent of feminist thought\, and political struggle is evident in each artists’ oeuvre and the exhibition as a whole. \nHighlights of 1973 include a standout example from Grossman’s celebrated series of leather-covered head sculptures\, Black (1973–74). Despite their masculine features\, Grossman refers to these sculptures as self-portraits\, as they convey the rage she felt in witnessing the violence sparked by the political and social movements of late 1960s\, when she created the first works in the series. Works such as Black further embody Grossman’s conception of the relationship between the individual and society\, evoking themes of disenfranchisement and suppression. The deliberate confusion of attributes traditionally coded as masculine or feminine was a common technique among the second-generation feminists\, often employed to expose the socially constructed origins of such categorizations. Similarly\, Mary Bauermeister’s Durchwanderung (Nature) (1973–74) is a commentary on the gendered preconceptions that often require women artists to neutralize their femininity in order to be taken seriously in an art world dominated by men. Comprising a sprawling installation of wooden spheres\, pencils\, and one of Bauermeister’s famed lens boxes\, the work opens onto a multitude of implications pertaining to the nature of visual perception\, framing\, and traditional symbols of biological sex (i.e.\, eggs and phalluses). \nMagdalena Abakanowicz’s large-scale textile work\, Kolo I (Orchidee I) (1973)\, likewise addresses prevailing conceptions of gender which reduce the nuances of identity to anatomical attributes of sex. Simultaneously referencing the vulva\, a flower\, and the interior of a tree in which the artist sought safety and solace as a child in Nazi-occupied Poland\, Abakanowicz transforms an understated sisal tondo into a testament to human fragility\, resilience\, and a celebration of the complexities of the natural world. A prime example of Louise Nevelson’s iconic assemblage sculptures\, Untitled (c.1973)\, also elevates objects and themes traditionally relegated to the realm of the home. Here the artist—who eschewed the feminist label\, insisting that she was “an artist who happens to be a woman”—gathers a deliberate selection of common wooden household objects uniformly coated in her signature matte black within an architecturally enclosed structure. By repurposing castoff materials that\, once assembled\, address profound themes such as love and death through a domestic lens\, Nevelson’s sculpture bucks the machismo stereotype associated with the abstract expressionists—especially sculptors working on a large scale. \nFinally\, a selection of drawings by Barbara Chase-Riboud dating to 1973 demonstrate the polymath’s stunning draftsmanship; trained as an architect\, Chase-Riboud is also a poet\, novelist\, and sculptor who takes up distinct but intersecting subjects—often drawn from the history and literature—in each discipline she approaches. The drawings at Booth D11 are structured by the children’s game Hopscotch\, except in lieu of numbers and pebbles\, the artist illustrates large slabs of cut stone\, sinewy ropes\, and inscrutable texts\, alluding to the monuments and languages of ancient civilizations. Bestowing one work in the series with a print of her own lips—Hopscotch with a Kiss (1973)—Chase-Riboud presents an enigmatic group of compositions that speak to both the historical conditions of her personal identity\, corporeal presence\, and the universality of the human experience. \nCreated at a time of intense social and political upheaval\, the works on view in 1973 provide a snapshot of the era’s cultural ethos while taking on new valences of meaning in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision of last year. As the U.S. returns to an era of forced pregnancy and unsafe abortions on what should have been the fiftieth anniversary of the federal protection of reproductive rights\, it is our hope that this tragic loss of bodily autonomy will be met with commensurate opposition to the social and governmental powers who have brought about this result. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Hindsight: The Paintings of Roni Sherman Ramos
DESCRIPTION:May 9th – May 27th\,2023\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, May 11th\, 5 – 8 PM \nAtlantic Gallery is proud to announce the fifth solo show by Roni Sherman Ramos who has been exhibiting here over the course of eight years. \n\nIn these 51 small oil paintings a story is told about looking back in time. The title\, “Hindsight”\, refers to that fuller understanding of the sense of environment and state of mind when recalling a place or an event.Ramos’ paintings are not limited to a literal depiction of time and place; they are rather a mind’s eye view of having been there. \nOne painting\, “Barn”\, draws us to a pasture where a building simply sits\, a familiar scene. In another\, a warm beachy day evokes memories of Puerto Rico vacations. In contrast\, a number of Ramos’ images serve to provoke the imagination: abstract forms conjure serene\, dreamy days\, weightless colors float\, nighttime moodiness plays in opposition to images of vivid brightness. \nTo be sure\, take all the time you need to explore the many facets of “Hindsight”. \nIn the last two years\, I discovered a different perspective from working small. I became hyperaware of texture and materials\, adding marble dust and sand and thereby creating a rich\, nearly three- dimensional surface. \nIn contrast to larger scale work\, small panels make for quicker resolutions of compositional problems\, especially in the more immediate acts of taking away and building back – allowing traces of “history” to show through. Another kind of “hindsight”. These small works have both delighted and confounded me along the way. \n-Roni Sherman Ramos \n\n  \n  Save

SUMMARY:Dick Wray: Paintings
DESCRIPTION:Dick Wray: Paintings \nMay 6 through August 5\, 2023 \nPreview Reception and Panel Discussion: Thursday\, May 4\, 6:00 to 7:30 pm. \nOpening Reception: Saturday May 6\, 6:00 – 8:00 pm. \nDeborah Colton Gallery is pleased to present Dick Wray: Paintings. This vibrant and bold exhibition of paintings and mixed media collage paintings encompasses most of the gallery and is on view from May 4 to August 5\, 2023. A preview party and panel discussion\, including Catherine Anspon\, Pete Gershon\, Earl Weed and Deborah Colton\, will take place on Thursday\, May 4th from 6:00 to 7:30 pm. There will also be a public reception on Saturday\, May 6th from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. \nA native Houstonian born in 1933\, Dick Wray\, was an artist of incomparable talent and personality who played a critical role in the development of Houston’s contemporary art scene since the late 1950s. Often categorized as an Abstract Expressionist\, Wray is best known for his explosive and dynamic paintings that have received numerous accolades from Houston’s critical community as well as notable arts figures across the United States throughout his career. \nWray attended the University of Houston’s School of Architecture\, followed by being educated at the Kunstakademie Dusseldorf Arts Academy in Germany. Returning to Houston in 1959\, he began seriously working as an artist with zest and vigor.  Over the next fifty years\, he participated in a large number of important exhibitions nationally and internationally\, while locally Wray had his first solo exhibition at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston in 1975\, was included in the Fresh Paint: The Houston School at the Museum of Fine Arts in 1985 and many other prestigious exhibitions.  Wray was an instructor at the Glassell School of Art from 1968 until 1982 and also taught seminars in other art institutions throughout the years.  Wray was awarded the Ford Foundation Award in 1962\, received a prestigious Artist’s Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1978 and was named Texas Artist of the Year by the Art League of Houston in 2000.  His work is in major collections\, including the Albright Knox Museum in Buffalo\, National Gallery of Art in Washington\, D.C.\, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth\, the Houston Museum of Fine Arts\, the Contemporary Art Museum of Houston and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. \n“A dynamic and passionate artist who never followed the crowd and thought of himself as different from the more regional Texas artist\, Wray was greatly influenced by his time living and studying in Europe. Dick Wray has revealed his strength as a world-class artist through his bold\, well executed creations of forms\, rich colors\, textures and expression. It is our honor to show a sampling of this artist’s paintings and mixed media collage paintings to a national and international audience through this important exhibition”. Deborah M. Colton \nDeborah Colton Gallery is founded on being an innovative showcase for ongoing presentation and promotion of strong historical and visionary contemporary artists world-wide\, whose diverse practices include painting\, works on paper\, sculpture\, video\, photography\, performance\, conceptual future media and public space installations. \n  Save
