SUMMARY:Deborah Dancy: Wonder
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to announce Wonder\, an exhibition of new paintings by Deborah Dancy. This will be her third solo exhibition with the gallery and a reception will be held on May 21st from 6-8 PM. \n\nIn these new paintings by Deborah Dancy\, layers of poured paint accumulate through gravity\, and chance\, reflecting the tension between control and accident. The palettes are earthy\, muted and somehow resolve into vague landscapes. As always in Dancy’s paintings\,  passages of serene elegance collide with bold contrast\, creating unexpected tension.  As she says\, “These paintings continue my fascination with ephemerality and the sensorial. One significant and distinguishing feature in this current body of work is the absence of brushwork\, now replaced by layers of poured paint. Its elimination signals a shift in vision and embraces a process that encourages unpredictability and chance. Making these paintings became a performative dance in which play and accident are celebrated as something meaningful takes shape. The spirit of wonder is an offering of surprise and delight.” \n\n\nDeborah Dancy earned her BFA from Illinois Wesleyan University and a MFA and MS from Illinois State University. She is the recipient of the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship\, a Yaddo Fellow\, and a National Endowment of the Arts NEFA award.Her work is in numerous public and private collections including The Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston\, TX;  The High Museum\, Atlanta\, GA; The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art\, Kansas City\, MO; 21C Museum\, The Baltimore Museum\, MD;  The Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston\, MA; The Birmingham Museum of Art\, AL; The Hunter Museum\, Chattanooga\, TN; The Detroit Institute of Art\, MI; The Boston Museum of Fine Art\, MA; The Montgomery Museum of Art\, LA;  The Spencer Museum of Art\, Lawrence\, KS;  Vanderbilt University\, Nashville\, TN; Grinnell College\, IA; Oberlin College Museum of Art\, OH; and The United States Embassy in Harare\, Zimbabwe.

SUMMARY:Charles Ritchie: Drawings from a Room
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts in collaboration with BravinLee Programs is pleased to announce Drawings from a Room\, an exhibition of new works on paper by Charles Ritchie. This will be his first solo exhibition with the gallery and a reception will be held on May 21st\, 6-8pm. \n\nCharles Ritchie’s intimate watercolor and ink drawings are the result of sustained attention to his immediate surroundings: details of his neighbors’ homes and yards\, and vignettes of his lived-in rooms. For more than forty years\, his suburban Maryland neighborhood has been his muse\, though light remains his essential subject. \n\n\nMany of these drawings take shape over the course of many years. Ritchie explains\,”My inspirations come in a flash and I hope to convey that initial excitement. When I begin to work\, I am often dependent on the ephemeral: a slant of light\, a certain season\, a subject in a temporary state. When the state passes\, I often put the work aside until it reappears. However\, by the time the drawing is finished\, the site may be vastly different than when I started; trees have come down\, houses have new additions\, etc. The exhibited work is an abstracted accumulation of many different experiences and events.” \n\nRitchie’s drawings move beyond what a camera can offer. His respect for detail is patient and precise. The ordinariness of the everyday becomes suffused with tenderness. Vast amounts of information is contained in these small works\, and their intimate scale invites the viewer to look closely\, to explore the details of spaces familiar and transformed. It is Ritchie’s careful attention\, and then our own\, that transforms the ordinary into something of wonder. \n\nCharles Ritchie has exhibited his watercolor and ink drawings in public and private galleries throughout the United States and Asia.  His works are in such prestigious collections as the Baltimore Museum of Art\, The Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the Boston Public Library\, the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, the New York Public Library\, and the Yale University Art Gallery.  The work is in many private collections such as the Cartin Collection and the Louis-Dreyfus Collection. https://vimeo.com/1004168821

SUMMARY:Mary Didoardo: Short Story
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to announce an upcoming exhibition of new paintings by Mary Didoardo titled Short Story.  This is her third solo exhibition with the gallery. A reception for the artist will be held on May 21st from 6-8pm. \n\nMary Didoardo builds her oil paintings on panel in accumulated layers\, then excavates them. After several painted passages\, she covers the surface with packaging tape and carries a gestural\, looping\, and often continuous line across it. The line is not a single passage but is often wiped away and redrawn until the gesture “feels right.” Only then is it cut\, slowly and deliberately\, as she follows that path with an X-Acto knife\, lifting the tape and removing the line from the surface.  The resulting channel is painted\, the surface covered again\, and the process repeated. When all of the tape is finally removed\, flakes of paint lift with it\, revealing earlier colors sealed beneath and exposing the full history of the painting. As the artist notes\, “ This process integrates and embeds the line and keeps it from being simply a design element. It draws the space. The many stages are visible and are there for the viewer to read. Consistent in most of these paintings is the underlying evidence of previous stages of “failed paintings” rising to the surface through layers built up\, scraped down\, enriching the final version.”In the resulting compositions\, fields of bold color are activated by generous\, looping lines that hover between control and release. The lines read as instinctive\, but are in fact adjusted\, erased\, and painstakingly cut into place. The work meanders at the edge of chaos\, then settles into balance. That tension between intuition and labor\, gesture and incision\, is held in the physical presence of the surface. \n\nMary Didoardo lives and works in Long Island City. She received her BFA in Art Education from Pratt Institute where she studied Sculpture and Painting. Her work has been exhibited extensively in New York\, including at the Strohl Art Gallery at Chautauqua Institution\, White Columns\, the C.G Jung Foundation\, and the Painting Center. She is a recipient of the Enrico Donati Foundation Grant and a resident at the Millay Colony.

SUMMARY:D. Jack Solomon
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to announce an upcoming exhibition of paintings by D. Jack Solomon titled  ALL IN GOOD TIME.  This is his first solo exhibition with the gallery and a reception will be held on May 21st from 6-8pm. \nSolomon’s newest paintings are complex\, richly colored geometric abstractions with a debt to Kandinsky and the Bauhaus. His traditional constructive sensibility is infused with personality and wit. Lines and circles create rhythm and movement\, while arbitrary geometric forms such as checkered spheres\, striped ovals\, and architectural fragments  float in and out of the canvas\, creating visual depth without illusionistic space. Many of these forms seem to develop personalities\, conversing across the canvas in a geometric language all their own. \nD. Jack Solomon has shown at numerous galleries nationally and internationally including Rolf Nelson Gallery\, LA; Jefferson Place Gallery\, Washington DC; James Yu Gallery\, NYC; Pam Adler Galleries\, NYC; and at Gallerie Taksu\, KL\, Malaysia. He has also exhibited widely in the Upstate New York and Berkshire regions including at John Davis Gallery\, Hudson NY; AD-D Gallery\, Hudson NY; and Carrie Haddad Gallery\, Hudson\, NY; ThompsonGiroux\, Chatham\, NY; Carrie Chen Gallery\, Great Barrington\, MA; The Albany Center Galleries\, Albany\, NY; 68 Prince Street\, Kingston NY; and Lockwood Gallery\, Kingston NY. Solomon is the recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts Individual Artist grant and the Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant for painting. He received his MA in painting from San Francisco State University. At 92 years of age Solomon is working in the studio most days. He resides in Hudson NY with his wife\, painter\, Jeanette Fintz.
