High Contrast: A Fellowship Show
This exhibition features the work of Studio Gallery’s Fellowship Artists: Julie Koehler and Nicole Ida Fossi. Fossi’s oil paintings explore the effects of pose and body language, highlighting differences with contrasting color. Koehler’s photograms combine familiar and unfamiliar forms to create intricate images with a sense of mystery. Together, the work represents contrasts of medium, color, size, and subject, while being unified by a sense of exploration.

The Space in Between
By starting with inorganic, man-made materials, I can imagine their potential to be reshaped and repurposed into dynamic forms. I use a combination of various objects that are common and familiar within a given space to create new arrangements transformed from static to transitional. Using identifiable objects creates a constant interaction between the separate pieces of the work and the final work itself.

Helicon. Acrylic on canvas. 2017

Helicon
Helicon: river, mountain and home to the Muses. Seamus Heaney’s poem inspired this series of abstract paintings made of poured, gestural layers of color and transparent washes on canvas.
Now, to pry into roots, to finger slime,
To stare, big-eyed Narcissus, into some spring
Is beneath all adult dignity. I rhyme
To see myself, to set the darkness echoing.

Jennifer Duncan & Joy Every
Natural Interpretations
In their first exhibit as new members of Studio Gallery, both Jennifer Duncan and Joy Every have selected work that features investigations into the way the artists see and absorb nature, whether as small as a plant, a bit of design in ice or as large as a sea or mountain scape. Their interpretations of these landscapes through use of color, size distortion, composition and exploration of materials showcases their unique visions of the nature at hand.
In her current mixed-media work, Joy starts each piece with a photographic snapshot, allowing her to play with the concepts of time and memory until the resulting mixed media imagery emerges as an idealized or metaphorical version of the landscape and its elements.
Jennifer uses a variety of water-media in an intuitive process to create color drenched explorations of the landscape and local flora and fauna. The resulting piece reflects both the forms of the natural world and the emotion elicited by her existence within it.
