Bruno David Gallery: 12 January 2--7

Bruno David Gallery would like to invite you to attend the opening reception for an exhibition by JENNA BAUER and in the project room CINDY TOWER. The opening reception is this Friday, January 12 from 6 to 9 pm. The exhibitions remain on view through February 3, 2007.

In her recent work, JENNA BAUER approaches what she describes as “the Loneliest Highway in America paired with the minimalist work pioneered by color theorists of the mid-twentieth century.” With her use of color, light, straight lines and right angles, she creates a landscape made of “a double pixilation of rolling thunder clouds, thriving poppies, cool soil, rolling hills, brilliant blue skies, and luminous rays of light.” Jenna Bauer’s work centers on themes of landscape, light, organic forms and gestures. Her approach on these themes has ranged from minimalist prints of translucent overlapping colors to frenetic, textural paintings. Her work continues to focus on the relationship between abstraction and realism, a relationship that she views as a thread that can be stretched very thin.

In the Project Room, New York artist, CINDY TOWER will present her recent paintings from her on-going “Workplace Series”. The series, based on paintings of abandoned warehouses and machinery, came about because of “the huge economic gap between classes I saw developing” and because “everything I love is disappearing all over the country.” She is committed to create paintings that “record gestures” and emotions left in these buildings.

The gallery is located at 3721 Washington Boulevard, in the heart of the Grand Center arts district, directly opposite The Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts, the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, and in close proximity to the Sheldon Art Galleries, The Fox Theatre, and Powell Symphony Hall. The gallery is open free to the public and the hours are 10 am to 5 pm Wednesday through Saturday, and by appointment. gallery@brunodavidgallery.com for
