The Marbles Gallery: Friday 9 February 2007

SJ HAMMACK - Energetic art suspended in a peaceful space

Color + Texture + Energy = a Plethora of Color Narratives Influenced by Current Events, Popular Culture & Abstract Expressionism

Please join us for the Artist's Reception at Marbles Gallery & Yoga Studio, 1905 Park Avenue at Lafayette Square on Friday February 9 from 6 to 9:30 p.m.

This collection of paintings incorporates years of experimentation investigating the narrative capabilities of non representational surfaces invigorated by raking, rubbing, gouging, and troweling thick and luscious oil paint onto the surface. By mixing colors on the canvas as opposed to the palette each swipe creates a unique combination of color and texture that never repeats.

The Fragile Girl Series focuses on realistic and abstract images that fuse glamour, humor and drama to create an eerie seduction for the viewer to experience the vulnerability of a seemingly composed girl.
