Duane Reed Gallery: Friday, 20 June

June 20th – July 26th, 2008
Opening Reception Friday, June 20th 5 – 8 pm

Matthew O’Shea: Figures
For over twenty years Matthew O’Shea has enjoyed a career as both an exhibiting fine artist and a commercial photographer. His latest body of work brings into question the notion of contemporary identity in our modern technological age.

John G. Garrett: Linked Lines
Over the past twenty-five years, John Garrett has worked simultaneously with two and
three-dimensional formats to create his textile forms with a variety of unusual and nontraditional materials. Visually unpredictable, apiece might be woven, wrapped, plaited,
riveted, painted, rusted, twined, nailed, stitched or tied. The materials used could be
nails, buttons, washers, corks, plastic flowers, painted aluminum, copper, cornhusks,
bed springs and even plastic curlers. Each work of art is a meticulously crafted,
energetic and complex structure. He moves gracefully from constructing wall pieces to
baskets, breathing new life into discarded objects.

The works will be on view through July 26th.
Gallery hours: Tuesday through Friday 10-5pm, Saturday 12-4pm.
