Marbles Gallery: Friday, 15 May 2009
Marbles Gallery exhibits Natural Movement – paintings by Christine Warner, Naxin Fan, and Lynsey DeYoung through May 31. Also showing nature photography by Southeast Missouri native Corey Warner in the Patio View Gallery.
OPENING RECEPTION on Friday, May 15th from 6-9 p.m.
May 8, 2009 to May 31, 2009. Open Mondays 1-3 p.m.
Natural Movement uses the techniques of oil paint and photography to reflect issues of feminism, environmentalism and myth in today’s society. Christine Warner paints abstract representations of tree forms combined with textural qualities reminiscent of things found in nature. She adds yarn as an important symbol of women’s traditional role in society. As spinners women were the keepers of fairy tales, and shared them in order to pass the time in their labor. In homage to the many women who kept our stories alive since the dawn of civilization, Warner spins tales with her images using the same material that defines us as a society and a species.
Naxin Fan explores her passion for the true essence of natural beauty as seen through her eyes from many different angles and in many different forms: the first beam of sun light that comes through clouds; leaves dancing in the wind; animals and humans bounding into nature. Her work catches those sensitive moments with thick paint and rich colors directly from the tube to give a sense of primitive simplicity and purity. Each piece of her work cuts out a piece of nature and lets the viewer breathe it and become part of her magnificent imagination.
