Duane Reed Gallery: Friday, 18 March 2011
EVA ISAKSEN
March 11th through April 23rd
Opening Reception
Friday, March 18th from 5-8 p.m
Gallery hours: Tuesday through Saturday 10-5pm.
Isaksen’s work has always been inspired by nature: organic forms, cycles, seasons, land, water, sky, order, rhythm, repetition, growth, life, regeneration. “For some time now, I have been using papers as the primary material in my work. The thin papers, which I print on, draw on, cut up, mix, are layered endlessly on the canvas. No “found” papers are used. I print them all, using yarns, fabric, seeds, pressed plants and other organic material. My work is an exploration of complex color schemes and contrasts. I seek ways to bring my work to new levels of my personal interpretation of nature. My work is about color, line, material, form, space and about art as a process that always changes and grows. Where to stop? How far to push? How little? How much? Color is intense. It overpowers me. After working with it for weeks on end, I step back, peel the color away. What is underneath? Something new. Somewhere to grow from again.”
Duane Reed Gallery presents the latest work of artist Therman Statom. Therman Statom is an American Studio Glass artist whose primary medium is sheet glass. Since he appeared at Pilchuck in 1971, he has been known as an innovator. Throughout his career, he has pushed the boundaries of his medium, challenging us to look at glass in new and interesting ways. Statom’s primary medium is sheet glass. He cuts, paints and assembles the glass, adding found objects along the way, to create compelling sculptures. His artistic vocabulary includes simple but powerfully charged forms: houses, ladders, chairs.
