Kasimir Malevich's
signature work, the groundbreaking Black Square, was painted
one hundred years ago, in 1915. Although it would not have been
considered under the rubric of geometric abstraction at the time, it
clearly established, along with works of others such as Piet
Mondrian, a new direction in painting.
Two of the finest
artists working today within this historical construct will present
recent work in Structured, a two-person show at the Philip
Slein Gallery. Ann Pibal,and Todd
Chilton, are working opposite ends of the room. Pibal
is a hard-edge painter, like Mondrian, whose paintings consist
of color fields over which float thin lines and blocks of color, all
of which are painted with precision. Chilton's work, on the other
hand, is characterized by a much more loose formalism, as he builds
his pieces by thickly layering paint over hand-drawn patterns.

KATHARINE KUHARIC:
A MASQUE OF MERCY
In addition, the
gallery is pleased to present new work by an old favorite of ours. Katharine
Kuharic, who taught for years at Washington University, returns
to St. Louis and the Philip Slein Gallery. Kuharic, based in New York
and known for her realist style and social concerns, presents a small
exhibition of intricate and precious work entitled A Masque of
Mercy which speaks to the consolations of nature.
