Duane Reed Gallery is pleased to
present the sculptural works of John Garrett. John Garrett was raised in
southern New Mexico, influenced by Native American arts and crafts. His
intrigue with the tools, systems and materials involved in weaving and
other textile constructions were nurtured and developed through courses
with Neda Al-Hilali and Marion Stewart. Garrett’s
work is an engrossing exploration in tactile intricacies through repetition
of form, while simultaneously providing the viewer with a myriad of
textures and colors to explore.

Duane Reed Gallery proudly presents the intricate oil
paintings of Nancy Newman Rice. Nancy
Newman Rice states about her work: “In
my paintings, the viewer observes but does not enter as the confusion of
space is meant for contemplation rather than adventure...My
influences...extend to architectural drawings, the girders of anticipated
buildings and especially scaffolding that fills those spaces. They are
skeletons and place holders which define spatial containment, and are
evidence of the sacred geometry that is the armature of empirical
experience.” Rice’s work is deeply experiential, utilizing overlaid images
that provide the viewer with a hypnotizing perspective; her paintings transcend
time as one is able to view progression from conception to finalization as
a singular moment.
