Sunday Selection-Tamar Zinn

Tamar Zinn "Fermata 5", 2011  10 x 10" . oil on wood panel

Tamar Zinn "Broadway 65", 2011 16 x 16" . oil on wood panel

I really love the subtle and bold use of color in Tamar Zinn's paintings. The use of sharp edges in contrast of the soft layering is quite beautiful. The transparencies throughout Tamar's work is really lovely. I am so drawn to the push and pull achieved. Please visit Tamar's website to view more of her paintings.
Have a wonderful Sunday!

These encaustic mixed media works of Nancy Natale are quite amazing. I wish I could see her show in Boston right now. Check out Joanne Mattera's review of her show at Arden Gallery that runs until July 30. Nancy creates such rich complex surfaces that are impressive. Please check out her lovely website where she has great close up detail shots of her pieces. Nancy also writes an informative blog  Art in the Studio.
Enjoy!

Sunday Selection-Patricia Spergel

Patricia Spergel "Window Seat" 30x30 2008 oil on canvas

 Patricia Spergel's paintings have such a fluid ease to them. I love the softness and overlay of color that is achieved. The depth and openness is really beautiful.  They are on a smaller scale which I like,  but I would love to see these really large taking over a wall.  They have a fun playful quality that I am drawn to.  Please visit Patricia's website to see more of her lovely work.

Gary Petersen "Slip"
2010

 I really admire the work of Gary Petersen. The use of line and the space created is very interesting.   The color usage is so strong and thoughtful. I am very drawn to the above piece  "Slip". I like the fact that drawing is a force in the work that is layered subtlety throughout the pieces.

Memory as Medicine is the most comprehensive exhibition of art by Atlanta-based artist Radcliffe Bailey to date. It includes many new works and others never before presented publicly. The exhibition highlights underlining themes in Bailey's work represented by his signature layering of imagery, culturally resonant materials, and text.

Exhibit  runs June 26 - September 11, 2011

 Radcliffe Bailey explores American history and memory to encourage healing and transcendence through art. The exhibition features 37 works ranging from heroic to intimate scale, including installations, paintings, sculptures, mixed media, photos on metal, and works on paper.
