WORKS ON PAPER
March 2 – 31, 2012
Artist Reception, Saturday, March 3, 5 – 7 p.m.
First Friday, March 2, 6 – 8:30 pm
LGTripp Gallery is pleased to present “WORKS on PAPER”, a group exhibition uniting artists represented by the gallery. Eleven artists employ theirs skills, individualistic use of materials and process to tailor their personal expressions on paper. Using pencil, ink, paint, collage and printmaking, the works presented in this exhibition are stylistically and thematically diverse, offering a plethora of visual conversations. Also included are metal sculptures by Stephen Blackburn.
SEONGLAN KIM BOYCE
Using simple geometric balance, Boyce translates a pendulum of harmonic atmosphere on to paper with the relationship of shape and color to create a feeling of immediacy and weightless time.
PAUL FABOZZI
With swarming geometric elements, lines and color, Fabozzi continues to explore modes of translating data into visual signs that ultimately are rhythmic expressions of movement and energy experienced in the urban environment.
FUENTES FERRIN
Eleven years after transitioning from Cuba, Ferrin continues to delight and surprise with unexpected juxtapositions of imaginative imagery. Drawing from the world of fantasy, the characters that Ferrin shares with us embody the whimsical nature of love and its foibles.
DAVID FOSS
Through collage, Foss attempts a weighted atmosphere from the inside of security envelopes. On their own, minuscule patterns seem relatively insignificant. Strategically placed, the compositions become mosaic-like geometric abstractions.
REBECCA JACOBY
Within the confines of a white piece of paper, Jacoby carves out the image little by little with her mark making and collage to create new continents. Her obsessive circle making creates unchartered worlds and endless discovery.
JON MANTEAU
Manteau explores the question of why man must leave a mark behind when he is gone. Swept up in the crashing motions of mark making, an image full of subtle movements, along with jarring and gestural marks, evokes absolution.
MICHELLE MARCUSE
Marcuse creates a historical roadmap to the magical world that she had dreamt as a child. Made on darkened silver leaf and using mono-chromaticity, a timeless atmosphere shrouded in a veil of darkness is transformed and molded through her perception.
CATHERINE O’CONNELL
Based on an empty space in her neighborhood, O’Connell searches her memories of childhood and parallels what this “empty” space had once held. By constructing, deconstructing and reconstructing worlds and taking cues from literature, uncertain and invented spaces eventually emerge.
MIRIAM SINGER
With an obsessive nature, Singer collides cityscapes to create a densely overpopulated scene. These intuitive drawings are inspired and based on her ventures through South Philly.
DONNA USHER
Usher involves the viewer by creating a subtle place of meditation and reflection through circles found in nature. Inspiration is derived from her studies in Australia of Aboriginal dot art and mark making.
PLAMEN VELTCHEV
In his graphic approach to permeate discord and unrest, Veltchev ruminates on the relationship of freedom and a greater force exerting its power over it. He works within the confines of a structured chaos.
In addition to the Works on Paper exhibit, we are also proud to show new sculpture from STEPHEN BLACKBURN.
From an early age, Blackburn has fabricated sculptures with aesthetically pleasing motivations. He welds geometric shapes of found objects and steel to create an extension of balanced composition and capricious amusement.
