Bonnie Collura and Stan Narten Exhibition
Kravets/Wehby Gallery
This event has ended.
The Kravets/Wehby Gallery presents a two-person exhibition of Bonnie Collura and Stan Narten.
Sculptor Bonnie Collura and painter Stan Narten toy with the distinction between figuration and abstraction. Both Collura and Narten strongly reference film as a starting point, yet the results yield a physical presence unique to the style and media each works in.
Bonnie Collura constructs grand sculpture with meticulous whirls of limbs and movement. The surfaces are obsessively worked to a luxurious range of smooth and textured finish. Taken in from afar, the work is a jumble of energetic abstraction. Figures take form, yet an elusive quality pervades. Stan Narten precisely manipulates stills from television and film yielding carefully ordered abstractions. Narten often adds additional dimensions or layers that break the picture plane by creating subtle visual anomalies.
