"Promethean Images: The human figure in fired glass-on-metal" Exhibition
Figureworks
This event has ended.
Each of the twelve artists bring to this exhibit their own unique method for executing fused glass on metal. Diverse works range from Ruth Altman, who incorporates vivid enameling into her stained glass panels, to Maritza Morillas, who enamels personalized images onto utilitarian objects. This is seen in her piece pictured above entitled Señora Mia (Our Lady). Morillas has enameled an iron jar and encased it in a hand painted acrylic and gilded shrine. Unusual large scale enamels include works by Howard Eisman and Alejandro Flores Horta, who has created two free standing sculptures measuring well over two feet high. Balancing the exhibit are many intimate pedestal and wall works such as those created by Stell Shevis, who just celebrated a 70 year retrospect of her work in Camden, Maine.
As enameling lends itself to color and light, this exhibition is perfectly positioned to welcome spring into New York City. This exhibit is curated by noted enameler, Howard Eisman.
