NYAB Event - "Convergence" Exhibition

"Convergence" Exhibition

Site&Images Chelsea

This event has ended.

Convergence takes us on a wide-ranging experience. It goes from photographs and artworks celebrating the beautiful shapes of the human body, people in urban landscapes seen through the eyes of an evocative painter, intriguing pieces from an innovative sculptor, to colorful and abstract paintings from two artists who carry us outside the material world. With Convergence, PaulaBarr chelsea offers a representation of artistic variety delightfully fitting together in a group show.
Eric Killen was born in Brooklyn in 1967. From a very young age he has had a creative spark. He loved drawing and imagining different colors and shapes, even textures. His mind was always off on some new adventure. Those were the beginning steps towards becoming an artist. Eric explores various themes such as Spirituality, Love between Kindred Spirits, Sensuality and Strength in the Male and Female Nude. Each rendering has its own identity, making its creation a unique experience. He seeks to inspire others through art, and to create something that will influence the next generation. Eric chose not to label his work. He likes to be able to go against the norms that have been imposed on artist. He lets the viewers see for themselves and the connection be formed that way. www.ESK67Studios.com

Limor Nesher was born in Israel 1975. She studied Fashion design and arts at Witzo France, and then at Shenkar College. She expanded her horizons through some multimedia courses and printmaking. She is also an accomplished musician (composer, singer and key board player). Her artistic vision is to create out of spirituality, knowing and seeing. While she turns her imagination loose, she wanders between Earth and other worlds. She seeks expression through colors stories and music. Her work has been exhibited in many venues and galleries, most recently at Ceres Gallery, Chelsea NY in October 2009 and The World Cultural Gallery in New York in June 2008. www.limorsart.com
Elizabeth Rabinovici was born in Brooklyn in 1984. She graduated with a B.F.A from the School of Visual Arts in 2008. She currently has a studio in Bush Wick. She will be attending graduate school at Pratt in fall 2010. Elizabeth creates sculptures, paintings, installations and other artistic wonders. At 17, she created a fictional comic book based on a personalized event. It was a significant piece of work for her, the beginning of some of her art concept - merging the real and unreal and the fusion of the banal with the fantastic. She is influenced by this concept through both literature and art and creates pieces that are contemporary and relevant while both strange and familiar.

Marina Reiter holds a BA and MA from Moscow State University. She completed her artistic education at the Corcoran College of Art and Design, Washington, DC and the Torpedo Factory Art Center. Her work has been most recently published in "Contemporary Women Artists" - a publication of the European Communities Artists Library, and exhibited in numerous galleries, among which the Agora Gallery, Art for Healing, and Aeon Logic Art Gallery in New York. In 2009, the DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities purchased her piece "Anarmia" for their permanent art collection. Her art is about the interconnectedness of things, our complex interactions and relationships, six degrees of separation, and celebration of everything that unites us and pulls us apart. The joyful colorful creatures that she paints are very much the "learning, playful souls" that Richard Bach wrote about. www.marinareiter.com

Chris Walsh holds a double major in theater and history from the University of California. He specialized in lighting, the consumption of lice by Allied POW's, and stage design. His fascination with fire and high-speed collisions eventually led him to New York. Prior to his move to New York, much of Chris' painting reflected the realism his classically trained grandmother, Marie, had imparted to him. His experiments against this realism first consisted of the taping off of forms, creating a style reminiscent of Art Deco. Later, the influence of Jackson Pollock's drop technique would evolve into Chris' own throw technique as he searched for new ways to contact the walls and ceilings he increasingly substituted for canvases. Even his signature during this period reads Marie, in homage to his 91 years old grandmother. It is this dichotomy between respecting the traditions of his own genesis and continuing to struggle against them that creates the tension present in his paintings. In spite of this tension Chris continually finds a way to reconcile these apparently opposing forces. www.studio312.carbonmade.com
