"Network" Exhibition
Westbeth Gallery
This event has ended.
when i moved to westbeth artists’ housing in 2009, i discovered a new community of friends and creative mentors. It was a reawakening of something that i sorely missed from my college/graduate school years – a group of people (not always agreeing!) working together and separately toward a common goal of self-expression. it’s a tremendous privilege to have this opportunity again.
NETWORK reunites my respected artistic colleagues, and provides an opportunity to share with my new neighbors some of my inspirations. each exhibitor has something special that i admire and think about when
making my art.
emily steinberg embodies boldness and passion. when i get timid in my work, i’m reminded of her daring colors and compositions, and her advice to me to feel the “pulse” of each piece.
annette cords creates masterful textures. she takes me from participant to viewer, and shows me the importance of considering an audience’s response to art, and how to elicit the response i want.
paul fabozzi creates a stunning visual representation of navigation in playful geometric patterns and illuminates an analytic approach to imagemaking. our mutual history in textile painting overalaps in our
processes.
daniel heyman combines a free and expressive personal style with social commentary, highlighting the importance of subject matter. he provides a voice and an art to people outside the traditional art realm with
compassion and skill, always pushing boundaries.
bill hudders is a true painter, diligently working and distilling pure, honest and humble visions from nature. his emotional and analytical reduction of composition continues to impress me.
daniel walth inspires me to experiment with different mediums and explore subject matter as an evolving series. his craft, prolific work ethic and fanciful midwestern perspective are both clever and beautiful.
roger braimon explores personalized patterns and colors through watercolor and collage, and plays with ideas of imperfection and precision, random and contrived, real and imagined.
