"Vital Signs" Exhibition
Bronx Art Space
This event has ended.
BronxArtSpace is pleased to announce Vital Signs, featuring the work of six artists who communicate delicate, sensuous, or bold generative imagery.
Matthew Burcaw:
Matthew Burcaw creates organic environments from both his urban and natural surroundings. His delicate line renders tiny tendrils, couching surprising urban vignettes in the organic webs in miniscule sketchbooks or expansive drawing space.
Barbara Korman:
Barbara Korman sculptures/ installations constructed from organic materials layered with color emerge from walls and floor.
Juanita Lanzo:
Juanita Lanzo’s sensuous large-scale drawings combine references to the human body and vegetation creating subjective spaces that allude to life, decay, sexual reproduction and growth.
Alexis Mendoza:
Alexis Mendoza makes paintings that derive from the Cuban utopian Black Painting philosophy. Black is not the predominant color but rather an idea that refers to the colors’ use in the Afro-Cuban practices and rituals.
Luis Stephenberg:
Luis Stephenberg examines cultural dislocation and rebirth through his multimedia installations of monumental images stemming from the 1957 agrarian/industrial revolution. Through these outsized metaphoric pods he grapples with the exodus and the culture in a distant urban setting.
Tammy Wofsey:
Tammy Wofsey fuses the patchwork of her sketchbook observations of trees and wildlife into astonishing-scale linoleum prints, where veins vessels, and bronchi merge into a singular, symbiotic relationship. "The flesh, blood,bark, sap, and leaves of this oasis talk to my paper."
Linda Cunningham, curator:
Linda Cunningham is an actively exhibiting artist who co-founded BronxArtSpace with Mitsuharu Hadeishi. Both Cunningham and Mitsu Hadeishi have been curating events since organizing the 1st Open Artist Studio Tour in the South Bronx in 2005. This project presents high quality visibility for under-represented artists and themes.
