Aviva Green “Clouds, Canyons and Waterways”

Wilmer Jennings Gallery at Kenkeleba

This event has ended.

One of Green’s earliest and largest works, the “Double Ring Triptych,” will be a central feature of the exhibition as it demonstrates masterful virtuosity of brushy, expressionist strokes. Shifting away from the crescendo of the “Double Ring Triptych” to an almost all enveloping, pervasive solidity is another feature painting, “Styx and Stones Triptych,” where the blues are noticeably cool with subtle orange and sienna accents, and the surface is smooth and elegant.
