This event has ended.

The exhibition ON PAPER personifies the thinking of Joyce Ellen Weinstein. Regardless of style, media and/or subject, drawing is fundamental. For her it is the most direct and intimate connection between artist and subject. Weinstein believes that drawing in pen and ink (croquil pen and India ink) is the most direct of the direct connections because it is indelible, uncorrectable and uncensorable. Graphite and charcoal flow, creating movement rhythm and intensity. And finally, etching in all its formats is the most logical complex extension of drawing.Taking it all into consideration, she finds inspiration in the personal and emotional aspect of the human condition: i.e. people. Her works don’t sentimentalize but speak of the human measure and the human condition and ask the question “who am I and where am I going?”
