Open on October 11th at The Artists Gallery (TAG), is an exhibition featuring the original works of five visual artists with five compelling narratives – united by their shared interest in the beauty of imperfection and vulnerability, the unpredictable but exciting nature
of process, and the joy of making things.
Join us at TAG Gallery to celebrate the closing of this show.
Arts Featured:
Rhonda Burton’s botanical collages and monoprints, inspired by the aesthetic of Wabi-Sabi, play with the soft, organic and graceful edges of leaves paired with the geometric and hard edges of materials like plastic, collaged – constructed and deconstructed elements – marrying her visual languages as both a photographer and a mixed media artist.
Liliana D’Ambrosio’s paintings do not necessarily have a concluded character but rather are a consistent state of change. She explores the abstract language of the character of painting in relation to the language of music.
Karen Fiorito’s prints reflect a shift in her creative practice – a movement towards play over perfection. She is moved by the notion of beauty in decay and imperfection, celebrated by the traditions of Wabi-sabi, Karen has employed simplistic modes of printmaking and cyanotype process as a meditation on and celebration of the unpredictable.
Emil Rutenberg’s sculpture is human in spirit – a language that feels classical and contemporary all at once. His figurative work depicts subjects that are nuanced in expression, organic in form, contemplative and vital, vulnerable and strong.
Gina’s Leon-Gutierrez’s painting is a blend of abstraction and expressionism. “Connecting the Dots” a series of 100 interconnected pieces, is a contemplation on both connection and memory- the delicate little fibers that bridge together, people, places and things.
