GARY PAUL STUTLER: "VISCERA BOTANICA" Current Painting Series
Croton in Winter 2009 Oil on Linen 42 x 54 in.
The Phoenix Gallery proudly presents "VISCERA BOTANICA," Gary Paul Stutler's current series of ecologically-reflective paintings of botanical subjects in oil and other media.
Intrigued by the way abstract images can arise from the patterns and textures in natural plant structures, Mr. Stutler has produced a group of paintings that communicate the hypnotic, meditative qualities of these patterns. Focusing on their visual center, the series rejects dry, clinically traditional representations, in favor of an expression of the plant's visceral core. Blatantly human devices occasionally interrupt the dominance of the series' botanical forms.
A graduate of UC Davis' MFA program, Stutler currently teaches at Napa Valley College , near his home in Northern California . His work has been shown throughout the United States and internationally. This will be Stutler's first solo exhibition in New York City.
Patricia Ingersoll: "Meridian"
Autumn Mixed Media on Paper
Tish Ingersoll's work at once merges organic and geometric elements, revealing the complexities of the human condition. Through explorations of natural subjects including water, dense woods, vines, and plants, she works to deconstruct the picture plane, to break it apart. The result is a sequence of grids, composed of overlapping lines, gestured brushstrokes, and bold color, which work together to reconstruct the picture plane as a series of equal, individual parts. Working an underlying structure, she subtracts and adds to the grid with spontaneous marks. This process of mapping and diagramming reads symbolically, suggesting expressions of the barriers from, or bridges to, relationships. Memories of place, personal and collective, are intertwined.
Please join us on June 3rd, from 6-8 PM to meet the Artist.
