Looking Forward
7th Anniversary Exhibition
November 10 – December 23, 2011
Opening Reception: Thursday, November 10,
6-8 pm
Foley
Gallery is pleased to announce our seventh
anniversary exhibition featuring seven different artists, most of whom will
be exhibiting at Foley Gallery for the first time. Although the core of Foley
Gallery continues to be photography, there is a growing emphasis on other
media. The 7th Anniversary
Exhibition is concerned with looking forward and exploring the ways in
which this diverse and dynamic group of artists translate, create and
understand our environment.
Yumiko Kayukawa’s acrylic and ink works
combine her immersion in traditional Japanese culture with her adoration of
American pop culture, two worlds that are inextricably linked in her work. Lauren Seiden’s ink and graphite
drawings create new, ethereal environments in which the composition is at once,
sturdy and delicate. Each and
every line and layer is intentional and seems absolutely necessary in order to
maintain the structure as a whole. The
ways in which our environment is constructed is also realized in Amy Casey’s paintings of houses
precariously stacked or strung together, as she questions the concept of what
it means to be secure in one’s world and find a solid foundation within a
community.
Combining
the mediums of painting and photography, Bradley
Castellanos is deeply invested in understanding the relationship between
people and the earth: the ways in which they connect with one another, depend
on one another and destroy one another. The way we see the world is also highly
influenced by film, which is an essential consideration in the art of former
cinematographer, David Trulli.
Working primarily in scratchboard, Trulli scratches glimpses of city life into
ink-coated clay surfaces on masonite with a mastery of perspective and
precision that is unparalleled. Dennis
McLeod’s abstract work explores fundamental ideas of simplicity, order, and
repetition, to create a sense of infinite space that exists much deeper than
the surface, expanding right off the edges of the paper. Zoe Zelby’s paintings are a translation of her personal response to
her encounters with different cultures and natural environments, into abstract
images of motion and kinetic energy.
The
exhibition will remain on view until December 23, 2011. Foley Gallery is open
Tuesday-Saturday 11AM – 6PM. For more information or to request images, please
