Join us as we ring in the new year with featured artists Gordon Jameson, Ley Killeya, and guest furniture maker Pete Rodrigues.
Opening Reception January 10, 6-9 pm
An established abstract painter, Gordon relies on strong color and compositions of unique shapes. Much of his work’s narrative references western interpretations of Christian imagery, primarily the Annunciation and Enthroned Madonna. And so the figure emerges in Gordon’s paintings, shifting his works slightly away from complete abstraction.
Ley uses acrylic paint, ink, and gold metallic leaf to create her abstract figurative paintings. She focuses on the use of line and composition to represent parts of the body, adding unexpected dashes of color to break the surface and disturb expectations. Elements of gold leaf indicate the value we and others place on them. Her work helps us consider how our bodies, and the perceptions of them, confer power, limit rights, exercise control, and interrogate identity.
Pete crafts his fine furniture with a focus on both function and natural beauty. And within each piece of wood he sees similarities to human faults in the material’s cracks, twist, bows and rough cut edges. However, when worked by the master craftsman, the wood can be turned into something beautiful.
