Now through Friday, Oct 1
Susan Provost Dubois
Mahnaz Ettehadieh
Jack Simonetta
Susan Provost Dubois – Tiles and Printmaking
Susan Provost Dubois' dominant artistic pattern is to focus on the richness of human emotions.
Living things and their interaction with the universe are the inspiration for her vivid tiles and expressive sculptures. Unity and balance are essential elements in her designs. Each work provides the artist with an opportunity to push the limits of her artistic expression with new techniques.
“The Raku process is a gift with unique and individual surprises each time I create a new work with this technique,” she explains. “It’s like giving birth – one cannot predict the outcome and no two are alike.”
Mahnaz Ettehadieh – Painting
Being born and raised in Iran has had a tremendous impact upon the art of Mahnaz Ettehadieh. Her life there resurfaces as memories in her art.
Because of her history and artistic temperament, she is deeply affected by her emotions. Her paintings provide a means to express these feelings and allows her to gain a greater sense of inner peace.
“My images tend to reflect isolated figures in the process of bonding,” she says. “The layering of oils symbolically reflects emotions that feel current with my present state of unrest.”
Jack Simonetta – Collage
Jack Simonetta’s collages are about shape, color and texture. The shapes become symbols – circle equals moon, square equals repose or perhaps shelter. The color palette adds to the expression he seeks to convey. Textures, whether from a crumpled scrap of paper or a piece of bark, add a slight three-dimensional impression.
Different edges on papers and other materials are used to create variety. “Combining various materials enlivens the creative process for me and makes it more thought-provoking for the viewer,” he explains. “I sometimes try to ‘trick’ the viewer into thinking one material is another – paint becomes paper for example.”
Each piece develops with the artist’s mood, sometimes changing over the course of its completion. This process can take quite a long time – deciding what material to use, where it should be placed, what kind of edge to create. “Like all of my art, the collages are a means to process the feelings that have built up within me. I strive to craft a balanced composition that resolves these feelings and creates a soothing appearance.”
Wine and hors d'oeurves will be served. There is no admission charge and free parking is available behind the gallery.
Show will hang until Sept 3.
