MICHAEL
MAHNKE: PAINTINGS
September 10 – October 10
Opening Reception:
Thursday, September 10, 6-8pm
Painting for Michael Mahnke is an exercise in the exploration of the unknown.
He chooses to express in his works a kind of energy that places subtle
elegance next to dynamic contrasts, weaving and contexturing lines and
contours of shapes as unbroken sequences in time, or as uninterrupted
expanses of space.
For
Mahnke, painting is a medium that allows for intimacy. Shapes dissolve
then resurface, exposing a skeletal structure that constitutes liquid
and at times stone. Boundaries engage and energize one another, harmoniously
suspending moments of past and present. Each work is an act of illumination
for the artist, validating his vulnerability.
SONJA
BLOM: REFLECTIONS
September 10 – October 10
Opening Reception:
Thursday, September 10, 6-8pm
Sonja Blom’s recent photographs are “reflections” in
two senses of the word. In the first sense illustrated by her photos
of New York. They are reflections of buildings which show dramatic
new angles and perspectives on the urban environment. In other works,
shot in both black and white and color, Blom reflects her travels
and her unique experience of the world in all its diversity.
