“DIALOGUES” features figurative ceramic sculptures by Carrianne Hendrickson, New York; colorful abstract paintings by Marcie Paper, New York; elegant ceramic sculptures by Jeff Pender, North Carolina; and thoughtful figurative paintings by Christopher St. John, New Mexico.
Also showing a collaborative “DIALOGUES” project by Debra Blair, New Mexico, and Marti Bledsoe, Colorado, in the SHY RABBIT print studio gallery.
Whether abstract, figurative, or purely sculptural, the paintings and ceramics selected for inclusion in “DIALOGUES” contain a conversational element special to each piece. They were chosen for their ability to speak in unique ways to and with the viewer, sometimes subtly but often overtly.
These works suggest an exchange of ideas and opinions. They hint at a conversation held privately between the artwork and its maker. They announce the internal dialogue taking place between the figures in the paintings or on the ceramics. They have a narrative quality, obvious or hidden, that tells a story to be interpreted differently by each viewer interacting with the work. Abstract compositions contain a musical or lyrical element, suggestive of a conversation.
