Ileen Kaplan and Mary Ann Bowman

 

 

“Color Stories,” at State of the Art Gallery during January, is a two-person show of oil paintings by Ileen Kaplan and sculpture by Mary Ann Bowman. The title of the show is a distillation of the qualities that connect their work–color, light and space.  In talking about their work, the artists say they are both are interested in stimulating the imaginations of viewers.  “Our work has evoked questions such as ‘What is going to happen next?’ or ‘What is the story behind that?’ We realized,” they continue, “that we want viewers to be drawn into the work and to create their own stories”—thus, the title “Color Stories.”

 Kaplan paints on canvas and wood panels and Bowman’s “creatures and ladies” are made from fabric, wood and wire.  “Color Stories” opens January 3 and runs through Jan. 27, 2013.  A reception for the artists will be held at the gallery Friday, Jan. 4 from 5-8pm with a wine tasting hosted by Thirsty Owl Wine Company.  State of the Art is located at 120 W. State Street in Ithaca.  The gallery is ADA accessible with curbside parking.  Hours:  Wed. – Fri., 12-6pm and Sat. & Sun., 12-5pm.  Contact information:  607-277-1626www.soag.org // <http://www.soag.org>   and for more information about the artists:  http://ileenkaplan.com/ <http://ileenkaplan.com/> andhttp://www.maryannbowman.com

Art Trail Show

The State of the Art Gallery features artists of the Greater Ithaca Art Trail October 3-28, 2012.  This is a great chance to preview the Art Trail artists’ work in one place before choosing which studios to visit.  Seeing the actual work often has a greater impact than just viewing it on a computer screen and every year many people do their “Art Trail research” at the gallery.  Art Trail open studio weekends are October 6/7 and 13/14.  In the Salon we have the monthly members’ show of paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, collage, sculpture and more! You can find all the artists at www.arttrail.com. 

A reception for all participating artists will be held Friday, Oct. 5, 5-8pm with a wine tasting hosted by Sheldrake Point Winery.

Complements/Harmonies

 

 

Yvonne Piburn will show new paintings in an exhibition called “Complements/Harmonies” at State of the Art Gallery during August.  She states:  “ The content of the paintings began to emerge as a response to a color search. I found that memories of joy, awe and contentment had connections to colors from past experiences. Each painting evolved and became an independent idea but remnants of the original color inspirations remain. ” 
 
A reception for the artist will be held Friday, August 3 from 5-8pm.  Gallery hours are Wed. – Fri., 12-6pm and Sat. & Sun., 12-5pm.  Show dates are August 1-September 2, 2012.  The gallery is located at 120 W. State Street and it is ADA accessible with curbside parking.  Information:  607-277-1626, www.soag.org and www.yvonnepiburn.com

Timelines

I have chosen a radical new direction for my current work. My previously muscular, vigorously chromatic, and heavily layered paintings have evolved in the direction of the spare, the muted, and the geometric. Using unprimed canvas and linen into which the paint soaks, as well as floats above, I am taking a new measured and mathematical approach in which the neutral palette complements natural linen; the intentional shapes and less intentional color masses speak to decisively black lines. Juxtaposing the large with the small, line with color, square with circle, intuitive with cerebral, I strive to construct a new world of inventive and playful, but always purposeful, content.
