The
June Kelly Gallery celebrates its 30th Anniversary with a group exhibition of drawings and photographs by gallery artists. It will open on Thursday, December 21, 2017 and continue through January 30, 2018.
To mark the 30 years, the gallery artists were invited to exhibit drawings and photographs embracing independent selections of a multiplicity of subject, style and process.
Drawing and Photography are expansive concepts. In this exhibition, interpretation of either medium is not limited to a traditional sense as the drawn line made with a pencil, pen, or charcoal on white paper as in
Stan Brodsky鈥檚 drawing, titled Rear View, 1968.
James Little speaks of his brilliantly colored vertical geometric bands, When Aaron Tied Ruth, 2008, executed in multiple layers of oil and wax on canvas as a drawing.
Rebecca Welz refers to her welded and twisted steel rods reflecting interconnectedness, Lace Barnacle, 2017 as a drawing and
Philemona Williamson says depicting the drawn line in her lithograph with graphite, Untitled, allows insight to her process of painting.
Ming Smith鈥檚 nostalgic narrative, Roxbury Interior, Boston, MA., 1978;
LeRoy Henderson鈥檚 portrait Carmen de Lavallade (Bedford Stuyvesant Festival, 1985);
Charles Martin, Flight, 2008 and
John Pinderhughes panoramic naturescape, Splashing Water/Montauk, 1997, reflect contemporary approaches with subject.
