Go Figure!: A Group Show of Nine Figurative Artists
Carter Burden Gallery presents Go Figure! a group exhibition featuring the figurative work of ten artists. The pieces consist of installation, painting, drawing, and sculpture. Artists include Earlene Hardie Cox, Barbara Herzfeld, Bernice Kramer, Lindsay, Isaac Paris, Sheila Schwid, Regina Silvers, Susan Sinek, Syma, and Danny Turitz.
Magic Lady, an interactive installation by Syma has had many iterations over the last forty years; Revisited again now, this fortune teller self-portrait, reflecting and originating in the artist鈥檚 past, might offer a glimpse into the future. Using the park as her muse, Lindsay, who considers herself a folk expressionist, presents paintings of the people she observes there. She visits the park and draws the people who sit, sleep, eat lunch, discuss, contemplate, and read, then returns to the studio to paint them. In an effort to be more environmentally aware, and having a desire to do something creative and useful with discarded materials, Isaac Paris has combined his love for collecting African masks with creating masks mainly from plastic containers and other recycled materials. Most recently specializing in creating masks that resemble familiar animal forms, and possible extinct ones, Paris presents two pieces entitled Long Ears. In her first exhibition with the gallery, Susan Sinik present two large drawings from her The Leg series. She says, 鈥淭he essence of my work is creating expression with the use of line and black passages. I work on paper using charcoal, Chinese ink, graphite and acrylic to create beautiful sensitive lines with bold solid passages.鈥�
