The artists are excited to ring in the New Year and share some of their newest work with you! Here is a small sampling of some of the work you will find:
The unique square vases by Pixie Couch are made by stamping and pressing clay within small cardboard boxes. They are wonderful vessels for the safekeeping of those special cherished treasures.
“Seashells” are the continuing theme of Susan Wolf, she is exhibiting a couple of wall pieces that are elongated snail shells of smooth unglazed sculpture clay, one red and one green—“More or less!” Wolf states. For the Mainly Clay show in February Wolf is hoping to have some small butterfly wall plaques of porcelain along with some small cup sets, stoneware jars with painted birds and “perhaps” teapots.
Doris Fischer-Colbrie’s circular ceramic vases explore different surface treatments and use heavily textured glazes. These easy-to-use, dramatic vases have an earthy, raw feel that will enhance any living space. Colbrie exclaims about the Mainly Clay show in February, “I am excited about the new angular vases made from a very coarse clay that I’ll be presenting.”
Having recently found lost poetry written by her mother and grandfather, Belinda Chlouber has monoprints inspired by her grandfather, Arthur Carlos Sweet. “Youth: Love and Loss” utilizes images evoked from the poetry and intertwines bits and pieces of text throughout the work. The work is haunting yet beautiful in its portrayal of youthful love. Also exhibited is a piece inspired by a short story that Chlouber’s mother, Carla Chlouber, wrote, “Woman Not Born Beautiful.” Chlouber states, “In my new work, I want to reach back into the past and create what I call ‘generational art.’ In going through my mother’s papers I realized that I am far more connected as an artist to my ancestors than I had previously thought—that life and art continue across generations.”
This is just a sampling of what to expect with many other new pieces by the galleries artists so come enjoy an evening viewing art celebrating the New Year at The Main Gallery’s reception on Saturday, January 14th from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
