Contemporary Basketry - Redefining Sculpture
January 8 - January 31, 2009
Pacini Lubel Gallery is proud to participate in a region wide celebration of fiber arts by national and international artists. The month long event, January 8th through January 31st, will highlight the many approaches and interpretations of the vast array of materials use in sculpting the basket.
Our exhibit, Contemporary Basketry: Redefining Sculpture, will incorporate classically utilized materials like reeds and wood, as well as, a boldly creative use of unexpected materials like exotic bird feathers and utilitarian items like tape measure tape colored pencil tips.
Many artists in our exhibition will also be included in the exhibition at the Bellevue Art Museum titled Intertwine. This collection represents a small segment of the basketry assembled by Sara and David Lieberman, and beautifully highlights the vast diversity of expression in this field. Artists in our exhibition include Dona Anderson, Lanny Bergner, Danielle Bodine, Ruth Borgenicht, Jill Nordfors-Clark, Charissa Brock, Marilyn Moore, Leon Niehues, Lissa Hunter, Jim Kraft, C A Michel, Jennifer Maestre and Karyl Sisson.
Also Featuring:
Meg Holgate's second solo show at Pacini Lubel continues through January 17th. Meg translates the Northwest's beautiful surroundings. Water, topographical splendor, and multiple states of light comingle with her transcendent ethereal approach to painting. Northwest scenes are depicted in a manner that generates an emotional relationship between the viewer and the painting. Evening sunsets elicit a peaceful emotional state while a close-up of Water Lilly's evokes a communion with nature. Color is critical to the success of Meg Holgate's paintings as she carefully and minimally shades the paintings with hints of orange, fuchsia, blue's and green in a manner that highlight's the tenderness of the moment.
Meg writes that "my paintings are drawn from the incredible beauty of the Northwest". These contemplative works are the ethereal translations of my surroundings. I seek to capture the emotional essence of my subject matter rather than a physical interpretation. My landscapes are simple meditations on nature. With muted colors, diffused light and soft focus I wish to draw the viewer into my painting for his or her own journey. My work through its quiet strength suggests distant memories, timeless places and a glimpse of promise.
Please join us for the opening of our Basketry Exhibition on Thursday, January 8th from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
