NewsExhibition: Home Sweetat Frosch & Co Gallery, NY
FROSCH&CO is pleased to present Home Sweet, a group exhibition featuring artists Leslie Kerby, Julia Kuhl, Heather Morgan, Patricia Satterlee, and Jeanne Verdoux. Home Sweet explores the symbiosis between our interiorities and the spaces we call home as nexus points of human belonging, complicating the private/public line that has traditionally demarcated the frontiers of spaces of femininity and fostered division rather than community. Bringing together drawing, painting, and ceramics by all women artists, this group exhibition addresses domesticity by transforming the private sphere into a public forum for emotional and creative exchange. Featured artists include Leslie Kerby, whose interior scenes reinterpret her friends’ photographs of places in their homes in which they take solace. Kerby’s series translates these “happy places” into watercolor, acrylic, and mixed media collage drawings on semi-translucent vellum, opening new possibilities for exchange within separation. Responding to interior themes in a much larger format is artist Jeanne Verdoux; her ceramics and drawings on mattress paper explore the female form as a vessel for interior life experiences through domestic materials. In her recent Enough PIE for Everyone! Series, Patricia Satterlee works with the common everyday fabric cotton. Her square paintings depicting in slices divided circular shapes evoke symbols of plentitude as antidotes to human division. Inspired by interplays of Buddhist iconography, her ruminations on abundance combat the rhetorics of scarcity that fuel the frenzy of fear that has overtaken American political discourse. Meanwhile, Munich based Julia Kuhl’s Domestic Textile Series employs the language of women’s craft arts to question the essentialized roles women are expected to perform in both traditional and contemporary societal contexts. Finally, Heather Morgan’s still life paintings provoke the gaze of the onlooker, making palpable the intimacy and vulnerability of the domestic sphere. Our homes reflect the richness of our innermost realities, yet they are also fortresses where we retreat from outside. Home is where we are truly alone, yet it is also full of loved ones, both past and present, and the memories that shape who we are as people.Home Sweet explores the permeability of the four walls separating inner and outer, private and public, and personal and collective experience. On view December 9, 2021 – January 16, 2022 ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. Exhibition: Up-Cycling DetritusCurated by Vernita Nemec
I’m excited to be part of this online exhibition presented by @sculptors.alliance. “In these times, our environment is in danger more than ever and we must do all we can to save it from further destruction. The evidence suggests that early art was created by artist/shamans who protected the hunt and blessed the harvest. The power of art continues to exist in our contemporary time, a world of machines and cybernetics, and this power continues to be available for us to implement it. Creating from the discarded materials as an alternative, however, is crucial — and the most responsible decision, to extend the use of materials and reduce the abuse of materials that require the destruction of the environment.” Virtual Exhibition: April 15, 2021 – May 30, 2021 ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. Drawing the Cover of New York Magazine : Reasons We’ve Loved New York
I illustrated New York Magazine’s 16th annual “Reasons to Love New York” issue, a tribute to all the places that have closed this year since the pandemic began. “The cover features illustrations from French visual artist Jeanne Verdoux, who has lived in New York City for 20 years. “It is shocking to see places I went to are disappearing. To me they ARE New York,” says Verdoux. Many of the businesses captured in her drawings are places Verdoux herself is mourning. Places like B Bar, Century 21, Carroll Gardens Diner, and Jeffrey New York, among others. Using an ink brush, Verdoux captured 38 businesses in one week for the purposes of this cover. “I went inside a drawing tunnel with my ink brush and became a drawing machine,” she says of her process. “The drawings are a gestural expression of what I see. Very spontaneous. Little to no edits to the first impression.” December 2020 …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. ‘Going Green’ with SaveArtSpace
