New York, NY: Resonance and Memory: The Essence of Landscape is a group exhibition organized byKatharine T. Carter & Associates, hosted by Elga Wimmer PCC, curated and managed by RobertCurcio of curcioprojects. Each of these artists, in his or her own unique way, commemorates theprofoundly mysterious, elusive, and imaginary qualities of landscape.
Kathleen Elliot’s (CA) flameworked glassworks arose from her great love of plants, their life cyclesand the beauty of all their parts – the spiritual connection she feels with nature in her own imaginedGarden of Eden. Sandra Gottlieb (NYC) shapes perception, time and place in her sensual oceanimages photographed at Rockaway Beach, Queens. In her sixth series, October Waves, she deals withthe pure essence of each wave; the dramaturgy of the wave; its strength and strum and drang. J.J.L’Heureux (CA) has provided us with an image of a tiny portion of the Ross Ice Shelf . . . the face wesee is 50-150 meters high and extends for 800 kilometers; in its entirety, it is the size of France.Overwhelming and awesome in its silent majesty, it remains fragile and ever changing.John Lyon Paul’s (NY) sculptural devices reference abstract, organic and geological forms, suggestingthe burden of human suffering and hope. True to their material origins, he creates a deep connectionto the fragile world that we inhabit. In Rebeca Calderón Pittman’s (OH) recombinant drawings,reality becomes transparent; places that are ordinarily distinct become part of a single, flowing imagespace; her delicate layered drawings are dominated by the emptiness that pervades them.
Gerry Tuten’s (PA) work investigates the relations between gestural abstraction, and her ongoinginterest in nature, often illuminating the site she is rendering. Of an ephemeral nature, her paintingsdescribe the intangible qualities of water and forest. Gail Watkins (MD) combines paint with organicsubstances (sand, stone, and glass), often mistaken for a geological sample; creating an intimacybetween the viewer and work that is at once primitive, spontaneous, and powerful. Martin Weinstein(NYC) creates paintings on 3-5 sheets of plexiglass layered together to form an image of illusionisticdepth; he interprets this special theatre by depicting the same scene multiple times, and by insertingdiscontinuous elements . . . a reminder of the tenuous nature of reality itself.
