Don Bracken continues his exploration of natural materials in his new work Central to this exhibition will be a 12 panel installation Bracken recently completed that focuses on the the use of earth and dry pigments. The imagery emerges from the material in an apparent random fashion but upon closer examination delicate, controlled patterns appear that weave together multiple complex formations. Also included are heavily textured paintings depicting ice flow fragments that are reminiscent of Monet’s historic Water Lily paintings along with Bracken;s paintings that expore his ongoing interest in the disappearing farmlands.
In the installation space are the acrylic paintings of Bob Knox.. His New York series shows landmark New York cityscapes but from a personal perspective. These works capture New York in motion and energized. The man-made landscape and environs continues to fascinate Knox as he reconstructs these iconic images through reflection and altered realities.
