Pennington, NJ - Veridian Gallery in Pennington, NJ announces its next exhibition
featuring the work of two outstanding area artists. The show entitled Drawn Through
Nature displays recent art created by Alice Sims-Gunzenhauser of Montgomery and
Susan MacQueen of Hopewell Township. It opens September 25th and continues
through October 30th, 2010
Alice Sims-Gunzenhauser’s recent work consists primarily of monoprints that explore
the boundary between representation and abstraction. Having worked with graphite for
years, she finds trace monoprinting particularly appropriate for this interest, especially
for working with line. The work ranges from observational contour drawings through
more complex images in which line defines a subject—such as scattered leaves on the
ground in autumn—but is also loosed from that responsibility to become a subject in its
own right.
Susan MacQueen has explored the image of sheep through a range of two and three
dimensional media. This body of work is a departure in that it brought her face to face
with the actual animal. Visiting local flocks, camera in hand, she gathered images of
sheep. The resulting drawings, however, are anything but photorealist. The surfaces
have been built up slowly through a variety of marks. In some drawings, the sheep are
almost life size.
Veridian Gallery follows in a long tradition of showcasing work of area artists and
providing a venue where that creativity is always available to the public. The Gallery is
located at 43 South Main Street in the former location of the Queenstown Gallery. Their
hours are 12 - 5:30 Tuesday – Friday and Saturday 12 – 4. For further information call
Jack or Dana Koeppel at 609-737-3838.
