WAVES and OBJECTS in SPACE

With the lazy days of August bringing our summer to the finish line we thought we'd take a pause to stare out at the waves and dream about the places we've been and the ones we'll go to next.

Rebecca Wolf and Lisa Kaiser, the two artists we have chosen to take us on this last summer's journey are long standing Gowanus and Park Slope residents.

Waves. the sound of waves on a shore. The circular motion. The strength of motion from soft water. Motion of light across a surface. Stillness within motion, motion within stillness. Color sliding into color. Art is the choices that are made in each moment, making a whole. Balance. Art is part of  life. Sometimes more sometimes less. Clay or drawing or painting or mixing it all up. Sometimes just looking, absorbing. It ebbs and flows. It is easy, it is hard. 

 
Rebecca Wolf, the artist behind WAVES describes herself as "an artist and a mother living in Gowanus and playing at Tai Chi." Her pieces have been seen in many individual and group shows throughout New York: in Catskill, Windham, Athens and Cooperstown; the Salamagundi Club, Tompkins Square Library, 80 Washington Square East Gallery and the Hudson Guild Gallery; her work has been sold at such places as: the G.K. Framing Group, Objects Of Bright Pride and the Whitney Museum Store Next Door.

Rebecca's work is for sale and she can be contacted through her email: Bexwolf@verizon.net


Lisa Kaiser,  the creator behind OBJECTS IN SPACE ponders "why we make marks on walls and attempt likenesses and pretend to trap time?"  Objects in Space are magical moments. They portray the mystery of the objects/subjects, the layered feelings that the artist feels. Her quest to make them into an image outside herself, to preserve her interpretation of an intangible reality. Trying to figure out pigment enough to portray light brings her closer to understanding the mystery and emotional power of color.

Lisa's work has been shown throughout New York, The Netherlands, France, Italy and Ohio. Lisa's paintings are for sale, please visit her website: http://www.lisakaiser.com/index.html

You can see WAVES and OBJECTS in SPACE in Root Hill through the middle of September.
