Earthly Considerations
August 31 – November 2, 2010

Lilianne Milgrom's small ceramic sculptures are self-contained little worlds whose narratives borrow from ancient and modern sources. Her unique sculpted works are imaginative fantasies, imbued with pathos, humor and above all, humanity.

Cherie Redlinger states; “An emotional and instinctual impulse drives me along in search of new forms of expression”. This resulted in a hybrid art, giving depth to the human form. Using a fluid line to express action of a single moment in time, she has the freedom, to convey the sensation of an experience.

Personal Albums from a Photographer's point of view
November 2, 2010 – January 4, 2011 

Lloyd Wolf is a Jewish documentary photojournalist/artist who is currently assembling his large body of photographic images into bound books.

"April Fools" is a book collection of collages created annually since 1974, portraying eclectic themes of humor, renewal, celebration, change, and whimsy, incorporating objects, symbols, and elements of Jewish life.

"Student Body" reflect images selected from a book of Polaroid SX-70 photographs of high school students in the 1970's, depicting their styles, body language, the aesthetic concerns of the artist, and other quietly revealed mysteries.

Connected
February 22 – May 3, 2011

Lisa Brotman & Erica Leigh Orgen

Two artists connected by more than their art. As mother and daughter they share an abundance of talent and creativity. Both artists are figurative painters, whose subject matter provokes psychological investigation, sharing an attraction to bold color yet each style is distinctive.

Lisa Montag Brotman engages the viewer by demonstrating common concerns in her paintings with her series on the female figure and the use of invented “ambiguous space, vividly colored environments create visual and psychological tension suggesting places that tease reality into universal “mindsapes”.

Erica Leigh Orgen paints and embellishes objects. Her paintings examine human emotion through gesture, color, and composition capturing a moment of expression with the viewer interacting and interpreting her images of the stages of life. 

A Colorful Life
