Gesture

July 1 – August 27, 2010, 2010
Reception for the artists: Thursday, July 1, 5:30-7:30pm

Opening at Brian Gross Fine Art on July 1, 2010, Gesture is a group exhibition exploring various uses of gesture in abstract painting—ranging from spontaneous and expressive, to meditative and ritualistic. Featured artists include Donald Feasél, Robin McDonnell, Ed Moses, Robert Sagerman, Nellie King Solomon, and Amy Trachtenberg.

Whether they are utilizing negative space to investigate the expressive qualities of line, or employing color and mark-making in a more organic, painterly style, the artists featured in Gesture attest to the continued relevance of gestural abstraction in contemporary painting.

New poems by Sarah Suzor!

Poems from Sarah Suzor’s The Principle Agent.

Of all the things to lie about:

It was never my intention to make it this far.
Not that I mentioned the Thames that day,
                                                        that last day.

Not that I purposely lost touch.

I’ve taken all my items to numerous locations,
but it’s never been a question of what was left undone.

*

Violets, blue violets.

The way one walks downhill first.

She said, I have never been here before.

She had.
