PETER WIEHL
Deep Space
Graphite and Carbon paintings

October 9 - November 8, 2003.

Denise Bibro Fine Art, 529 West 20th Street, Chelsea, NYC, is pleased to announce
Peter Wiehl's solo exhibition, Deep Space, October 9 - November 8, 2003 in Space IV.

Wiehl's recent work is a new departure and journey from his earlier bold, spontaneous bronze/glasswork, yet they share the same aesthetic and a keen interest in the mystery of the constant transformation of natural phenomena.

For the past few years Wiehl has been exploring a new material to make fine art: crushed graphite. Ironically, after working in a glass studio to create his earlier sculptures of bronze and glass, he became intrigued with the properties of graphite, which is used to mold materials during most glass manufacturing. Wiehl began a long process of finding all the industrial uses of graphite. He then experimented creating fine art from these materials, fusing crushed graphite to graphite board, to aluminum plate, and finally onto a painter's canvas of carbon fiber.

'Interstellar dust, light refracted, auroras, nebulas, coronas, gravitational fields, planets, comets, stars, and galaxies all; the eternal ephemeral mysteries to contemplate while working. The heat and dissolving and curing of space age materials, rendering an unseen vision into permanent reality. Space Age processes, materials, and vision.' PW

Peter Wiehl received a BA in Fine Arts from Colgate University. After relocating to California, he studied at UC San Diego with Allen Kaprow, Elanor Antin, Ree Morton, and Helen and Newton Harrison. Wiehl has exhibited sculpture at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and has exhibited through the United States, Australia, England and Italy. His work has been critically reviewed by Phyllis Braff in the New York Times, Peter Frank in the Los Angeles Reader, Alfred Frankenstein in the San Francisco Chronicle and William Wilson in the Los Angeles Times. In 1986, he moved his studio to Litchfield County, CT and built a bronze foundry where he continues to work today. Denise Bibro Fine Art has been the artist's primary dealer since 1994.

There will be a reception for the artist, Thursday October 9, from 6-8pm.

KYLE STAVER
Recent Works

October 9- November 8, 2003.

Denise Bibro Fine Art, 529 West 2oth Street, Chelsea, NYC, is pleased to announce our first solo exhibition of New York artist, Kyle Staver, 'Recent Works', October 9 - November 8, 2003. Her work is a unique addition to our group of gallery artists.

Staver is a figurative painter. Families, friends, and lovers are the raw materials of Staver's oeuvre. Her intimate work is imbued with lush color coupled with dynamic compositions and rigorous brushwork. Large areas of vibrant color energize these canvases. Her palette presents us with a unique and sensuous language, using luminous tones that speak of the particular places and moments she is investigating. Staver's subjects are tranquil but engaging, suggesting subtle tensions and intelligent discourse.

Ms. Staver received a Masters of Fine Art degree from Yale University College of Art. Staver has had numerous solo and group exhibitions most recently at Maurice Arlos Fine Art, New York, NY, The Bowery Gallery, New York, NY, and the Hacket- Freedman Gallery, San Francisco. Staver was also a winner of the Benjamin Altman Figure Prize of The National Academy Museum in 1996 and 1998. Ms. Staver has recently been nominated for a Tiffany 2003.
