Three exhibitions

Denise Bibro Fine Art, New York

AUDREY USHENKO
Recent Paintings
Audrey Ushenko’s new work continues her exploration of narrative realism. While her optically complex compositions are drawn from life, her vibrating surfaces have no difficulty succeeding on their own merit.

Ushenko’s new work is both more personal and expressive than her past allegories and mythological scenes. Her nervous, pulsating painterly language contrasts dramatically with her familiar and objective image sources. The result is a painting style with multiple personalities: representational and abstract, calm and anxious, precise and gestural. They record the sensitive spatial interplay between individuals inhabiting unique interiors that shudder, vibrate, swell, and splinter.

ERICA LICEA-KANE
New Mixed Media Work

Erica Licea-Kane’s paintings are intricately patterned and often subdivided into a geometric patchwork of related motifs. They are composed of hand-woven cloth, sewn together and layered in paint which is sometimes cyringed along her grid-based arrangements.

Her work process is labor-intensive and manual, working in a tradition of post-minimalist artists such as Eva Hess and Jackie Winsor - the end result handsomely depicts the meditative qualities of repetition and the challenges of mixed media.

Ms. Licea-Kane’s works have a sense of tension and play between geometric and organic. Traditional motifs such as flags and quilts, as well as landscapes and aerial view configurations supply the formal vocabulary for her work. Her art is tactile and dimensional, however retains the delicacy and visual allure of textiles. These works are carefully constructed and are perfectly suitable for any setting whether it be corporate or private.

LISA DINHOFER
Into the Light and More: drawings & works on paper

Lisa Dinhofer’s unique, beautifully rendered works challenge the mundane in still life and push it to a new level. Objects are no longer contained in a static environment; they are free to move. Intricately detailed, minutely rendered, these pictures encounter the explosion of first awakening. They repel and run from the center and the center constantly pulling them back. Like planets controlled by an unseen force they strain from their restrictions and break the boundaries.

Lisa Dinhofer’s works are simultaneously, direct, intimate, and exploring. The hand of the artist is always completely visible. Each work can be and often is an auditioned for a grand play of a new painting. The concept always stands on its own, even if only on paper. Dinhofer excels both as an accomplished draughtsman and a provocative poet.

There will be a reception for the artists on Thursday, November 4, 2004 6-8pm
