Figureworks is pleased to present new paintings by Michael Massen and Jacquelyn Schiffman.

Michael Massen exhibited his bronze sculptures at Figureworks in 2002. Recently completing his MFA in Painting at the New York Academy of Art, he is now showcasing his latest oils on canvas entitled "Quiet Paintings". With this formal training and established sculptural sensibility, each canvas presents a draped figure in an isolated state reflective of his three-dimensional works. Within each piece, richly layered grounds showcase his mastery of this medium.

Jacquelyn Schiffman has completed a new series of wall hangings and free-floating encaustic figures on spun-web polyester, the notable translucent industrial fabric she showcased in her former exhibition at Figureworks in 2003. These compositions grew out of this series as they had begun to reach beyond their two-dimensional format. The images are based on portions of this previous work, reassembled into a combination of painting and wall relief sculpture. These fanciful images are reminiscent of cartoon characters, costumed dancers and stage performers of the 1920's.
