Four Seasons and other paintings
Kravets/Wehby Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new
paintings by Wendell Gladstone opening on February 8 with a reception
for the artist from 6-8pm and running through March 15, 2003.
Wendell Gladstone's Seasons paintings begin where his previous body of
work left off. The first in the series is Winter (Trapped Under Thin
Ice) which depicts a dead deer frozen in a lake who begins to
regenerate, causing its entrails to grow and break through the ice and
weave their way up the frozen wintery trees into a web that draws out
three geometric crystals. This woven web foreshadows the colored
crystals the three dogs, the new dominant characters, wear around their
necks. The deer's entrails then fall down to the ground and the
'frozen' dogs eat and digest them. The narrative continues through the
seasons where the dogs change color systematically as winter thaws into
spring, spring into summer and summer into fall and unveils a
complicated fantastical world.
Opening reception: Saturday, February 8, 6-8pm
Gallery hours: Tues. - Sat., 11am-6pm
