Michael Armstrong, Shan Chao and Andrea Wittenberg
Bamboo Lane is pleased to present work by Michael Armstrong, Shan Chao,
and Andrea Wittenberg. In the exhibition, the artists utilize spatial and
color fields in different ways, creating abstracted moments and uncertain
landscapes, and recovering time space lost and abandoned.
Michael Armstrong’s heavily impasto work is at once ordered and sensory
laden, and appear to be landscapes to some intergalactic terrain. They
are emotive maps to his history, and abound with pressure and reference
points.
Shan Chao’s trigram work is based on the I Ching symbology of the Earth.
She delves into notions of war and its imminence in our times, and has
connected them to her own physiology by using her physical body as her
basic paintbrush. The body is placed symbolizing the intentional random
folding down and unfolding of life
Color in Andrea Wittenberg's paintings collide and join in order to reveal
her true subject; the expressiveness of a moment frozen in time, the human
figure and abstract forms are made tangible by the dialogue with her
materials.
Reception: June 30, 7:00 – 10:00 pm
