Judi Harvest

Paul Sharpe Contemporary Art, New York

Luna Piena. The title refers to the artist's lifelong fascination with the universe and the opportunity for physical and metaphysical travel that it represents. The works integrate a wide variety of materials. Paintings on linen, architectural blue prints fuse with paint, resin, diamond dust, and three-dimensional objects in Murano glass resulting in tactile surfaces evoking the galaxy.


comunicato stampa

Luna Piena

PSCA is pleased to present "Luna Piena", an exhibition of new works by New York artist Judi Harvest. The exhibit will be on view November 29 through December 24, 2005, with a reception for the artist on Thursday, December 1 from 6 to 9 PM.

The title, "Full Moon" in Italian, refers to the artist's lifelong fascination with the universe and the opportunity for physical and metaphysical travel that it represents. As a child, her imaginary playmate was a fanciful Martian-like friend named Moonik. The awe she saw in the moon and stars as a child has stayed with the artist and is made manifest in this exhibition.

"Judi Harvest belongs to that category of artist who is impelled to break the boundaries of separating the arts by working in a variety of media. All of her works are inspired directly by her own experiences. Like Picasso, she transforms her autobiography into a rich iconography." As noted by Barbara Rose in her essay "Judi In The Sky With Diamonds."

The works integrate a wide variety of materials. Architectural blue prints (from her outdoor sculpture installations in Italy) fuse with paint, resin, diamond dust, and Venetian glass resulting in tactile surfaces evoking the galaxy. The exhibit will feature paintings on linen, mixed media on paper and linen, and three-dimensional objects in Murano glass.

According to Harvest, "Both science and art have the power to transport us to totally different worlds, where the imagination may travel through space and time. I intend this work to reveal the magic of cosmic imagery, as well as to act as a warning of man's responsibility to the universe of which we are part."

The artist lives in New York City and works in New York and Venice, Italy.

In conjunction with the exhibition of Harvest's works, PSCA will showcase a selection of paintings by Robinson Murray in the viewing room, courtesy Nancy Morgan and the estate of Robinson Murray.

PSCA is founded on the premise that the artist comes first and is the raison d'etre of the art world. The role of the gallerist is to nurture creative accomplishment and to cultivate the collectors and curators who can sustain the artists. The artists represented are those whose work one would wish to collect and to enjoy, while helping to support their careers. PSCA is led by Paul Sharpe and had its first public exhibition in January 2001.
