Bronze & Seven Printmakers
SUSAN OPIE BRONZE
Susan Opie’s bronzes are a delight of totally unexpected themes: a Chair Giving Birth, Exquisite Corps with interchangeable Body Parts, Pies with Barking Dogs, Bug Pie and a Crocodile Pie just to name a few. “As a sculptor I am a modeler. Wax, epoxy and clay are all malleable substances that I can manipulate and coax into the shapes I want. Modeling in warm wax is the first step in the lost wax casting process that produced both the sculptures and the jewelry pendants. The pendants are mini wearable sculptures. Whatever the medium, each piece is one-of-a-kind.”

IN THE FEATURE AREA...
Philip Stork - Pastel & Mixed Media
“Over the past three years, my art has emphasized abstract landscapes and color fields, captured in pastel, combined with colored pencil and ink. Pastels afford me the ability to create subtle color fields without the constraints of rendering identifiable figures and shapes. The addition of linear elements to the image provides a scaffold and a counterpoint for these elements. My need to continuously challenge myself as an artist. In this show I want to emphasize how colors define space. Using abstract landscapes as a theme, I am interested in the interplay between the colors and the lines, often letting the colors interact to create new colors and ultimately chords of color that work to create a new expression of space.”
