Foundry Gallery Show

WINDOWS AND PAPER, by KATHRYN WILEY:  Show dates:  May 4-29 2011.  Gallery hours are Wednesday - Friday, 1 to 7 pm, Saturday and Sunday, 12 to 6 pm.  The opening reception is Friday, May 6, 6-8 pm; the artist's talk is Saturday, May 21, 2-3 pm. 


The May 4-29 2011 solo show at the Foundry Gallery is "Windows and Paper," recent paintings and collages by Kathryn Wiley.   In this third solo show at the Foundry, Wiley presents her latest work in the expanded and developed abstract form, as well as collages and representational landscapes.  Largely a continuation of the work in her November 2009 show, the paintings feature squares and rectangles occupying the entire picture plane, forming a contained, contemplative space with less movement than before, and more meditation.   Some of the paintings resemble weavings, evoking the delicate balance of relationships with friends and family interwoven and coexisting, echoed in the subtleties of similar colors and the absence of extreme lights and darks.
 
The landscape paintings show the Santa Catalina Mountains outside Tucson, Arizona, and the collages range from almost representational through abstraction to surrealism.  

The Gallery hours are Wednesday - Friday, 1 to 7 pm, Saturday and Sunday, 12 to 6 pm.  The opening reception is Friday, May 6, 6-8 pm; the artist's talk is Saturday, May 21, 2-3 pm.
