April 2008
We’re back from Artexpo New York! We had a blast at the show this year. Many thanks to everyone who made it. You can view pictures of the event here.
Now Featuring The Frostig Collection!
We’re happy to be showing works by Frank Gehry, R. Kenton Nelson, Robert Graham, and many others from the Frostig Collection.
The Frostig Collection is an ongoing series of sculptures and works on paper created by well-known artists to benefit children with learning disabilities. All sales fund the newly implemented social skills program at the renowned Frostig Center.
You can view the collection at the gallery and at www.thefrostigcollection.org
Michelle Lance: Encaustic and Gouache Paintings
We are very excited to be debuting a series of encaustic and gouache paintings by Roark’s wife, Michelle Lance. Michelle’s inspiration for this abstract contemporary series was taken from a combination of Hebrew lettering, and the simplistic beauty of our universe.
Encaustic is an ancient painting technique that involves the heating and addition of pigments to beeswax. The result is a beautifully textured and aromatic surface. Believe me, these works smell as amazing as they look. These paintings are a multi-sensory experience so be sure to check them out in person at the gallery.
Take a sneek peak here.
