Unbound Art

I've been living near Cayuga Lake in the Fingerlakes Region of New York, since 1981. These are  drawings done in the early days of my stay here.  All done in graphite or charcoal and small in size. Kim

Stone Poem to Strange Encounters on the Shores of Cayuga Lake by Fernando Llosa I just found this assemblage of Fernando's when I was looking through the files for something else.  Wonderful elements and juxtaposition!  This was in a show at Corners Gallery a few years ago. As pieces sell it's easy to forget them, so finding this was a nice surprise.

In God's House Surrounded by the sun, moon and stars, the Earth and the ocean waves, the pillars of civilization and the remnants of all that has been, the human being sits within the womb of self and wonders whose house he is occupying in this unknowable universe.

Lost in Thought oil on layered paper with photograph Arthur Whitman curated the show Microcosm, which is now on display at CSMA  in Ithaca, NY. The following describes the show: The idea of the picture as microcosm or abstract landscape is one that has a rich history and a strong purchase within contemporary art. Consider Persian miniatures or the maps and fine art prints - particularly landscapes, cityscapes - of the Western tradition.  Think of the intimate and detailed modern art of Paul Klee: passageways that pull the viewer in, spaces that allude to the complexity of the real world without mimicking it.  The artwork as its own nature, its own world.

There Is No Separation The opening reception for Kim's show : Inside Itself , is on December 2, 5-8 pm. Gallery Night in Ithaca at The Cap ArtSpace, 171 The Commons The show will be run from Dec. 2-22. Come see the 8 new paintings that have been created in the last year.
