Bright Young Things: Re-Introducing David Goslin
By The Washington Post, November 5, 2009

David Goslin
Re-Introducing David Goslin
November 3-30
Opening reception: Friday, November 6, 6:00-8:30 PM

The raft of exhibits last year dedicated to the great Washington Color School of painting, re-energized local artist David Goslin’s passion for color in all of its simplicity and splendor. The retro appeal of bright vertical bars and horizontal bands of color—gloriously un-peopled, minimally decorated—is made contemporary through subtle modifications. David Goslin first exhibited hard-edge abstraction in DC in 1982. His reintroduction to the Washington art scene provides new evidence for the vitality of our city’s greatest artistic school.

 

New Work by Judith Judy
October 2-31, 2009
Opening reception: Friday, October 2, 6:00-8:30 PM

Master landscapist Judith Judy uses glaze after glaze of color to create imagined landscapes of great beauty. As the director of Lithuania’s National Art Museum has said about her work, “Judith Judy makes luminous paintings in the great tradition of American mystical landscapes."

 

Kaleidoscopic Visions by Stephanie York

In September, Gallery A features two painters with widely different approaches to abstraction. Inge Strack is a German-American painter, based in Richmond, Va whose stirring works are composed of wide, angular planes of bold color. Textured passages are increasingly prominent. Many of her recent, golden pieces were inspired by travel in Africa, including tracking wildebeests and the Serengeti. 

Stephanie York produces fantastical landscapes of bubbles and tubes in bright bold hues. The patterned chaos of these compositions is balanced by her meticulous attention to line. Stephanie is a photographer by training, who has rediscovered the satisfying intensity of painting as a way to cope with the challenges of Army life; Stephanie’s husband is a young soldier, recently stationed at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, DC.
