DONNA ROSENTHAL
New York-based artist Donna Rosenthal explores "the effects of traditional and societal influences on the lives of women." Rosenthal adds, "I use text, repetition, and the cultural symbolism of clothing to expose the struggles between the internal and external self." The artist employs traditional craft materials: vintage papers, books, magazines, linens, buttons, and dress patterns. These materials are deconstructed, then transformed and embellished with embroidery, beading, and gluing. As the final addition, text ties together content and materials, resulting in sculptures that are humorous yet provocative.


AND ALSO
Dear friends:

Come celebrate the return of warm weather with a little art this coming Friday at a reception for my second annual TOAST show.

The Tribeca Open Artist Studio Tour (TOAST) is in its 13th year and is a great way to see artists at work in their environment. This year, over 70 artists are opening their studios, with local galleries and restaurants opening their doors as well.

Here are the details for my reception:
Friday April 24
From 6 to 8 pm
Location: VinoVino wine bar @ 211 West Broadway (between Franklin and White Street) - right at the Franklin Street stop on the 1 (red) train.

Stop by for some art (see attachments for a preview), wine and yummy food.

If you can't make it Friday evening, the show runs Saturday and Sunday as well, from 1 to 6 pm. I will have maps of all exhibitors and have included a pdf version here as well.

Weather forecast Friday and this weekend calls for 70's, 80's and lots of sun - perfect for a little art and wine!

meet the artist Liam Roberts

By -
Liam Roberts’ fertile imagination transmutes images into abstract-like compositions of strik- ing energy and brushwork. He says that he is not a maker of pictures, but a maker of paintings, and that the viewer completes the work, not simply by looking but by the labour of seeing. Shakespeare, as usual, says it best: “Let every eye negotiate for itself . . .” Roberts’ mediums are acrylic, gouache, collage and ink. This show comprises recent and earlier works. Liam has exhibited in New York, London, Paris, Palm Springs, Geneva and Nicosia. He is represented in Dublin by Peppercanister Gallery.   www.liamroberts.com  /  roberts l@copper.ne
