Sarah Stout at Gallery 10
Sarah Stout's exhibition "New Sculptures and Prints" at Gallery 10 closes December 1.
In the works in this show Stout explores the qualities of translucence in abstract sculptures and prints.
Laminated fabric shaped over a mould or in folded sheets is the material developed for the sculptures, both relief and free standing.
Silk screen prints are likewise composed of many layers of translucent ink. Lines and color between the layers appear to recede into the depths of the composition.
Sarah Stout is a Gallery 10 artist.

Anne Banks - Gallery 10 Artist
"Artemus"
"One of a series of iconic images of the goddess.
Artemis, with her roots in the earth, is the huntress and protector of the wild things of the forest. She is the archetypal symbol of freedom and independence.
My work in the various media of drawing, painting, sculpture and collage is inspired by forms in nature, memories, the remembered shapes and colors of landscape, including architecture and the connections between earth and sky.
Archetypal icons figure in the paintings. The collages are metaphors on a small scale for larger structures in the world."
Anne Bamks is also the author of "What is Design". You can find out more about her book and read her articles about art and design on her website.
Anne Banks is an artist and educator who received her B.A. from Wellesley College and M.F.A. from The George Washington University. She exhibits her work in the Washington, DC, area as well as nationally and abroad. She is professor emeritus at Northern Virginia Community College where she was instrumental in developing a course in the history of design.

Claiming Space at the Katzen Museum
There is a terrific exhibition, Claiming Space: Some American Feminist Originators at the Katzen Museum at American University. So good, in fact, that Jessica Dawson has a large review of it in this morning's Washington Post.
The works in the show are choice! They bring back memories to those of us who were paying attention in those days. The curators Nrma Broude and Mary Garrard have selected a fine show and written an excellent catalog which clarifies the issues then - and now?

This is a show well worth seeing , not once but several times.

COMMENTS:
The work holds up after 30+ years. The spacious setting at the museum highlights the importanceof the Women's Arts movement.

SEPTEMBER SHOW
GEORGE ISO
Rio/Paris/Washington
Paintings
Gallery 10
September 5 - 28, 2007
Reception: September7, 6 - 8 pm
1519 Connecticut Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20036
202-232-3326
Hours: Wed - Sat. 11- 5
About the artist:
This is the first exhibition at Gallery 10 for George Iso. Iso is a Brazililan artist who is also a poet and a passionate traveler, living mostly in Paris and Rio de Janeiro. His abstracts often interact with the mood and light of the towns where he has lived and worked, like Paris, London, Barcelona, Stockholm and Rio.
This year, with exhibitions in London, Washington, and Rio, Iso is showing paintings that can be best defined as metaphors of time and space.
Art critic Ligia Canongia has said of his work,
"Iso's canvases construct a space with fragments, splinters, impulses of a subjective world-view. Pictorial space fluctuates and in it forms are suggested rather than defined. Colors are summoned to act as agents of this permanent mobility.

July Show
COLOR VARIATIONS
Paintings by:
Michelle De La Menardiere, Dana Lynn Kleinman, Robert Lemar,
Jean Plough, John Carlo Punsalan, Ilona Scohynsky and
Pat Walsh
July 5 - 28 2007
Gallery Hours; Wed - Sat 11 - 5
Gallery 10 is pleased to present seven guest artists whose work
with color exemplifies the many ways pigment
can heighten visual awareness
and create both contemplative and vibrant paintings.
The exhibition samples personal landscapes, the literal treatment
of space as well as the use of symbolism and
emotion to evoke a sense of spiritual awakening.
As much as the compostions of their work may differ, for these seven
artists, color is paramount.

May Feature Exhibition: Adrienne Heinrich
REVELATIONS
Adrienne Heinrich
May 2 - May 26
Paintings, cast silicone scultpture, and installation
Gallery hours: Wed - Sat 11 - 5 PM
Artist statement:
According to Thorton Wilder, "whenever you get near the human race, there's just layers and layers of nonsense."
Through these three media, I have attempted to peel away the "nonsense" and unearth some of the truth:
we share layers of common experience.
Paintings: Through the layers of textures, the distressing of surfaces and the symbols which emerge and recede, the
paintings reference ancient cultures. We place ourselves into the context of history and question our role.
Scuptures: Cast silicone enttraps writings and artifacts that chronicle turning points in personal histories. We supply the
connections between these objects and stories.
Mirrors: The mirros reveal the identity of particular subjects who described themselves in six words or phrases.
As we see our reflections in the mirror with these words superimposed, do we judge or empathize with our subjects?

“Fish Tales and Other Stories” by Andrea V. Uravitch consists of a series of nature installations and stand alone sculptures that invite viewers to contemplate their relationship to nature.
One room articulates childhood memories of nature. A variety of fish and photos of Alaska make up a second room, while a third explores insects and lizards and their often overlooked beauty. There are also crows, as well as a series of birds in flight.
All of the animals, birds, insects, and fish have been hand crafted, using a number of different techniques: welded steel armatures, ceramics, acrylic paint, sewn fabric, fiber, wire constructions and handmade paper.
Since "Converging Forces", her 1991 installation of 75 fish, branch traps and various flotsam that dealt with man versus nature, a central theme in Uravitch's work has been the concern about how man and nature interact . Crows, impacted heavily by the West Nile Virus in Northern Virginia a few years ago, have been showing up in her installations since the mid nineties. Alaska trips in 2002 and 2004 with observations of declining numbers of salmon spawning in streams, melting glaciers and disappearing icebergs, further focused the artist's attention on themes such as nature's beauty and fragility, as well as our relationship and responsibility towards it.
