In the Gallery: "Afterglow" by Janet Sorokin

Presently, in the Marie Louise Trichet Gallery are works which comprise the second of our three retrospectives to celebrate the 15th Anniversary of the gallery. Each of the artists have had a solo show in the gallery since it opened in April, 1994. In the upcoming weeks, we will feature on our blog one of the pieces in the show and a brief reflection by the artist who created it.

Gallery hours are Monday - Saturday 10 am - 4 pm. The present show will run until August 22, 2009.

"Afterglow" by Janet Sorokin

After many years of doing large oil and acrylic paintings, I have recently begun creating collages made with torn papers which have been painted with acrylics, enhanced by using sand and other interesting materials to add texture.

I then translate these abstract images into limited editions of archival prints where fine rag paper and permanent inks are used in transforming the colors and shapes of my collages into a whole new medium.
