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.
