We are proud to show work—innovative and sincere—by eight contemporary printmakers. The exhibition is based on this great principle of Aesthetic Realism, stated by Eli Siegel:
| |
All beauty is a making one of opposites, and the making one of opposites is what we are going after in ourselves. |
|
Surface and depth, dark and light, fact and imagination are brought together with subtlety and surprise in every beautiful print. And we can learn about these and other opposites in people, nations, ourselves, through the printmaker's art!
Gallery Hours: Wed-Fri 12-5; Sat 12-4

"In reality opposites are one; art shows this."--Eli Siegel
 
|
The Terrain Gallery presents the work of 10 artists in various styles and media—all showing the meaning of these great sentences from Eli Siegel's The Opposites Theory: "Shapes widen and narrow; come to a point and curve; rise, fall—and these things we do too. The drama of colors and shapes and lines is humanity's drama."

Emotion — in Black & White and Color
