"Life as We See It"
new works by
Gail Bracegirdle
and
Alla Podolsky
May 10 - June 3, 2018
Opening Reception: Saturday, May 12, 4-8 pm
The narrative of our past and present, as we see it and interpret it, is
the subject of the new works shown at Artists' Gallery in "Life as We
See It".
Gail Bracegirdle, a graduate of Moore College of Art & Design, has
focused on watercolors for over 25 years. "I feel that being an artist
means that my job is to record what I see around me. The subjects evolve
with the influence of light, weather, seasons and locations. Looking
around my studio as I'm working is like reading my diary."
Alla Podolsky's work lends itself to interpretive narrative. "I paint
events, as I experienced them, as I remember them, as I process them.
Sometimes it's a direct interpretation and other times it's distorted
and impacted by my feelings and memories. As artists, we inevitably
change things just by observing and translating them into our work. This
is what art is to me: translation. Of experiences, moments, emotions.
It's life as we see it, inherently different from anyone else's
perspective."
Born and raised in Kiev, Ukraine, Alla Podolsky traces her love of
psychological painting to the Byzantine-style iconography of that city.
She is a graduate of Moore College of Art and Design, and holds a
master's degree in painting from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine
Arts.
And don't forget - along with our featured exhibit,
all 16 of our professional artists continuously have their work on exhibit.
We look forward to your next visit to Artists' Gallery,
where there's always something new to see.
