' Gallery's next show:
"Expressions in Wood, Glass, and Bamboo"
featuring Charlie Katzenbach
and Norine Kevolic
September 7-30, 2012
Opening reception: Saturday, Sept 8, 4-7
pm
It's supposed to be a two-artist show, but when Charlie Katzenbach's and
Norine Kevolic's latest work debuts at the Artists' Gallery on September 7,
visitors will see immediately that "Expressions in Wood, Glass, and Bamboo"
relies very heavily on the artistry of a third. Call her "Mother Nature".

"For this show, I wanted to illustrate how my ideas
and abstract thoughts find symbolic expression in natural materials," Kevolic
says. "Each mosaic represents a single idea that surfaced during the creative
process, while also incorporating another interesting way to use bamboo. My
intention was to bring out the subtle beauty and versatility of the material in
an elegant way."

"Stepping Out"
wood sculpture
Katzenbach, whose preferred medium has primarily been oil painting on glass,
here also embraces wood, in the form of downed tree limbs.
"With names like 'Getting Closer to Yew' and 'Reflections on a
Beech', this work is intended to be both humorous and handsome" says
Katzenbach.
Although Charlie's and Norine's aesthetics are different, they share a
profound respect for the natural world and for craftsmanship. In addition,
they both find inspiration in the spiritual. You might say, in fact, that
their roots are the same.
