“Greg Gossel’s paintings are poignant tributes to the decades of history that is discovered when one peels back the layers of posters coating the time weathered buildings of urban decay. His work is a montage of pop culture history; cultural fragments ranging from comic book characters, pulp novel covers, tabloids and girly magazines. Beneath the vivid color palette there is a darker tone to Gossel’s work, which explores media manipulation and exploitation with a keen skill and polish that celebrates as it simultaneous condemns.”
New Works by Amy Rice
October 9 – November 29, 2009
Opening Reception Friday, October 9th, 6-9PM
“Local artist Amy Rice draws inspiration for her work from childhood memories. Embracing the sometimes fickle nature of memory her narratives frequently fill in the gaps with fantasy or a touch of exaggeration. Her paintings incorporate not-so-traditional printing techniques, such as hand cut stencils and Gocco, collaged with acrylic, gouache and ink drawings on “canvases” that range from weathered wood panels to age worn love letters.”
