nature is what we see
June 22 - July 14,2024
From Galleri Urbane: "Galleri Urbane is pleased to announce our 10th annual group show, nature is what we see, exhibiting work by gallery artists, Drea Cofield and Heath West, and introducing; Makenzie Heinemann, Lina Tharsing, and Bradley Biancardi. The exhibition is composed of artists examining landscape through their individual interpretations; from plein-air compositions to explorations in the abstractions available in landscape - both realistic and geometric. Artist Drea Cofield returns with her plein-air compositions, derived from the desire inherent in the natural movement of the world. Heath West explores the phenomena in the Mojave Desert between sunrise and stargaze, combining stacks of color colliding against each other in vertical stacks. Introducing Dallas artist Makenzie Heinemann, the artist utilizes a pouring technique for her paintings, each done on the floor of her studio, “I blur land/body divisions and investigate the territory where magic and nature mingle," she says. Water cascades to her canvases, spreading the saturated pigments through a process of wetting, drying, and repetition. Lina Tharsing also joins the exhibition with a series of "window paintings," each done through a plein-air practice. The refracted soft focused colors of the exteriors blur shape and form in a swirling mix of hue, texture, and tonality. Bradley Biancardi explores the varrying values of hue as the sun transitions through its path in the sky. His scenes are split from sea and sky, with atmospheric light shimmering between layers of rising waves. Ongoing in Gallery 1 is Saskia Fleishman’s solo exhibition, Scattered Light. Fleishman's exhibition is strongly related to the work presented in 'nature is what we see', as her work presents the intersection of on-location imagery, and post-photographic abstraction through material intervention in acrylic and sand. The viewing room will exhibit work from select gallery artists, including new work from Rachel Hellmann, Mel Prest and Arden Bendler Browning"
