Spring Art Exhibit in Red Bluff

RED BLUFF, Calif. - April 7, 2015 - PRLog -- Art, Music, Food & Drink will be featured at the Red Bluff Art Gallery on Friday, April 10, from 5 to7 PM, to mark the opening reception for new art by Anna Basalaev-Binder, Reeba Barrows, Mary English, Sunny Farrar and Vera Solyanik.

        “The Space Between” is an exhibit of new works by Bay Area artist Anna Basalaev-Binder. It is featured in the Window Gallery section of the Red Bluff Art Gallery.

        Anna explains: “In this new body of work I explore the relationship between figure and viewer, figure/viewer/space. I am interested in the ways we are allowed to visually enter or are held back from entering places both physical and psychological.  In these paintings I give the viewer a glimpse into an intimate moment shared or a snapshot into a particular place and time. The viewer looks in from behind the figure’s back, or is restrained by the dark edges of an interior, never fully allowed to enter the moment.”

“These are the spaces in- between.  The non-binary and the disappearing; the moments of old trains and disintegrating structures amidst the reality of a modern and technological world, yet still these old things carry meaning and weight.”

“I employ techniques of layering, thin washes and mediums that reject pigment to portray the decay and decomposition I find so enchanting.  I am interested in the moment of disintegration, both in the world and in my paintings, and what that in-between space can show us about beauty and landscape.”

        In the Main Hall the featured artist is Reeba Barrows and her abstract paintings as well as sculptures. Work by Sunny Farrar (wood carving and prints); Mary English (paintings); and Vera Solyanik (paintings) are also part of the exhibit.

        The Artist Reception is open to the public. The gallery is at 601 Walnut in Red Bluff and online at www.RedBluffArtGallery.com
