Subtle...
Texture and color are the hallmarks of Barbara Inbody’s classic abstract artwork. Each piece speaks to the rhythm of subtle colors merging and emerging across a textured field of dramatic shapes and surprises. The artist uses shape, marks and line work to facilitate the movement of color and create strong rhythmic nuances that define her enduring style. Her neutral, smoky palette is at once contemporary and ancient allowing the viewer to ruminate on soft memories. Image: "100 Takes" 30x36 | Acrylic |

featured artist: PNINA GOLD

Colorist...
Pnina Gold has a love affair with color. Each piece Ms. Gold creates shimmers and dances with vibrant, saturated hues. She fearlessly emblazons her canvas with bold, relentless color that raises the pulse and delights the eye. She is gifted with an ability to place strong, vivid hues in proximity to each other. Like a masterful conductor, creates a symphony of rich pigments that “sing” harmoniously with each other. Enjoy her color choices in all their commanding resonance.
