ARTIST'S TALKS Beginning at 7:30 at the opening reception, each exhibiting Artist will give a short gallery talk . EXHIBITIONS: Main Gallery: CARL HOLZMAN, RECENT PAINTINGS Holzman describes himself as a 'boomer cliche', coming of age in the 1960's, spending the 1970's pursuing graduate studies in the humanities, veering into business school in the 1980's, climbing the corporate ladder in the 1990's. Her recently left his job to devote more time to painting. Although he describes his art training as 'informal' his work in still life betrays a sophisticated use of form and light. Gallery A: SHERI WARSHAUER Warshauer's paintings capture Chicago's contemporary middle class culture, society, and experiences, recording the social mores of our time and analyzing group dynamics and interactions. Her work conveys the bonds and relationships that exist between people by recording the unconscious and self-conscious aspects of the moment. Warshauer received her MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1999. Gallery B: JUDITH BROTMAN, INTERSECTIONS: AN INSTALLATION Brotman has been working with mixed-media wall installations for the past seven years. She creates each wall as a two layered massing composed primarily of new work, juxtaposing computer manipulated images with drawings, paintings, mixed media constructions, writings, photos, and found images and objects. She installs the work on site, allowing the placement of each piece dictate the placement of the next. Gallery C: APRIL KATZ, HER DAYS: PAGE BY PAGE Katz's prints layer information, text and visuals, in order to imply memory. She mixes hand drawn and photographic imagery with handwritten or computer generated text. Her current work examines the role the calendar plays in the life of an individual. In this exhibition, Katz integrates date book entries written by her mother with other images and text using photo-polymer plates and an intaglio process. Katz is an Assistant Professor of Art at Iowa State University. Gallery D: MAIREAD O'NEILL LAHER, SOUNDINGS "Central to Laher's work is a search for this unity, the creatoin of a cohesive harmony through paint marrying materials, content and imagination."
