Liz Mamorsky: A 50 Year Retrospective November 19, 2011

Opening reception Sat, Nov 19, 6-9pm; exhibit Nov 19 - Dec 17, 2011

We are pleased to announce our newest featured artist, the multifaceted Liz Mamorsky. In the last half century, Liz has been successfully creating sculptures, paintings, and drawings that have been exhibited nationally and internationally. On Saturday Nov. 19th, we invite you to join us in celebrating her amazing journey as we showcase an array of her paintings, reclaimed materials sculpture and drawings from 1961 to 2011!

"My paintings, which are a totally right-brain function, evolve from a tangle of brush marks, spills and splatters, randomly applied to the stretched canvas, obliterating the oppressive whitespace. Creatures emerge, morph, vanish and reappear. I try to hold on to the strongest ones and rough them in. I develop the cast of characters by glazing in thin coats of oil and medium, ultimately creating a luminous surface.

With sculpture, form determines function. A new object arrives in the studio and sparks an idea of what it will become, joined with materials that may have been lying around the studio for years. I love dismantling machines and finding the treasures within - the interior landscape.

Drawing is somewhere between painting and sculpture, Instead of making marks on the amate barkskin, I find the forms within the texture of the paper and pull them out, carving the space with my pencil.

All three disciplines, painting, sculpture and drawing, are exciting areas in which to work. There is never any down time - no blockage. The only problem is finding the time to do it all." - Liz Mamorsky
