Look in the windows at WSG the next couple of days, and you might see gallery members Norma Penchansky-Glasser and Nora Venturelli carefully arranging and hanging the new show "Faces". This show features self-portraits by gallery owners/artists in all the different ways they've interpreted self. (Also, Steve Coron's Community High School art students will have work featured in the current show.) Above is Valerie Mann's self-portrait "Self-Portrait, 43" in one stage of its development. The piece is on re-purposed maple plywood, drawn and routed out with a Dremel tool at the stage above. The finished piece has had an encaustic treatment painted onto it and it's been scraped down so that the black encaustic is almost solely in the carved-out lines.
Stop by the gallery when the show opens Tuesday at noon to see all the pieces! The reception for this show is Friday, March 4, 6-9pm. Join us!
