exhibition
January 29 – February 23, 2020

We're pleased to announce that Bill Brookover is showing a group of prints in this four person show at Cerulean Arts. A use of evolving pattern and spatial layering are fundamental to these artists’ creative practices. Trained in architecture and design, Bill Brookover begins with a constraint such as a geometric pattern or color palette and pushes the rule to find unexpected juxtapositions. 

Other artists in the show are Joan Wadleigh Curran, Anda Dubinskis & Heather McMordie.

Reception: Saturday, February 1, 2-5pm

Stella Untalan : 600 Drawings : installation + sale
exhibition
February 7 – February 29, 2020

600 drawings 4x4 2019, is the result of a drawing project — making at least one drawing each day. This project involved the use of four-inch squares of paper of various weights, colors, and surfaces. I found that many small pieces could be cut out of remnants of paper in my studio. 

Year long projects help expand my vocabulary, they create new phrases and expletives. Join me to see the hundreds of drawings I made in this series.
