Contemporary artist Clare Rojas brings a unique collection of illustrations to the ACA Gallery of SCAD Atlanta in an exhibition titled “Through the Woods.” Combining elements of allegory, folklore and caricature, the provocative illustrations shift male, female, natural and animal roles, often depicting subjects caught in disturbing, confusing or compromising situations. Planes and scale seem to shift while subjects are rendered as naked, grotesque or macabre. Still, the works remain refreshingly playful thanks to the artist’s whimsical, folk art style.

"Rock Paper Scissors," A 30-Year Retrospective by Steven Sachs

“Rock Paper Scissors,” a 30-year retrospective of Atlantan Steven Sachs’ work, continues at Barbara Archer Gallery. The paintings and found-object sculptures of this proliﬁc local, who has remained largely under the radar while maintaining a strong artistic inﬂuence, straddle the line between modern and folk art for a powerful visual dialogue. Through 3/13. Opening this month, the intensely ordered, radial forms of Tray Dugas mesmerize not only in their geometry and organization but also their materials: vintage cigar and beer
labels.

Return to Nature: New Paintings by Michael Abrams

26 Mar 2010 23:00:00 GMT

1000 Marietta Street, Suite 208
Atlanta, GA 30318
Friday, March 26, 2010, 7 – 10pm

EMILY AMY GALLERY is pleased to present our second exhibition of the 2010 season, "Return to Nature: New Paintings by Michael Abrams." Growing up in Rensselear County in upstate New York would eventually have a profound influence on Michael Abrams’ artistic career, although he was not aware of it then. The views out his childhood bedroom window of the Hudson River Valley became deeply engrained in his subconscious and have since become the predominant subject of his work. The landscapes are loosely based on these Hudson River Valley vistas he remembers but are also partially fabricated in his imagination. The combination makes for atmospheric, luminescent and ethereal paintings created from layering glazes from semi-transparent to opaque. The result is a beautifully rendered edenic nature of Abrams’ own personal invention.
