WHAT MOVES YOU?
What moves you? According to Ramon Bravo, it isn’t cars. His assemblage shows the ultimate rush hour horror. Many other members turned to transportation themes. Rick Lucia’s “N41HQ” is a photograph of a classic airplane. Charlotte Seekamp’s quiet, evocative photos of bicycles reminded this reviewer of photographs from a 1950s issue of Life or National Geographic. Jeff Hill’s “Rust Bucket” actually uses an old bicycle as “found art.” Richard Herring’s bold and playful acrylic, “He Felt Like He Was Always Driving In Circles,” was understandably a quick sale. Other members turned to nature for their inspiration. Susan DeLora’s ceramic fish “Untitled” flows with color. Chai Henn’s acrylic “KOI” is a nice blend of eastern and western influences. Ingrid Brook-Kothlow’s mixed-media “Wild Seeds” is a quiet, haunting piece. “Bearded & Dutch Irises & Poppies” by Frances Healey is a lovely impressionism. And one glance at Denise Bradley’s oil and you know you’re on the main trail at “San Pedro Park.” Music motivated a couple of members. Jean Lannen’s assemblage, “Something Anything,” is a tribute to her friend, the musician Todd Rundgren, and features a couple of his spinning albums. Rob Machado’s acrylic, “World Tour,” is a banner to the band Rush. Still others turned inward to express themselves abstractly. Alice Kelmon’s watercolor, “Feather & Square,” is a series of controlled splatters that is a true delight. Mary Harris’ acrylic, “Form, Fun and Fantasy” flows with color and curling brushwork. Dominic Carrillo’s “In Praise of Bacchus” is an electric surge of color and bold lines. Gaila Jenning’s glass piece, “Broken Wheel,” glows with blue swirls and copper foil. And Deborah Corsini’s fiber, “Hot Flash” is vibrant pattern of recycled plastic and yarns. It’s an entertaining and “moving” show.      |
