What's Love Got To Do With It?
Love is in the air at the West Wing Gallery—just as Valentine’s Day peers around the corner. This is our third annual show based around this broadly themed exhibit. Good love, bad love, sex, relationships, heart break—anything to do with love was fair game for each artist to interpret. And, as usual, members of the guild created many strong, engaging works of art. The show was curated by Deborah Corsini, who in addition to her own unique assemblage (shown below), coordinated an appealing show filled with several brilliant sculptures, paintings and mixed media pieces. Tanya Lin Jaffe’s assemblage of doll, eggs, feathers and other materials, “Waiting,” greets visitors with small, rhythmic throbs. Gaila Jennings’s “Love Endures” is a giant valentine to every chocolate lover who’s developed a sweet tooth. The fiber work by Victoria Vargas, “Kissing Under a Moon” is a dark but playful piece. “No Stopping” a digital photograph by Gale Frances suggests a heroic love of mankind to overcome its evil tendencies. Mary Gould’s sculpture of two primates, “Mother and Child,” demonstrates not only technical excellence but a wry insight into the nature of motherly love. And Nancy Hall’s “They Just Don’t Get It,” a mixed media piece, cuts to the heart of organized religion’s failure to sometimes demonstrate the love proclaimed by its founder. Plus so many other terrific and “lovely” pieces. The show is on view through February 25th
