“Being the Same, but Different” mixed media

Opening Reception:  Friday, September 3, 6-9 pm 

Linda Sorkin Eisenberg’s work explores the thread that pulls together reality and fantasy. Constant Motion consists of seven triptychs relating to seven countries Linda has visited. She uses the naked eye and the camera to focus on beauty of a country through its faces. Linda uses embellishments on the flatness of the photograph to alter your experience from reality to the magical. In the Constraint installation the individual inconstancy is hidden by the rigid structure of the grid. The stiffness enables the mind to wander to the unpredictable nature of life. In other pieces with handkerchiefs, they are stiff and textured quite unlike their traditional delicate nature. By evoking the delicate while being rough they capture the lives of their owner.,

“Tonal Abstraction” oils on canvas

Opening Reception:  Friday, September 3, 6-9 pm

These paintings are both nostalgic and contemporary. They are naïve enough to believe that art can sustain the human soul, that it can embrace both uncertainty and complexity while acknowledging the erosion of solidity and appearance as the basis of the work. Arising from the tradition of inner necessity in abstract painting, they admit to the hesitancy of a discomforted soul. They also have lotsa colours!

“objet petit a” archival inkjet prints and video

Opening Reception:  Friday, September 3, 6-9 pm 

The “objet petite a” series is about desire, and the allure of the
unattainable.  In this series Anat has digitally modified still images
taken from television commercials. The advertised is generic.
Commercials sell an impossible ideal, lacking any reference point
to objects being sold.   In the “objet petite a” series, the heavy
layering of multiple frames of video erases the objects being sold,
thus distilling and crystallizing the ideals, rather than the object,
being sold.  Highly saturated, dreamlike and blurred, these images
are meant to evoke both hope and nostalgia.
