Minute Particulars...New Work by Janet Fredericks
Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery is located at 86 Falls Road, in Shelburne Village.
In this new body of work drawings and paintings invite the viewer to consider how our attention to something as small as insects can open the world to us. The exhibit's title, "Minute Particulars," acknowledges the infinite in the small while pondering and playing with ideas of fecundity and fragility, insects as oracles, tellers of the future, and biodiversity, the variety of life in the artist's natural environment.
In two large drawings entitled "Listening" and "Looking" children stand attentive as insects clamor about them as if wanting to be seen and heard...there is something on the wind. Unseen messages abound in this work while their "ominous luminosity" further draws us into their mystery.
Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery will be showing "Minute Particulars: New Work by Janet Fredericks", beginning with an opening reception with the artist on Friday, October 28th, 6-8 p.m. The exhibit will run through November 29th, 2011.
Hours are Tue-Fri 9:30-5:30, and Sat 10-5.
