ABSTRACTIONS, New Work by Judy Atlas at City Gallery in September
City Gallery is pleased to present ABSTRACTIONS, a collection of new work by member artist Judy Atlas. The show runs September 6 – September 29, with an Opening Reception on Sunday, September 8 from 2-4 p.m. The artist will be in the Gallery on Saturday, September 28 to meet with visitors and answer questions.
There are two approaches in creating abstract art: representational abstractions which have some reference to physical reality, and nonrepresentational abstractions, which are more intuitive in approach and process, involving exploration and discovery.
There are examples of both of these approaches in ABSTRACTIONS. Atlas's Mykonos paintings are representational, inspired by the natural beauty on the islands of Greece. While her collages and other paintings are great examples of nonrepresentational abstractions.
For the collages, Atlas “deconstructed and tore apart some of my old paintings and monotypes and used these pieces to reconstruct the new abstract art pieces.” In a separate series of paintings, she explores the use of lines, color, shapes and texture to intuitively create an expression of sensations, emotional and physical.
Atlas has studied with Lora Lee Bell, Graziella De Solodow and Barbara Harder at the Creative Arts Workshop in New Haven, and also attended intensive workshops with Steve Aimone in Maine. She taught painting, abstraction, and collage classes at the Creative Arts Workshop for 20 years and has recently retired from teaching. Her work has been included in numerous solo, group, invitational and juried shows in Connecticut. She has been a member of City Gallery since 2008.
The ABSTRACTIONS exhibit is free and open to the public. It runs September 6 – September 29, with artist events on Sunday, September 8 and Saturday, September 28. City Gallery is located at 994 State Street, New Haven, CT 06511. Gallery hours are Friday - Sunday, 12 p.m. - 4 p.m., or by appointment.
