One
of the mainly top machinery in the Columbia Art Center partly of the prove is
Trudy Babchak's oil painting
"The Dance." Animated brushwork forcefully melds in concert shades of
orange, red and green for a female dancer's very full costume. The figures
upraised guns and beginning are so closely cropped that the dancing liveliness
in upshot is cramped to her chest. Also on view is Babchak's equally conceived
acrylic canvas "The Dance in Yellow."
The
stream of inspired liveliness is more reserved in David Fried's oil painting
"Jacob," whose focus is a seated fiddler whose downhill gaze reflects
the power with which he plays. Numerous of the added painters in this explain
opt for discreetly scaled compositions that are responsible to be quiet in provisions
of the colors and brushwork.
Jaye Ayres' oil painting "Tiber
Alley" emphasizes the triviality of that Ellicott City Avenue. Mark Coates'
oil paintings "quad Avenue,
Stop, come across, eavesdrop" along with "dairy familial animals dairy
farm on Folly Quarter Road" kindly describe small-town and rural life. Similarly,
Chaya Schapiro's oil paintings "Blue House," "Morning Mist"
and "Small Pond" sensitively intermingle yellow and green tones for a
calm effect
Of the further artwork in various mediums,
you can comprise a smile-inducing side-by-side assessment concerning two
artists with a very poles apart take on the equivalent city. Bonnie Printz's issue
"Traveling Series: Baltimore, Inner Harbor" offers an average striking
view of a sailboat-filled harbor and skyline as seen from Federal Hill. Nearby,
Greg McLemore has numerous oil paintings
in a "Baltimore Ruins" chain that depict dissolution rowhouses and supplies
in reasonably stressed out neighborhoods.
