Eyeporium Gallery Exhibition Opening
“Paper+Paint” by Sarah Kretchmer and Marianna Levant
Opening Night is Friday, April 2, 2010
CHICAGO, Illinois – March 11, 2010 – Eyeporium Gallery presents “Paper+Paint” with a sampling of mixed media pieces from Sarah Kretchmer and Marianna Levant. In addition to sharing common materials of paper and paint, both artists explore the tension between order and chaos in their work. Levant uses digital design tools to create a counterpoint for painterly mixed-media passages. This juxtaposition of analog and digital processes leads to surprising compositions that are both rhythmic and fluid. Kretchmer painstakingly builds up layer after layer of paper and paint and then excavates the surface to reveal what lies beneath. By thoughtfully omitting and revealing certain pieces, Kretchmer creates an evocative mix of color and texture.
