Opening Reception for Illuminate and Entangled at Saratoga Arts
Illuminate considers light as both a natural and artificial phenomenon. Artists Victoria Palermo and Adam Tinkle come together to echo our everyday encounters with light, examining how it leaves physical and psychological traces on the body and mind. In Illuminate, viewers are immersed in saturated colors and geometric forms that reflect natural and digital spaces. Both natural and artificial light serve to illuminate (to see and learn), to heal (to restore and mend), and to delight (to fascinate and entertain). As the world continues to navigate both physical and digital space, the balance we find between these two light sources becomes increasingly essential. Entangled: Page Darrow Solo Exhibition explores knitted patterns and repetition, resulting in paintings that lie between abstraction, landscape, and still life. Darrow uses repetition in her work, as a slow, contemplative reflection that allows for color, light, and shape to evolve while she works on a piece. She interrupts this repetition by breaking apart, expanding, and twisting together the knitted structures, simultaneously creating a sense of control and tension. The transformed knitted motifs reference natural matter of the ocean and earth, as she considers actual boundaries of inside and outside, and implied boundaries of craft and abstraction.
