Suzanne Ulrich at John Davis Gallery, November 9th, 2006, Hudson, New York
On Thursday, November 9th, Suzanne Ulrich will open a solo exhibition at the John Davis Gallery. The work will be on display through December 3rd with a reception for the artist on Saturday, November 11th from 6:00 until 8:00 p.m.
Ms. Ulrich thinks of herself as a painter, however, she has been making small cut, torn, gouache painted and pasted paper collages now exclusively since 1997. As a painting major, she was most Interested in a design course where she could play with basic shapes. These collages bring her full circle back to that interest. Even as a painter, she worked on painted stripes, large and small, canvas and paper.
The collage works have a small intimate scale. The rectangle both dominates and gives structure to the work with attention to surface detail and layering. With a compositional ordering, avoiding any illusionist references, each piece becomes a composed self-contained presence with consistent high quality and purity of vision.
This is the first show of Ms Ulrich’s work in Hudson, New York. In Boston she is represented by Barbara Krakow Gallery. In New York, both Kathryn Markel and OK Harris share her work.
Gallery hours are Thursday through Monday, 10:00 till 5:30 p.m. For further information about the gallery, the artists and upcoming exhibition, visit www.johndavisgallery.com or contact John Davis directly at 518.828.5907 or via e-mail: art@johndavisgallery.com.
