Gallery One CT is pleased to present the Chasing Balance Exhibition featuring works by Paul Fitzpatrick Nager and Ann Knickerbocker. In creating new work, both artists chase that elusive moment of balance when the picture comes into its own. The exhibit is now open for viewing in Gallery One’s 3D virtual gallery.
Paul Fitzpatrick Nager’s monotypes reflect the rhythms of life and the natural world. His works explore the parallels in art making and seeking balance in our lives.
Ann Knickerbocker weaves personal and literary references into abstract shapes to create thought-provoking works. She strives for balance and harmony in her art, whether it is between light and dark, real or imagined, or near and far.
The show is open for online viewing through November 13. Click here to visit the virtual gallery. For more information visit galleryonect.com or contact us at galleryonect@gmail.com |

Christine Kyle: “Visual Concepts” Dietlind Vander Schaaf: “We Are Poems” Amantha Tsaros: “Feral Joy” |

 | Christine Kyle: “Visual Concepts”
I make peculiar, mixed media, wall sculptures that evoke a sense of familiarity while resisting categorization. To challenge assumptions, push boundaries, and honor the messiness of nuance is the focus of my work. Things are not what they seem to be. I explore the play of movement and tension between image, form, line and space —to blur these distinctions is to challenge the viewers’ assumptions about the drawn line and the sculptural edge, the 2D and the 3D image.
|
| | | Dietlind Vander Schaaf: “We Are Poems”
My work references teachings from Zen Buddhism, Christian mysticism, the poetic traditions, and contemplative practices including yoga and meditation. I create paintings that convey an emotional tone through texture, pattern, and mark making in order to communicate what I find most lovely, haunting, and curious about the human condition.
My paintings celebrate the beauty I find everywhere - from dense urban cityscapes to quiet forest paths and bodies of water that reflect an ever changing sky. I think of my work as visual poems in which repeated lines, brushstrokes, and marks signify breath, light, reflection, movement, change, and thought, and that placed together in multiples, engage in a form of communion with one another.
