"Room for Blue"

ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
  

McGee’s medium and large-scale abstract works reveal an exploration in compositional qualities as well as a palpable sensitivity to palette. The intellectual yet profoundly emotive approach to painting emerges from McGee’s extensive background in early childhood education in the arts. Her paintings have won awards and are found in private collections in the US, Europe, and in numerous corporate establishments throughout Washington, DC. Donna K. McGee treats viewers to the wonder and richness of colors and uses color to create atmosphere and emphasize forms. The imagery that is present in many of the pieces is highlighted by the use of the color blue which speaks eloquently in a language all its own. There is much that is exciting in this collection, and the overall impression is one that allows the audience to feel themselves in the role of an adventurer, daring to venture further and to see more clearly. The result is sure to speak to both the head and the heart, and remain a lasting memory for those who see it. 

EXHIBITING IN GALLERY II

In addition to the main Gallery, Foundry Gallery II features member artists exhibiting work that has not been shown before at the Foundry.

Foundry Gallery: "New Glass, With Drawings"

NEW GLASS, WITH DRAWINGS

 NEW WORK BY NANCY DONNELLY

EXHIBIT DATES: WED, OCT 03 - SUN, OCT 28, 2012

OPENING RECEPTION: FRI, OCT 05, 2012 6:00 - 8:00 PM

LOCATION: 1314 18TH STREET, NW, WASHINGTON, DC 20036

REGULAR HOURS: WED - FRI 1:00 - 7:00 PM, SAT & SUN NOON - 6:00 PM

ABOUT THE EXHIBIT

Called an inheritor of the Color School (May 2012, DCArtNews, blogspot.com), Nancy Donnelly strives for something like realism, but with respect for abstraction.  Her work, both 3-D and wall-hung, reveals an amused interest in the actual world.  There's at least one joke in this show!

Trained as a painter, Donnelly discovered glass as an art medium a few years ago and realized what a gorgeous and difficult material it is.  Now, she has looked past the beauty of glass and overcome the technical difficulties to focus on the purpose, the narrative, the meaning of art work -- not the decorative qualities but the need to speak about life and the world.

These days she is consciously bringing drawing and painting back into her work, working bigger, and melding glass with other materials, as well as making more art on paper.  She describes her work as "trying and trying to say something without words."

ABOUT THE EXHIBIT

Inspired by the beauty unfolding this spring in Washington, Judy Gilbert Levey's vivid hues and aggressive brushing take viewers deep into plein air paintings of lily ponds, farms and country and urban life. The mood of her work ranges from bucolic to grenetic. Her vision seeks to sweep aside the line between representation and abstraction, finding color, light and patter in familiar forms.

The exhibit includes new paintings done at the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens, Tregaron Conservancy, both in DC, and Lily ponds in Adamstown, MD, as well as landscapes from Maine and the Pacific Northwest.
