| Viewers enjoy Freedom and Constraint |
On First Friday, August 7, 2015, Matrix Fine Art hosted a reception for our latest exhibition,
Freedom and Constraint: Fused Glass by Lisa Chernoff & Paintings by Rachel Popowcer and Raul Dorn.
The dynamic mix of media really enlivened both the space and our visitors!
Lisa Chernoff’s fused glass
pieces evoke a soothing
tension between the bold use of color along with the cold density of the glass
itself. She captures intricate subtleties within the layers of glass and which
are reinforced by the shadows projected on the wall.

Rachel Popowcer carefully
builds up her paintings with layers of color and personal symbols such as hummingbirds,
lines, and the female form.

Raul Dorn’s pieces “have no prescribed footwork -
only impulse, no finger on the map - just direction. His work has become
increasingly less cerebral and calibrated, gaining contact with the turbulence
of painting from the gut.”

Our artists each demonstrate levels of constraint and freedom in their approach to mark-making, subject matter and execution.

Did you miss the reception? Don't worry! The show runs through August 29, 2015. There's still time to see the work in person.
