Whether teacher and student, friends and colleagues, mentor and mentee, each artist pair has an aesthetic connection. The abridged circular forms connected by a white path in Suzanne Caporael’s painting are echoed in her chosen artist Rita MacDonald’s optical white polka dot wall drawing. Nanette Carter’s work, comprised of shaped layers of painted mylar, and the work of her invited artist Heloisa Pomfret, a fan shaped canvas with coral-like depth, both demonstrate edges full of surprise and color with natural warmth. Lisa Corinne Davis’s complex melted grid and Madhini Nirmal’s chaotic scene present picture planes dense with details and stacked, collapsing structures. Louise Fishman’s canvas is dominated by thick paint applied in big moves touching every edge, and Margery Mellman’s piece has a similar all over attention, although a thinner veil of paint saturates the surface, with hints of imagery pulled out by delicate marks.
