Gallery 14 is proud to present the culminating month of a two month dual exhibit featuring work by abstract expressionist Barbara Krupp and photographer/assemblagist Paul Solovay.  The show will continue through Jan 26, 2024, with a reception on Friday Jan 5, 5-8pm as part of the First Friday Gallery Stroll. 

Barbara Krupp, has exhibited nationally and internationally in galleries and museums and her work can be found in many private collections, including the University of Tampa, who purchased fifty three of her paintings. Originally trained as an x-ray technician, she likes to quote T.S. Eliot, “I have seen the skull beneath the skin.” The structure of the painting is very important to her, as she allows the bones of the painting – both computationally and metaphorically, become the painting’s subject matter. 

Paul Solovay, spent nearly thirty years as a top creative talent in advertising, creating many award-winning commercials.  His Pepsi commercial “Bringing Home Baby” is in the Smithsonian Museum and the Broadcast Museum in NYC.  His ‘Active Camera’ music photographs,  beautiful ‘Flowers in the Abstract’ photographic series, and  complex thought provoking ‘Time Capsule‘ assemblages, bring us a multi faceted look at his work.  His new series ‘Time Capsules of the 20^th Century’ feature multi-media assemblages with sound tracks and ephemera.

Also featured: Gallery 14 artist-owners:  Lila Blakeslee, Barbara du Pont, Barbara Landry, Mary Ann Hall, Jessica Leto,  Deborah Polackwich, Dorothy Napp Schindel, and Evan Schwarze.  Also shown will be work by  represented artists Walford Campbell, Melanie Denison, Joan Earnhart, Terry Green, Viola Pace Knudsen, Mia Lindberg, Francis Mesaros,  Michael Robinson,  Carol Staub and  Jo Zaza.  Gallery 14 is located at 1911 14^th Avenue in Vero Beach, FL.  Open hours: Tues – Fri, 10-5pm and Sat 10-4pm OR open by appointment.
