Journey Through the Decades: Time Capsules by Paul Solovay
On view through January 26 at 1911 14th Avenue in Vero Beach. Gallery 14 is proud to present a two month dual special exhibit featuring work by abstract expressionist Barbara Krupp and photographer/assemblagist Paul Solovay
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 20th 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. .
