Judith Roth at the Koehnline

 
 
Judith Roth's graphite drawing "GAITERS"  (44x34) is included in the Women's International Juried Art Exhibition "Gendering Desire: Liberationl Power, and Pleasure" at the Koehnline Museum of Art, October 2-24, 2014 - This image reflects echoes of both genders - masculine and feminine ambiguities.  Do elevated shoes reflect power? Do high heels exude power? The fingerless gloves, the torn stockings, the gaiters, all add hints of dominance and submission....

Come see my work and the work of other fine artists: Jo Marks Aardsma, Tonia Bonnell, Michael Burnett, Sophia Dixon Dillo, Carlene Frances, Susan M. Gibbons, Nancy Koenigsberg, Diane McGregor, Sharon Swidler
Surface (part 5 in the Art of the Real Series)
Showing: September 26th 2014 - November 1st 2014
Opening Reception: Friday, September 26th 6-9pm
Space Gallery is at 400 Santa Fe Drive, Denver CO 80204, 720.904.1088
How Many Miles to Babylon No. 3, c. 2014, 18"x24", oil, oil wash, polyester thread, copper roofing nails on unprimed cotton canvas, Nancy Charak artist.

Space Gallery: This show interests itself in the “non-objective”: art that is not representational, that contains no recognizable figures or objects, art that has no intentional derivation from any concrete matter. The work for this show was selected because each artist uses the surface as a crucial element beyond a vehicle on which to apply a medium….either revealing what is behind/under the surface or concealing/altering/manipulating the surface itself and in a palette of white, black, gray, or neutral.
