Wolfgang Bloch at Hespe Gallery, April 3 - May 12

Hespe Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new works by Wolfgang Bloch. This will be Bloch's first solo exhibition at Hespe Gallery since joining us in 2011. A reception for the artist will be held on Thursday, April 5^th, 2012 from 5:30 to 7:30. The exhibition will continue until April 12, 2012.
 

Working with found objects and mixed media, Wolfgang Bloch creates abstract seascapes in a subdued palette that capture the beauty and essence of the ocean along with its surrounding environment. To create these compositions, Bloch uses two fields of color separated by an endless horizon line where a thin area of vivid white suggests a wave breaking in the distance. Though he reduces his imagery down to the essential, these sparing portrayals are imbued with extraordinary atmosphere. The artist’s use of found objects is symbolic of the connection he feels to nature, and also encourages an environmental awareness in the viewer. Through his artistic process, Bloch transforms found objects from mere scraps to objects of beauty.

Erin Cone at Hespe Gallery, March 1 - 31!

Hespe Gallery is pleased to announce “Ingénue”, a solo exhibition of new works by Erin Cone. A reception for the artist will be held on Thursday, March 1, 2012 from 5:30 – 7:30. The exhibition continues through March 31, 2012.

 Using clean lines and sharp focus detail, Erin Cone creates works that possess an elegant simplicity. Cone’s paintings are a striking combination of figurative realism and abstract minimalism and are composed of a single, stylized figure against unmodified planes of color, which, in the current series range from pure white to vibrant reds and greens. The artist has also begun experimenting with negative space resulting in ever more striking contrasts. In this series, Cone continues to create tension between the hard edge, linear quality and the soft shapes of the female form. The artist does not seek to force a narrative within her works, rather, her paintings are so highly simplified that the narrative may be inferred or the pieces can be read as pure design. 

Works on paper at Hespe Gallery, February 1 - 29!

From Richard Ambrose's cityscapes displaying his superior draftsmanship to Marianne Kolb's gestural and haunting figure studies, each work reveals the expressive possibilities of this delicate medium.
