Fig. 4
Verge Gallery and Studio Project presents Fig. 4, an exhibition of figurative works by four artists. The show includes bay area artists Eiko Sugi, Patricia Gillespie, and Bethany Ayres, and Sacramento based artist Jacob Fossum. Though their methods vary, from Sugi's delicate cut paper silhouettes, to Fossum's masterful oil paintings, to Gillespie's mixed media works, and Ayres' bright enamel on wood paintings; all four artists engage the viewer with their representations of the human figure in scenes of open ended narrative. Because of the implied, yet ambiguous nature of the narrative in the work, the viewer is invited to fill in the blanks, and consider issues of identity, symbolism, the irony found in the everyday, and beyond.
The exhibition runs October 25 through December 13, with opening and closing receptions on November 8 and December 13 from 6-10 pm.
The Verge Gallery is Sacramento's newest and largest contemporary art space. Boasting over 3,000 square feet, The Verge is poised to become a regional art destination. In the coming months area art goers can expect to see works from national and international artists in all genres and mediums. The Verge will provide area art goers with a vital new voice and venue for contemporary work.
