"Without Hesitation," New paintings by James Koskinas & Julie Schumer, June 23 - July 24 2006
Farrell Fischoff Gallery hosts a 2-person art exhibition of new paintings by James Koskinas and Julie Schumer, June 23 - July 24 2006. An opening reception will be held Friday, 23 June from 5-7:30 pm.
Santa Fe, NM (PRWEB) June 17, 2006 -- Farrell Fischoff Gallery is pleased to host an exhibition of new paintings by New Mexico artists James Koskinas and Julie Schumer. The exhibition opens June 23, 2006 and runs through July 24. An opening reception will be held on Friday, June 23 from 5:00 pm - 7:30 pm.
This is the second two-person show Farrell Fischoff has given Koskinas and Schumer, and their work has grown stronger and more compositionally sophisticated in the intervening two years.
Koskinas describes himself as an Expressionist painter: "I do not own my talent. The paintings come from somewhere. All I have to do is hold on to the brush."
In his current series of paintings, Portraits of Women, Koskinas explores his subconscious archetypes of woman and femininity with boldly colored studies of women's faces. These striking paintings portray a wide range of expression and emotion, demonstrating Koskinas' skill with the brush, and his fascination with the human form.
Schumer’s geometric abstractions are drawn from her acute observation and sensitivity to the world around her. They distill the southwestern landscape using color, light and form. Painted over time, layer by layer, each canvas or work on paper has developed a compelling depth and warmth.
Originally from Arizona and California, respectively, Koskinas and Schumer now reside in Lamy, New Mexico where they have lived and worked together for the past 6 years.
The gallery is open to the public Tues-Sat, 9AM - 5PM and is also available for private viewing by appointment.
