For Immediate Release

AG Gallery/About Glamour in Williamsburg is pleased to present a solo exhibition, 

“One Hundred Days of Winter,” by Rachelle Tolwin. All the works are from her project in this winter 

which is the document of  her daily creation process on a mountain days.

Rachelle Tolwin’s tumblr blog description reads:  

“this will be my first winter living on a mountain in the Catskill mountain state 

park. I plan to document each day of the winter with art that I made that day. 

Some days may be really cold. Some days there may be no internet access. 

I will still make something regardless of the conditions and post it 

when I am connected to the world-wide web and all of you.”

Rachelle moved to a remote area of the Catskill Mountains with her husband, Chaim, last Summer from Brooklyn. 

She looked to the Winter as a time to reflect and focus on art and decided to start www.onehundreddaysofwinter.tumblr.com. 

Her daily artwork chronicles this time through playful, introspective work clearly inspired by 

her new surroundings and connection with nature. 

Most of the work in one hundred days of winter is on paper, with gouache, watercolor and collage.

There are a few photographs that help situate her setting. 

The title of the show may suggest images of snow and a white landscape, but these types of images do not dominate the show. 

One reason may be there was not as much snow as expected this year. 

Most of the works are colorful and reflect the inward and outward journey Rachelle experienced. 

 The work in this show presents a mystical, whimsical landscape that Rachelle lives in or imagines.

Rachelle Tolwin

Rachelle Tolwin lives and works in Sundown, NY, a small hamlet in the Catskill Mountains. 

She received her MFA from California College of the Arts and her BS from New York University. 

She enjoys making imagined landscapes on paper and has shown her work nationally and internationally. 

Her work can be viewed at rachellecohen.com.

The opening reception for “One Hundred Days of Winter” will be held on

 Saturday, March 31 at AG Gallery from 6 to 9 p.m. 

The exhibition will be on view through Sunday, April 29, 2012.

AG Gallery New Exhibition

PLANE & SOLID

AG Gallery/About Glamour in Williamsburg is pleased to present a group exhibition, “PLANE & SOLID,”
by emerging artists Denis Andernach, Lynsey Hunter,  Jason Kachadourian,
Virginia Kraljevic, Ben and Sebastian, and Nicolas and Sofie.

All the works on this exhibition have in it some of the elements of “Architecture” in different ways.
Even before we discovered the beauty of architecture and started to studying and experimenting it
as an academic topic or media of art, humanity have been trying to create tons of architectural designs
in different shapes and materials for its purpose of use and intellectual climate.
Also, architecture have always been considered a part of landscapes and one of major subjects for artworks.

Because architecture has both aspects as being an artwork itself and a subject for artwork,
also naturally it has phases form 2D image on blue print to 3D structure when it built,
the works selected for this exhibition have a variety of media and shapes from plane to solid.

Artists in PLANE & SOLID:

DENIS ANDERNACH
Denis Andernach is an architect and illustrator living and working in Germany.
He creates all black and white drawing of landscape houses using clearly defined sharp lines
which would be considered formal studies in idealized landscape.


LYNSEY HUNTER

She loves to draw anything that inspires her, this is mostly any interesting architecture.
Her illustration use an eclectic mix of printed papers, quirky vintage imagery, old–fashioned fabrics,
stitch work and her own style of linear drawing mixed with watercolors and collags.

JASON KACHADOURIAN
Live and work in Brooklyn, NY. His work, in a broad sense, analyzes the blurred line between natural and artificial,
but more specifically deals with the chaotic organization that reigns in a city like New York.
The pieces vary in medium and media, but closely follow a set of guidelines and
ideas that make them cohesive when shown together.

VIRGINIA KRALJEVIC
Illustrator and visual designer based in New York City. After studying in Paris and New York,
she worked alongside some of the world’s most renowned names in publishing, fashion, retail, and television.
 Her pen and ink drawings and custom illustration will be on view.

The duo is currently exhibiting at The Museum of Art and Design in Copenhagen and
in May they start a 4 months residency at the ISCP (International Studio and Curatorial Program)  in Brooklyn.

NICOLAS AND SOFIE
"Bewilder & Pine is a dream collective of four making hands, one big black cat, and countless fear-eating-love-machines."
They are two artists and one cat (Mr. Burnside) who found each other in the wilds of the Great Northwest.
Their creation shares some of the mysterious and wonderful things that pass through their hands.
