100 Days of Winter - AG Gallery

New Exhibition by Rachelle Tolwin

ONE HUNDRED DAYS OF WINTER

March 31 - April 29, 2012
Opening Reception: March 31, 6 - 9PM

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.

New Exhibition Fall 2011 - AG Gallery

Collages:
Maureen Shields Solo Exhibition

Sept. 2 - Oct. 30, 2011
Opening Night: Friday, Sept 2, 6 - 9 PM


AG Gallery/About Glamour in Williamsburg is pleased to present 
a solo exhibition by a unique college artist, Maureen Shields.
We exhibit one of her signature artworks, collages on wood panels and on vintage dish plates at this show. 

The intent of her work is twofold. First, she hopes to initially attract and ideally seduce, as well as engage the viewer with surface, color, and beautiful and interesting objects. The tone of her work is often at first glance innocent and cheerful. Second, what follows this initial reception of a playful, nearly saccharine veneer is a deeper invitation into a strangely constructed world. The viewer is caught between a delight in the fantastic and a sense of unease or menace. The animal motifs she employs in the work, often times emphasizes the idea of the animal kingdom rather than actual wildlife. Her art works to balance between the whimsical, the grotesque, and the commonplace. She hopes to skew perspective and she seeks to reintroduce the strangeness and complexity associated with childhood without projecting directly onto the specific.

*her works on our silent auction.

Maureen Shields
Born in San Gabriel, CA. 

2004 MFA at New York University
2000 BFA at California State University

She lives and works in San Francisco, CA. Her successful eight solo exhibitions were held in California and New York through 1994 to 2011. Her artworks also made appearance in various group exhibitions, mainly held in California. Her signature artworks are colleges on different materials such as wood panels and vintage plates. 


The opening reception will be held at AG Gallery/About Glamour on September 2, from 6 to 9 p.m. 
Please stop in and enjoy the artworks with friends.
The exhibition will be on view through October 30, 2011.
