Old Events

Part-time Tellurider, painter Jane Taylor, and her husband, photographer Frederic Ohringer, join a group of Hudson Valley artists featured together in a group show in Germantown, New York. Ohringer curated the exhibit at the request of ArtSpace. The opening reception is January 16.

Taylor is no stranger to Telluride collectors. Her shows at the Telluride Gallery of Fine Art and at the Scott White Gallery used to sell out. Taylor's subject matter evolved over the years from abstractions suggesting worlds coming apart to the bounty of the table and garden, summarizing the arc of the artist's life. Insider poop aside, by channeling her physical experiences of the outside world, each tour de force painting became about making the commonplace look uncommonly good. Something that straddled the border between memory and metaphor, reality and illusion. Something transcendent.

Last January, TCAH's Strong Studios featured the work of newly minted local Amy Jean Boebel, a recycler with massive creative chops. "Seventeen Scrolls of Screen" featured playfully elegant sculptures created entirely from rolls of wire screen. Exactly one year later, Boebel managed to open her own gallery: Sapsucker Studios, 299 South Fir Street, where the idea is to feature cutting-edge work produced by regional artists. Sapsucker's debut show this Thursday features her own "Screen Scapes and Shapes," illuminative aluminum screen wall hangings and sculpture in which shadows complete the picture in a play of movement and light.
