Wulf Barsch, Arless Day, Josephine Haden, Kyle, Richard Lytle, John Torina Concern About Florida’s Environment Highlighted in ‘Vistas: Landscapes Interpreted’ Show

As developments in the Deepwater Horizon Well catastrophe continue to remind us of the fragility of our environment, an exhibition of landscapes that includes visual references to the ongoing assault on Florida’s scant remaining pristine forests and mangroves seems particularly relevant.

In her review of “Vistas: Landscapes Interpreted” at ArtSpace/Virginia Miller Galleries, art critic Janet Batet notes that “nowadays this subject matter stands as a metaphor for social and political inquiry, fertile ground for debating our positions on the preservation and future of our planet.” Highlights of the exhibition include large-scale assemblages and an installation by Kyle, fantasy landscapes by Josephine Haden, winner of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts 2008-09 Fellowship; “cosmic imagery” of Wulf Barsch, combining Egyptian and Islamic references with geometrical and astrological elements; American Impressionist landscapes by plein air painter John Torina; collages by Arless Day, whose works create a place in time like a movie director building a set; and Richard Lytle, whose paintings were included in the legendary “Sixteen Americans” exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art.

About Concrete Abstract Art

“It is not uninteresting to see how the luxuriant nature of the American continent, its intense baroque style and its magical realism have engendered a movement as rigorous as that of concrete abstract art. The asceticism of this artistic tendency seems to contradict the eloquence characteristic of everything American which manifested itself since the florid times of the chroniclers, passing through modernism until the present day. Nevertheless, that is how it has been. In Uruguay and Argentina, where the “Madí” movement was born; in Venezuela, where cybernetics and optical art came into their own; in Brazil, mother country of concrete poetry; or in Colombia, where the abstraction represented by Eduardo Ramírez Villamizar and Fanny Sanín, among others, has flourished….” Carlos Luis

GroveHouse Artist
Featured Artist for June: Wendy Wood

“What I want from viewers of my paintings is for you to look closely into my art and imagine what is going on within its four corners. Look deep. Ask yourself what is happening? What can you feel from my use of colors, textures, background, sky and earth? Where is the motion taking you?

You will realize that a little bit of me is inside each of my paintings, looking out at you; as you are looking into my world. The wonderful thing is that I am a painter of all my times and therefore I am a goddess creating my own world. To paint on canvas is to create an everlasting wonderful power over a specific world on a canvas.” W.W.
