Description: Sculptures by Thaddeus G. Mosley
Artist Thad Mosley, a regional icon, digs deep into art history, jazz, heritage and himself to create emotive, freestanding sculptures. Tactile, sensuous and universal in their appeal, these sculptures are comparable in execution and confidence to works by other established artists such as Constantin Brancusi and Isamu Noguchi, as well as to African art. Visitors often find that Mosley’s pieces transcend generational, cultural and educational boundaries.

Solo Series 2010 - Steven Baris, Virginia Bradley, Erica Zoe Loustau & Juri Kim Oliva |
Top |
| |
Description: This year's Solo Series continues with four artists carefully selected by a curatorial committee for simultaneous solo exhibitions in our four gallery spaces on view September 11 through November 28, 2010.
Steven Baris (Bala Cynwyd) categorizes his paintings as “spatial images” where geometric color blocks reference the constructed environment in our extensively built-up region. In Virginia Bradley’s (Philadelphia) printmaking and mixed media work is a dialogue between the printed image and her experience as a traveler, collector and voyeur, a “synthesis of these ingredients.” The sculptural installation by Erica Zoë Loustau (West Grove) focuses on the human tendency to desire that which is elusive. Represented by a flock of birds, Loustau finds a wonderful aspect of humanity in this futility. Language, science, logic and emotion are the basis for paintings by Juri Kim Oliva (Philadelphia). Oliva incorporates tools of language that are meant to enhance, but may also limit, the power of communication.
