Tria Gallery's Winter White Exhibition Features Nine Artists Exploring Snowbound Themes

Tria Gallery presented "Winter White," an exhibition running from December 10, 2009, to January 21, 2010, at 531 West 25th Street in New York City. Nine artists created works inspired by the expression "winter white," resulting in seven paintings, one inkjet print, and one sculpture. Howard Kalish contributed the sculpture "Snowflake," a two-foot diameter globe made of semi-transparent acrylic rods. Andrew Millner's inkjet print "Winter White (Wavehill Magnolia)" depicts a delicate tree on a six-by-four-foot field using hand-drawn white lines on dark brown. Three white-on-white abstract acrylic paintings were shown: Sue Contessa's "Crystal," Serena Bocchino's "From the White Series," and Alexandre Guillaume's "Adrift," a 56-by-48-inch vertical work with gestural elements. Four paintings incorporated other colors with white: Jenny Nelson's oil "Winter Sun," Daniel Rosenbaum's large mixed-media "Blizzard" (72 by 60 inches) with Minoan ceramic-like patterns, Michela Martello's mixed-media "White" featuring a classical statue, and Francine Tint's "Dream Life of Angels," a 30-by-78-inch oil and acrylic with sweeping bands. The exhibition explored associations with snow and light through diverse media and approaches.
