Opening reception: Thursday, February 4th, 5-7pm Artist's Reception: Saturday, February 13th, 2-4pm Natasha Shawver (b. 1960) Using organic earth pigments in a natural palette, Natasha Shawver's cartoon figuration becomes almost pure abstraction. With a collage aesthetic, her work integrates cells of solid color and texture, sometimes mixing sand into the pigments for depth. Oddly whimsical yet sober, her brut figures hide within abstract, loose geometries. Ernie Shawver (1936 – 2005) Toothpicks, papier-mache and cardboard (fugitive materials) make up the obsessive architecture and fluid logic of this posthumous exhibition of Ernie Shawver's intricate structures.
