Carter Burden Gallery presents “Resolutions” featuring works by Stephen Cimini, Vija Doks, Sylvia Harnick, Elisabeth Jacobsen, Mitch Lewis, Susan Lisbin, Carol Massa, Rifka Milder, Syma, Vera Sapozhnikova, Sheila Schwid, and Gail Winbury.
Highlighting the diverse work of thirteen gallery artists Resolutions represents a range of work from large abstract paintings to mixed media sculpture. The show is a bright, energetic, and joyful beginning to the new year; a reflection of not only the importance of artwork to society, but to the artists who create it, the viewers who bask in it, and the community that supports it. Artists include Stephen Cimini, Vija Doks, Sylvia Harnick, Elisabeth Jacobsen, Mitch Lewis, Susan Lisbin, Carol Massa, Rifka Milder, Syma, Vera Sapozhnikova, Sheila Schwid, and Gail Winbury.
Rifka Milder reflects on her abstract oil paintings and her practice as a whole, “The power of art and painting is all-encompassing to me. There was never a time in my life that art wasn't one of the most important aspects.” Elisabeth Jacobsen shares the inspiration behind her free-standing sculptural work, “Growing up in a family that appreciated and engaged in making music, I also reflected on that specific history. The name “Guest Conductor” is dedicated to my brother, who conducted orchestras and bands in upstate NY.”
