Summer Selection is a group exhibition that brings together a collection of works by sixteen artists that feature a range of painting, collage, sculpture, and mixed media works. In his first exhibition with Carter Burden Gallery, Matthew Turov presents two vibrant geometric paintings that reflect his interest in duality. Turov states, “I look at the many ways that nature-based and system-based forms can be made to interact within a field of colors which themselves contain sequences of varying degrees of predetermination or spontaneity. I paint across line, rhythm, color, luminosity, harmony and vitality, moved by the balance of emotion and perception, joy and logic, the intuitive and the analytical.” With the ubiquitous plastic bags accumulated from grocery stores and other commercial establishments, Laurie Russell presents wall reliefs created using yarn to sew the bags onto burlap that is stretched over a frame. The plastic bags have varying degrees of transparency which allows her to combine colors in layers, thus enriching them, and to play with the text and graphics on the bags. Laurie Russell explains, “The bags, too, are fraught with contemporary content—as symbols of consumerism, eco-consciousness, and carbon foot printing.”

Artists include: Elisabeth Jacobsen, Beth Barry, Cari Rosmarin, Cassandra Jennings-Hall, Gail Winbury, Howard Nathenson, Jennifer Woolcock-Schwartz, Karin Bruckner, Laurie Russell, Lee Apt, Madlyn Goldman, Matthew Turov, Nieves Saah, Sue Dean, Susan Grucci, and Syma.
