Coming to Gallery West in October 2012
"Dimensions"
An Exhibition of 2-D and 3-D Artwork
by Ceramic Artist Daiva Balkus
and Photographer Ruth Ann Lowery
October 3 – Nov. 4, 2012
Artists Reception: Saturday, October 6, 5-8 pm
Gallery West is pleased to present Dimensions, featuring the work of ceramics artist Daiva Balkus and photographer Ruth Ann Lowery.
Combining these three-dimensional and two-dimensional art forms into
one show offers a unique and richly diverse art experience.
Daiva Balkus
became committed to ceramic art due to the tactile nature of clay, the
ability to use her love of color and paint when applying glazes, and the
challenge of making work that shows the supple, flexible nature of the
material in the final form of its hard and glassy state. She enjoys
making soft, voluptuous pieces that frequently include contrasting
hard-edged features. She loves exploring the rich history of pottery
making and ceramic sculpture and finds inspiration in virtually every
period of great pottery making. Currently she is experimenting with
creating shapes and forms that surprise and delight ~ forms that reach
or slump or push out in some unexpected way, and creating ways for form
and surface to sing together.
Ruth Ann Lowery
approaches photography as a tool for more closely observing and
experiencing the places and people she encounters, and ultimately for
making connections with viewers. By sharing images of the world as she
perceives it, she seeks to communicate and share a common wonder at the
subtle order, dignity and beauty that waits to be seen in places both
expected and unexpected. Ruth Ann’s passion for creating images
recently took her to New York City, where she worked to uncover new
layers of -- and capture beautiful human moments in -- this singularly
unique urban landscape. The result is Bytes of the Big Apple: NYC in Digital Photographs,
featuring images of scales large and small, and ranging from the grit
of the city’s subway system to rarified images of style and fashion.
She recently expanded the project to also include images of Chicago.
You can see more of Ruth Ann’s work, which available as archival digital
prints and fine gallery wraps, at www.nuancedviews.com.
