In English the word
"studio" refers to the working space where a painter, a photographer
or a sculptor brings his or her creation to life. In Italian, however,
"studio" also refers to a study on a certain subject, a drawing, an
elaboration, as well as a model for a future application. It also means
space for either a private or public exhibit.
Co-curator, Giovanni Iovane
talks about Marrocco's exhibition, "'Red Studio' is the name of the
exhibit and of the large-scale painting hanging in the gallery's main
space. The exhibit's key piece is part of Franco Marroco's recent body of
work, who turns his daily painting practice into a "study." The study
is an original and singular characteristic of the pictorial process and
space. A space with a view,"
The art of Venice resident J.J. L’Heureux has been shown in
museums around the world. She is most well known for her photography, she is
also a painter, she also create collage and mixed media works. For this
show her collages have been chosen…L’Heureux calls them “Etichette.”
Her annual treks to the Antarctic not only are the subject of
her photography, which has been sought after by museums across the world, but
they also inspire her to create in other mediums.
The artist has been featured in solo exhibitions at Kansas
University Natural History Museum, Lawrence, Kansas, Detroit Zoo, Ford
Gallery, Royal Oak, Michigan, SoZo Gallery, Dothan, Alabama, Madison
Children’s Museum, Madison, Wisconsin.
