Art Exhibition 'Broken Vessels' by Christine Swann and 'Day Dreaming' by Patrick Lee

On Oct 8 from 5-8pm the Christine Frechard Gallery has the opening reception for the show, ‘Broken Vessels & Day Dreaming by Christine Swann & Patrick Lee.

Painter Christine Swann (Broken Vessels) creates portraits on wood then cuts them up with a bandsaw then recreates them with gold leaf covering the fractures.  The effect is both window-like and spatial.  The viewer has to look past the gold leaf seams ‘into’ the painting thus creating both space and fantasy.  Her paintings are featured in the Pittsburgh quarterly:

Breaking and Healing

Patrick Lee (Day Dreaming) pays close attention to his drawing, color and spatial relationships to create moody, abstract figuration which suggest more than the eye is shown.  Like Ms. Swann, Mr. Lee expands on the language of figurative art to create paintings which appeal to emotions and imagination.
