Four women artists convincingly place human figures in space, each reaching that high-water mark of Western Art in their own way. Kiley Ames has a seemingly rational, systematic technique akin to pointillism that on closer inspection emits an emotional charge. Jo Weiss鈥檚 expressionist, emotional process ultimately reveals an analytical, orderly understanding of figures in space. Janice Nowinski鈥檚 paintings are brushy, mysterious, and unexpected portrayals of men in ambiguous situations. Kyle Staver鈥檚 technique is smooth and sophisticated, serving up darkly humorous tales of violence and sensuality. These artists create narratives that open our world to reflection and engagement in a way that abstraction cannot manage.
