In conjunction with Building Upon The Past, Page Bond Gallery is pleased to present Spheres of Influence, a selection of recent work by Mira Hecht.
Mira Hecht’s “Close to Home” series is another step in her exploration of the formal, emotional, and spiritual properties of the circle. Her intuitive, mandala-like compositions, reminiscent of light refracted through water droplets, have gained much critical acclaim. They are simultaneously dynamic and quiet, strengthened by tensions between surface and depth, and positive and negative space. “The circle is a vast and mysterious form filled with potential. Inspired by my own contemplative practice and glimpses of perfection within the mind’s eye, each painting is meant to be a small gesture of exaltation, pointing to joy, connection and wholeness,” Hecht says. Her canvases have a meditative quality that rewards extended viewing.
An opening reception for the artists [took] place at the Page Bond Gallery on Friday, March 1, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. The exhibition will remain on view through April 1, 2013.
The Page Bond Gallery, located at 1635 West Main Street, exhibits contemporary art in a wide variety of media and disciplines including painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture and ceramics. The gallery acts as a venue for the work of emerging and established artists with local, national, and international reputations.

Style Weekly has a great write-up on Megan Marlatt’s Substitutions for a Game Never Played at VisArts on Main street:
“Substitutions for a Game Never Played,” on display at the Visual Arts Center, spans a decade of paintings that use small subjects to explore large themes, such as mass consumerism and environmental waste. The excess speaks for itself, walking the line between a critical eye and a sense of complicity with the disposable objects of amusement. There’s an innocent fun and a menacing, almost sinister quality in the work that both delights and unsettles. Viewers quickly realize they’re seeing these scenes with the simultaneous perspectives of child and adult, both excited to pick through the colorful piles to find a new playmate, yet just a little disturbed by the overwhelming rubble.
The exhibition will remain on display through March 13.

UniArt opening Friday at Artemis Gallery:
UniArt Studio Mixed Media & Photography was created by two artists, Karen Mastenbroek and Tunde Hidvegi. After the two women had met, they realized that by combining their unique talents, together they can take art to a different level.
The name “UniArt” comes from the abbreviation of You and I Art, referring to the two artists.
Karen Mastenbroek is a photographer, based in the Netherlands. She became interested in photography at age 14 when an exchange student from the USA came to live with her family. The two of them took trips together and during that time, Karen discovered her growing desire to capture the images they saw, so that they would stay with her permanently. Her love affair with the camera stretched into her adulthood. She took her first photography workshop in 1981, after which she landed a commission to do a documentary of local projects, financed by the city of Almelo, Netherlands. During her extensive travels, she took numerous images. Her main interests are nature, urban landscapes that include not only decaying buildings but also random shots of their human dwellers, and graffiti, among other things. She says “I like to travel because when I am on the move, I become my own camera, constantly looking for that image that will speak to my heart the most, be it people, landscapes, animals or just a dying flower on the dry and cracking ground.”
Tunde has been doing mixed media art over 15 years and now her work can be seen at U.S. galleries, as well as in buildings, churches and in private homes in Virgina. She shown her work at the Artemis Gallery 3 times before, first her paintings, then her mosaic art and finally her mixed media project. Karen’s photos inspired Tunde to learn the technique of transferring photo images onto wood by using gel medium.
