A group show featuring gallery artists' work at its smallest

“SMALL WORKS WINTER SALON”

     The list is long:
the short story
haiku
a curio cabinet
wallet photos
jewels
a glass menagerie
puppies & kittens
baby vegetables

     There has always been a fascination and interest in small things, whether on their own or in relation to their larger counterparts.  They can be precious, delicate and dear and perhaps even vulnerable.
     In small works of art there is a satisfying completeness to their essence without being a grand masterpiece, magnum opus or towering monument. The works in this show bring the viewer in to relate and interpret. Or maybe just to gaze at and appreciate. “This show is such a pleasure for me to present!  I was so inspired by the work”, from the colorful new barn series by Geoffrey Moss and the playful little still lifes and “animal” portraits by Ann Getsinger to the tiny black, white and color photographs by Sabine Vollmer von Falken and the amazing grid of watercolor cutouts by Stephanie Andersen.
     Also on view are Irmari Nacht’s unusual photo collage assemblages, Peter Dellert’s mixed media works which include tiny squares of leaves, musical notation, onion skins and wasps nests, etchings by Jo Barry, mylar transfer monotype/paintings by Carolyn Letvin, paintings on metal by Carol Gingles and Richard Britell (“but oh so different from each others’”), abstract and figurative paintings by Franco Pelligrino, and about a dozen other artists from the Berkshires and beyond.
     “Oh, and about that inspired part...you should see how I have painted the gallery this time to display all this wonderful art!” And in this time of corporate downsizing and shrinking budgets what better time to celebrate the small, the economical, and maybe the hand-held.
