Sept. 23: Shoshana Dentz, painter. "My paintings lie in the intersection between abstraction and representation, and explore the relationship between aesthetics and content, between seeing and interpreting," Dentz says. "The imagery is sourced in the living world, chosen for its formal beauty and metaphorical potential. Its factuality is translated and transcended through abstraction and the handmade, physical commitment of making and building paintings." Dentz will show work completed over the past five years, from early abstract paintings to a series exploring the pattern of the Kuffieh, the headscarf worn as a statement for Palestinian nationalism and discuss the progression to her current paintings of fences in which the chain-link pattern repeats the Kuffieh motif. Dentz lives and works in Brooklyn. Recent exhibitions include "Playpen," The Drawing Center and "On Paper," Nicole Klagsbrun Gallery and solo exhibitions at Angles Gallery, Los Angeles, 2004; Nicole Klagsbrun, 2002; and White Columns, 1998.
