February 11th – March 4, 2012
Reception: Saturday Feb. 11th, 6-9 pm

Bau Gallery is pleased to present 2 solo exhibitions by invited artists Joyce Pommer and Elisa Pritzker in their space in Beacon, NY.

In the Front Gallery, Pommer’s new abstract mixed media paintings reflect an evolving use of space on canvas and wood panels. Incorporating fabrics, papers, string and other materials, she is finding new relationships between them as they move in the space. These pieces are more minimal and less colorful than past works but define a deeper space exploring the positive and negative in the application of the materials being used. Using more of the white space of the surface, these mixed media works are visually strong yet fragile. Joyce lives and works in New York City. www.joycepommer.com

In the Project Room, Pritzker’s new works continue in the arena of photography on canvas but she is now closing in on the skins of her animal friends and the respect she has for them. “Inspired by the ever-amazing animal beauty, I portray what already is with the intention to awake true compassion towards the natural world.” These pieces become abstractions with their shapes and textures and draw one in to explore the contents - as always she is making strong statements with minimal imagery. Other works on view include mixed media sculptural forms and an installation with deer antlers.
Elisa has 2 major solo exhibitions this year in Buenos Aires, Argentina: ArtexArte Gallery, Buenos Aires Argentina and Galeria de Arte Corporación Buenos Aires Sur S.E. Argentina. She lives and works in Highland, NY. Portfolio at: www.elisapritzker.com

bau: beacon artist union was founded in the fall of 2004 by six artists and is a platform for members/artists to grow, present and market their work, collaborative curatorial projects, hosting events of related disciplines: performances, talks, film and music and building a vital link between the activities at bau and the community.

Joyce Pommer and Georg Zuter

Color Expressions
December 5 – January 29
Artist’s reception: Saturday, December 5, 4:00 – 7:00 pm

Georg Zuter and Joyce Pommer use bold, intensely contrasting colors. Except for colors, their inspirations, working processes and historical linkage are very different.

Georg Zuter was born in a small German village and trained at the Berlin Academy of Art. Zuter’s paintings are composed of precise hard-edge, uniformly colored shapes. He pre-plans and draws the contours of straight and curved shapes onto his canvas. He then paints while carefully staying within the lines of the shapes that he has drawn. Attention is also given to painting a perfectly flat uniform surface without any evidence of brushstrokes – a fete that is not easy. Zuter’s shapes and the precision of his work are remindful of geometry and architecture. They allude to the paintings of American precisionists such as Charles Scheeler, Stuart Davis and Rawlston Crawford.

Joyce Pommer was born in Quincy, Massachusetts and studied at the Art Institute of Boston, the Academy of Art College in San Francisco, and the Art Students League of New York. In contrast to Zuter, Pommer does not begin with preconceived plans. Her approach is improvisational, and her nature-inspired abstractions are freely moving. She occasionally introduces flatly painted areas to provide open relief and contrast to areas with clusters of smaller shapes. Sometimes fabrics or other materials are incorporated into her painting. Areas of the paintings are frequently open and atmospheric. Free paint handling combined with a flexible approach enable Pommer to take advantage of interesting so-called “accidents” that occur while painting. Pommer says that placing different colors next to one another presents a new direction and movement within the painting. “I see something different- a new path or a deeper space.” Pommer’s intuitive approach and trust in feelings relates to historical art such as Kandinsky’s improvisation paintings and also the American abstract expressionists’ paintings of the 1950’s.

These new mixed media works evolve spontaneously and they are unified by the materials and the process. Each completed vision portrays a sensitivity and fragility along with a strong visual image; the image is abstract but the feeling is solidified. Different papers, fabrics and gauze materials have carried these new pieces to further explorations.
