Atlantic Gallery Dialogues January 2016
I was invited by Ruby Silvious to participate in this exhibition at the Atlantic Gallery in Chelsea. My work on the left was chosen to respond to her print, on the right.

Ruby Silvious and
Mimi Czajka Graminski are showing works inspired directly or indirectly by a
recent Matisse exhibition. The connection was an indirect one stemming from the
images stored in the subconscious. Both artists were influenced by the cutouts
of Matisse but they took that inspiration in different directions. Silvious’
forms, while abstract, have references to Matisse’s botanical shapes.
Graminski’s are also undulating and bulbous but they have a figurative quality. Both Ruby Silvious and
Mimi Czajka Graminski reside in the Hudson Valley and are known for their
2 and 3 dimensional work.
