PAST: ART: Opening for "Without Proof. Open Ended." at Adah Rose Gallery in Kensington, MD Tonight, SAT, Nov 19th 6:30pm - 8:30pm, Free

Opening Reception for “Without Proof. Open Ended.” by Thierry Guillemin and Amanda Horowitz
Saturday, November 19th
6:30pm - 8:30pm
Free
On view November 16th - December 18th


The opening will also have live musical entertainment by The White Chihuahua, Rock with Roots.


Beginning with a single application of his palette knife, Thierry Guillemin draws energy from his inner emotional state and transfers it onto the canvas. Painting for Thierry is an improvisational act with his movements inspired by jazz music and its studied duality of spontaneity and discipline. 


Questioning the boundaries of materials and mediums, Amanda Horowitz embraces the inherent ambiguity of physical works of art. Her show explores two themes: “Navigation” and “Density for Dim Light.” In the first, she paints on glass and then photographs each painting with a different background environment, thus creating a collaboration between material, perspective, and light in an attempt to explore notions of controls and constants. In the second, hand-felted sheets become “nomads,” or organic sculptures that evoke movement and the ambiguous function of art.
