PRESS RELEASE: For Immediate Release
Washington, DC — 1 March 2005. “Resonance goes beyond exhibition. It is an experience; an environment,” states Anne C. Fisher about the upcoming exhibition. Resonance, abstract paintings by John M. Adams and biomorphic sculptures by Frances Sniffen opens 8 March and continues through 9 April at the Anne C. Fisher Gallery.
Adams’ paintings are visual meditations both in the process of their creation and in the process of viewing the works. Adams accomplishes this contemplative quality through masterful application of numerous layers of paint, creating tension between atmospheric random marks and horizontal line or by juxtaposing a textural paint surface with slick, subtle panel. The result is the fusion of the art, the process, the experience and the viewer into an inseparable, symbiotic whole.
Sniffen’s work is abstract and intuitive. Her compelling biomorphic forms suggest living organisms, ever-changing and moving. Sniffen’s sculptures rendered in bronze, cast aluminum, rubber and hydrocal and incorporating provocative elements such as hair and fur are wonderfully varied in their surface colors and textures. They are evocative and enigmatic, expressing primal and spiritual aspects of mind and body.
In celebration of Resonance, Washington Area Certified Movement Analysts, under the direction of Karen Bradley, CMA, will create a movement choir on the theme of resonance at Canal Square, Friday, 18 March at 6pm, prior to the Resonance reception. The movement choir is a nearly century-old combination of performance and community participatory dance involving everyday movement. It is based on the work of visionary Rudolf Laban about whom Bradley is currently completing a book.
The public is invited to attend an Artist Talk on Sunday, 13 March at 2pm. Two receptions will be held- the Canal Square Third Friday Reception on Friday, 18 March, 6pm-8pm with the movement choir at 6pm and Friday, 1 April, 6pm-8pm. More information at 202.625.7555, or www.annecfishergallery.com.
