SKY BURIAL, A series of collages on paper, 2024
Presently BIRDS seem to RETURN in an impeccable way as part of a new personal creative impulse. In 2018 they were the subject of 30 mono prints: ‘The Language of the Birds” (Museum of Goa, 2019). Now they are back to inspire new drawings, recalling an ancient burial practice in a unique winged way when recycling human physicality after death. In Tibet and Nepal, vultures facilitate a universal and inevitable transition from Earth to the Sun. |

NEW DRAWINGS BY GENIE PORETZKY-LEE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13 2024 TO JANUARY 15, 2025 Come and join us for some mulled wine, 6pm - 8pm on December 13th. BIO: Genie Poretzky-Lee was classically trained in drawing and sculpture at the Academie Julian in Paris. She continued training in textiles when she moved to London and co-founded 'Fibre Art' in the UK, alongside Professor Janis Jeffries. Her inspiration was abstraction and alchemy, and developed into painting in the early and mid 90's. Her work started to include organic materials like sand, crystals, and paper creating a textured surface. Pastels were a more fragile medium, inspired by geometry, the relationship to the square, the movement of line, and lines in space. Her 3D work and installations included sound and light, all of which deepened the idea of exhibition as being simultaneously experiential as well as a space for communal sharing. www.drawing-a-year.com |
