September 2nd at 2pm<\/strong>. Aaron Levi Garvey, chief curator of The Hudson Eye, will foster a<\/p>\n dynamic discussion between the painter and the sculptor.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Recent artworks by Marks and Sultan are on view at SEFA Hudson through October 3rd\u2014the<\/p>\n first exhibition for each artist with the Gallery. This presentation interweaves Marks\u2019<\/p>\n intimately-scaled paintings of abstracted vistas with Sultan\u2019s architectonic wooden sculptures.<\/p>\n Together, their works explore and expand relationships between color and form, and<\/p>\n interpretations of space and dimensionality, by transforming the structures and landscapes<\/p>\n surrounding us.\u00a0For more information on the exhibition and available artworks, visit\u00a0susaneleyfineart.com\/Detail\/exhibitions\/199<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n RSVP requested (but not required) for the event with Marks, Sultan and Levi on September<\/p>\n 2nd. Please email liz@susaneleyfineart.com<\/a> to RSVP, or with any questions. Face mask<\/p>\n required for all visitors at SEFA Hudson.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Barbara Marks<\/strong><\/a> is a multidisciplinary artist currently based in the New Haven, CT area. Marks<\/p>\n creates sumptuous, multicolored compositions that evolved from the lineage of both traditional<\/p>\n landscape painting and modernist abstraction. On view at SEFA Hudson, the paintings from<\/p>\n Marks\u2019 series \u201cPainting[s] from Recollection\u201d are rendered in her characteristic square shape,<\/p>\n and they comprise a visual record of places that she has visited. Upon closer<\/p>\n observation\u2014walls, angles and perspective lines\u2014interiors and landscapes\u2014emerge. Viewers<\/p>\n find themselves teetering into curious, liminal spaces between abstraction and representation,<\/p>\n where reality slips into dream states.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Joe Sultan<\/strong> was trained as an architect and currently lives and works in Germantown, NY.<\/p>\n Literally rooted in the nature of the Hudson Valley\u2014the artist builds his sculptures with sticks<\/p>\n and branches that he hand-cuts from fallen trees and logs. He uses a chainsaw and chisels to<\/p>\n mine for the forms within each piece of wood, and next begins the additive part of his process:<\/p>\n connecting and intertwining the fragments together to create sculptures that are sensitive to<\/p>\n space\u2014how it is enclosed, defined and balanced. On view at SEFA Hudson, Sultan\u2019s skeletal<\/p>\n sculptures are not to be looked at, but rather looked through.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Susan Eley Fine Art, Hudson is pleased to participate as a headlining gallery in The Hudson<\/p>\n Eye festival, taking place from August 27 to September 6, 2021.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.susaneleyfineart.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/BM-JS-Install-Views-29-1024x735.jpg\")
