“Of Three Minds,” opens Sept. 24 at The SMI Virginia S. Block Gallery, on the second floor of the new Academy Square office building.
The show will include work by three SMI members:
Ekaterina Ermilkina, Ruth Bauer Neustadter and Bill Westheimer.
It will be curated by founding president and gallery director, Virginia Shaeffer Block.
Ekaterina Ermilkina is a painter who was born in Yalta, Ukraine, and studied art in St. Petersberg, Russia. She works with a palette knife to create colorful cityscapes inspired by her new home near New York.
Ruth Bauer Neustadter’s rich multimedia works are born out of her former career in dance. Much of her work breaks away from the traditional picture plane and moves into sculptural forms on the wall. Of her work, she says, “I want a kinesthetic response; a desire to touch, sensuality and ultimately, I want the observer to be pulled into and around each piece as in a dance.”
Photographer Bill Westheimer uses technologies as varied as 19th century wet-plate collodion negatives and 21st century digital capture and manipulation to create his “photograms.” He uses the shape and shadow of objects to create mysterious yet recognizable
and distinctive images.
