Artist Talk: Robin Adler, Karen Allen and Eileen Sackman: “Taking Stock”

  • BAU Gallery 506 Main Street Beacon, NY, 12508 United States (map)

Join Robin Adler, Karen Allen and Eileen Sackman for a conversation about the inspiration for their group show, Bone Broth. Just as a skeleton supports an organism, the bones of a composition and materials dictate artistic form. Together, these artists explore the limits of the structures beneath: how much pressure and strain a foundation can endure before deteriorating, and the tension required to bring a creative vision to life. Through translucency and light, abstract figuration and shadows, and emotional tone, Adler, Allen, and Sackman seek to unearth the beauty of structure within each of their works.

Working in various media—including oil, acrylic, wax, and ink—Adler transcribes emotional experience into visual form.
