THE CAROLYN FIEDLER-ALBER GALLERY - Schedule

MICHAEL ROSSMAN
Two Decades of Drawings
Feb. 13 - March 23

Gallery Cocktail/Fundraiser Reception:
Saturday, March 3, 7:00 - 9:30pm
$25 per person (make your reservations)

Philadelphia artist Michael Rossman is known for his exclusive interest in drawing. Using graphite as his primary medium, Rossman's work is characterized by his innate sense of mark making, most often, an extensive series of lines from which a landscape will emerge.

Rossman has established a visual vocabulary that is simultaneously abstract and representational. It is systemized yet spontaneous. His drawings appear to be created, built-up, and realized in a natural, organic way like the landscape itself. Rossman has said that he uses the line to see and to better understand the forms and spaces within his scope of vision. His drawings provide a glimpse of his thought process as energized marks and feverish lines reveal an intriguing spatial complexity.

Mr. Rossman will be having a second show of additional works titled Ten Thousand Storms at the Cerulean Gallery in Philadelphia, Feb. 29 - March. 31. Opening Reception for the Cerulean Gallery Show: Friday Mar 2, 5 - 8pm.

SANDI PIERANTOZZI & NEIL PATTERSON - NEIGHBORHOOD POTTERS
April 2 - 27

Gallery Cocktail/Fundraiser Reception:
Saturday, April 7, 7:00 - 9:30pm
$25 per person (make your reservations)

Sandi and Neil's work is created in the rich cultural environment of the Fairmount neighborhood, surrounding the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Together, they are the Neighborhood Potters. They choose to make functional pottery because it enriches daily living. Pots help us connect with people on a very basic human level. In these times of fast food, where so much food is eaten out of paper, plastic or styrofoam, they feel that hand made pottery can bring some soul into the daily rituals of eating and drinking.
