Jane Ehrlich
October 8 through November 5

Working with extremes, stark contrasts and atypical materials, Jane Ehrlich paints canvases that show movement as well as rigidity. A painting, for her, is all about the negotiation of complex elements. She creates a controlled flow suspended in time. Her white paint is derived from Gofun, a pigment of aged, pulverized oyster shells traditionally used in Japanese painting. It is then binded with glue to affix to the support medium. Ehrlich studied at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and The Brooklyn Museum School. She has exhibited nationally and spends her time in Hudson, NY and West Palm Beach, FL.

Birkenes now focuses on his painting as well as serving as Delray Art League’s Chairman of Indoor Art Exhibits. His latest series, “Fantasies in Space,” showcases his abstract expressionistic style and his interpretation of the exquisite beauty that is found in outer space. fineartamerica.com/profiles/robert-birkenes.html
