GREAT LINE UP OF JUST A FEW OF THE AMAZING ARTISTS IN THE AREA.  

ANDREA DEZSO GALLERY

I created this body of work during the pandemic. It was directly inspired by Adam’s experimental sumi ink painting. Watching Adam’s daily practice and hearing him talk about what he wanted to create, the behavior of different paper surfaces, water pushing against ink directing its path, got me curious to try this for myself. I worked with kitakata (gampi) paper which I painted with liquid watercolors first. The process I developed is a call and response with the materials — I made a set of quick ink gestures on the wet surface of the paper at night, then placed a sheet of glass with heavy weights on top of the paper and left the studio. In the morning I found the image that developed from my initial ink gestures and the reaction of the water pushing against the gestures under pressure. 

ADAM GURVITCH GALLERY

Adam Gurvitch is a self-taught artist. His process involves careful observation and intuitive handling of materials to express relationships with the natural world. Adam films while snorkeling and hiking, drawing inspiration for painting, sculpting, and printmaking. He favors direct, immediate ways of improvising by hand, allowing chance to shape imagery.   Visit Adam's artist tab to learn more.
