"Nice to Meet You", Opening at Sloan Fine Art Tonight

Pieces in the show include:
-(One of the few drawings of the show) "Eyes" by Clem Coleman, rife with his signature weaving of visual and phonetic puns!
-David Humphrey's "Stump" in which organic forms are rendered to inhabit each other's symbolic spaces in curious ways that seem to form a bizarre conversation between beings and abyss.
-Julie Heffernan's "Study for Self-Portrait as Heap", wherein varied mark-making and lush forms shroud every inch of the figure's world, while she somehow seems to retain the ability to move freely within the space at any moment she pleases.
-Jennifer Coates' "Remainder", which combines atmospheric and graphic painting in a peculiarly joyous harmony.
-Catherine Howe's “Proserpina (Pinks)”, a vivid swarm of warm spaces full of motion and the tones you might see painted inside a gypsy caravan.
-John Jacobsmeyer's mysterious still life, "No Pudding"
... and so many more delights I wish I had time to name.
