Enter David and Carter Boyajian, the wunderkind behind Sculpture Barn in Southwestern, CT as they present three women assemblage artists from the region – Erin Walrath, Eleanor White and Natasha Cohen – in ASSEMBLAGE: Pieces of Her. The show opens Sunday, September 7th and runs through Saturday, October 4th at the stunning gallery where Louise Nevelson once worked and played. The Sunday, September 7th, 4 pm to 7 pm opening reception at the Barn will also feature a short moving poetry piece by Natasha Schappert in complement to the works displayed.
Eleanor White, of Beacon, NY, echoes Walrath’s commentary: “I often use ephemeral elements in my sculpture which exemplifies the play in my work between structured form and the ever-shifting territory that is real life, organic substance and process.” A full scholarship Jacob Javits Fellow, she earned her Master of Fine Arts degree at Maryland Institute College of Art, Rinehart School of Sculpture. Her work was included in an international exhibition of women’s art in 2000, held at the Whitney Museum of Art in New York. The exhibition’s trio is completed by Natasha Cohen of Salisbury, CT. Her ‘assemblages’ challenge, provoke, humor, subvert and engage. In a recent gallery review in The New York Times, her style was compared to that of the Surrealist Max Ernst. Her work has been seen at the Aldrich Museum in Ridgefield, at the Katonah Museum of Art in Katonah, NY and in Barcelona, Spain. The sculpture and collage by Erin Walrath, Eleanor White and Natasha Cohen truly reflect the sophistication and innovation that have become Sculpture Barn trademarks. ASSEMBLAGE: Pieces of Her opens on Sunday, September 7th with a reception from 4 to 7 pm. Sculpture Barn’s Gallery hours are Wednesdays - Sundays, noon to 6 pm. Located in Southwestern, CT at 3 Milltown Road at Route 39 in New Fairfield, nestled between the Litchfield Hills to the north, the culturally rich Hudson River Valley region to the west and Fairfield county to the south. Sculpture Barn is a self supporting art center dedicated to fostering dialogue between contemporary artists, collectors, and the public through exhibitions, classes, and performance events.
