Opening Reception June 17, 3-6 p.m.; Ballroom Dancing July 8, 3-6 p.m.

New York, N.Y. - Joyce Weidenaar, a painter and printmaker, will debut a series of works on June 13 at Pleiades Gallery, 547 West 27th Street, Suite 304. The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday, 12-6 p.m. It is situated steps away from the entrance to the High Line in the Chelsea neighborhood.

Color Burst is an exhibit of 20 oil paintings and 16 monoprints. Weidenaar’s paintings are exuberant and colorful. Closeup treatment of subjects generate abstractions. “I am interested in depicting everyday objects that do not otherwise attract our attention. Putting those subjects front and center challenge our view of their pictorial value.”

Weidenaar’s monoprints explore textures in innovative ways. Feathers, weeds, strings, ribbons, and leaves feature prominently but are often unrecognizable within the patterns they form.

On July 8 from 3-6 p.m. there will be ballroom dancing in the gallery.

This is Weidenaar’s second New York solo exhibition. She has exhibited throughout the United States in national juried and invitational exhibitions. Her work appears in print in The Golden Thread Project.
