Multiple Choice

Multiple Choice includes work by nine artists that ranges from still-life and portrait paintings to large figurative and abstract sculptures. Dale Emmart presents a series of still-life paintings, which glow with light and color; Kenneth Aptekar exhibits two diptychs which juxtapose portraits to suggest an ambiguous narrative; Madeleine Hatz creates a brooding atmosphere in her textural paintings; Andius Balukas depicts classical, floating heads and ruined cities in his drawings; the paintings of Jackie Battenfield incorporate bright color and are marked by an intriguing use of space. Gabriel Koren has constructed a large-scale male figure out of wet clay; the wall sculptures of John Albers suggest violence in their depiction of fragmented human forms; Joe Neil meticulously constructs wood or transparent plastic hemispheres that feature abstract images; Leslie Sills’ painted structures take the form of animals or nests and resemble old-fashioned peep shoes into which the viewer peers.
