You're invited to the Opening Reception of the Dan and Carmen Show at the Atlantic Works Gallery. Hear both artists lead a discussion on art-making.

This month Carmen Sasso and Dan Hofstadter return to offer two solo shows suggesting two different approaches to representational art.

Dan offers a sampling of thirty years of freehand drawing.

These show a variety of subjects, including portraits of friends and family, figure pieces, and a suite of monotypes.

The latter, composed from fantasy in a direct technique the artist picked up while teaching primary-school art classes, explore several shadowy themes that have haunted his imagination.

Other drawings, executed in willow charcoal, pen-and-ink, and ink wash, create a concrete impression of people known and places lived.
Carmen’s show offers mixed-media paintings that explore off-beat stylistic combinations.

Some of the pieces juxtapose northern Renaissance perspective and abstract expression ; others pair conscious rendition with unconscious discoveries or the visual translation of sound.

Still others quote historical masterpieces in a resonant decidedly present-day context.
** Join both artists on Saturday, May 8, at the Gallery when they will lead an open discussion on art making.
