What a pleasure it was to see the current show at Zürcher Gallery, up through September 11. I went to see the work of Mary Flinn, whose studio I'd recently visited (see an earlier post of mine) but also to see the work of fellow FB friends and one person from my distant past. Mary's dream-like images seem to emerge from color worlds that themselves seem to grow out of the images, with the images and environments moving from one to another, each referencing a Bonnardian-kind of reality only to dissipate into dreams again. Interestingly, comparing her paintings in this show to those recently at the Joyce Goldstein Gallery upstate, I felt a movement with these that started from within, moved out to my space, and then brought me back in, while the Goldstein paintings started in my world and brought me into theirs. Of the 11 artists in this show I'm also posting work by Jessica Weiss whom I've known since my student days at The Studio School and whom I was able to do a quick catch-up with, my FB friends Jane Ehrlich , Caroline K Burton whom I briefly met a few years ago and had the pleasure to meet again at the gallery, and also Jaanika Peerna, Carol Burns, Pixie Ann Alexander and Cari Rosmarin.
