We held our last Introductions show in 2010 and today continue to work with fine painters from that show. The goal of Introductions is to present examples of works from both emerging and established painters that are at the same time diverse and individual as they are cohesive, complimentary and contemporary. Five artists captured the attention of our distinguished Jurors and won their place in this exhibition: Lynette Cook, James Edmonds, Lara Hoke, Hadley Northrop, and Elena Zolotnitsky. The Gallery also invited the artists that received honorable mention to contribute a work for the show so all top 10 artists are represented. They are: Amanda Bereny, Heather Capen, Diana Lee, Sonja Navin, and Deborah Stenberg-Service.ArtZone is pleased to present a talented new group of painters whom we see as having successful careers ahead of them and a great fit with our current stable of accomplished artists. Please join us for a public artists reception Saturday March 10th 5-8 pm.ABOUT THE ARTISTSElena Zolotnitsky’s inspiration is Beauty. Over the past few years her art has become increasingly personal and intimate, focusing more on the raw physicality of painting. Her medium is oil paint, sometimes using gold leaf to increase spectrum and bringing in more drama in shape. Zolotnitsky’s goal is to create paintings that are both well-crafted and probe deeply into the mystery of the medium itself, widening the spectrum of that which is portrayed. That is what art does, she thinks: “it transforms energy of labor into feelings”. Zolotnitsky earner a MFA in her native Moscow and have exhibited in the U.S since 1992 and in San Francisco since 2001.More Information:>> www.artzone461.com
