The Wind River Paintings: The Yukon Territory
Johnny Robertson's newest paintings continue to explore the emotive impact of the landscape communicated through monochromatic color, stark imagery and scale. These formal decisions reveal a sensibility toward distance or isolation. Many of the images originated on the road between Texas and California and capture a highly romantic notion in the tradition of American landscape painting. The saturation of light and the density of atmosphere replace the majesty of terra firma.
Martin Delabano
Consensus Reality
The root of Martin Delabano's works past and present is his reliance on nostalgic elements that create a unified whole. Mr. Delabano imbues his sculptures and assemblages with this ethos successfully balancing quiet spirituality with formal art principles. Blue Mood, a seated woman fashioned from lathed wood and an old straw hat, reflects both a careful study of cubism and a personal affinity for primitive found object art.
