Callicoon Fine Arts moves to phase 2 of summer exhibit

CALLICOON, NY — Callicoon Fine Arts will introduce phase 2 of its summer exhibit “All Suffering Soon to End!” with an opening reception from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 18. It will feature three artists local to the Upper Delaware River Valley: Carol Hepper, Magaly Perez and Jennifer Reeves. The gallery is located at 27 Lower Main Street, Upstairs, in Callicoon, NY.

Venturing up the entry staircase and onto the gallery walls, Reeves’s ambitious mural will incorporate her signature painted-on photographs and recent collages. Perez will exhibit a series of gouaches that underscore aspects of locality by subtly referencing garden topologies, flora, fauna and shifting atmospheres. Rows of hedges and delicate tendrils in colors evocative of the landscape are the raw material of her abstract arrangements. Hepper will exhibit a sculpture and related drawings. While the pedestal commonly plays a secondary role in sculpture, for Hepper’s artwork the object and its support are bound by an almost erotic necessity—a queer dynamism where a bodily glass form is cradled by a carved, painted plywood configuration.

Phase 2 will also contain works by Eric Brown, Nicholas Knapp, Bobbie Oliver, Ted Riederer and James Woodward. “All Suffering Soon to End!” will culminate on August 22 with a tour, open to the public, of the private sculpture garden of Forrest Myers and Debra Arch Myers.
