Armonk, NY (March 17 – April 15, 2007) The Studio: An Alternative Space for Contemporary Art is pleased to host a solo exhibition of works by Joyce Wenglowksi, a painter and mixed media artist. The show, entitled The Power of Color: The Power of The Brush, will include Ms. Wenglowski’s newest series of paintings, which have been described as “rich in chromatic and gestural strength.” (Gillian Greenhill Hannum) In creating these works, Ms. Wenglowski has used luscious colors, such as chartreuse, turquoise, tangerine, and azure, and her bold brushwork is an appropriate complement to these bold colors.

The artist has explained her creative process as follows:

“ In these works I am continuing to explore my fascination with color. What a joy it is to work with these highly saturated hues from the South Pacific! Daily, I look forward to the challenge of balancing color, form, and energetic brushwork.”

Wenglowski began her training at the Rochester Institute of Technology and graduated with a BFA cum laude in painting from Manhattanville College. She has worked for the past 26 years in her studios in Katonah, New York and Deer Isle, Maine. Wenglowski exhibits her paintings and mixed media works in galleries, museums, and colleges across the region. Her art is included in private and corporate collections, including Pfizer, PepsiCo, and Goldman Sachs and Co. Wenglowski also shares her talents by participating in community outreach programs. Recently, she created an 18 foot interactive painting for The Cancer Care Center in Northern Westchester Hospital in Mt.Kisco, NY. She currently serves on two art advisory boards and is a facilitator for a number of local art programs.

In conjunction with this exhibition, the Studio is pleased to present Seduced by Color: Joyce Wenglowski and the Painterly Tradition, a lecture by Gillian Greenhill Hannum, Professor of Art History at Manhattanville College. Ms. Hannum will discuss the work of Joyce Wenglowski within the historical context of the “painterly” tradition, which originated with the Venetian painters of the Renaissance. Ms. Hannum will also talk about the expressive color and brushwork of Delacroix, Gauguin, Matisse and the Abstract Expressionists as groundwork for the understanding and appreciation of Ms. Wenglowski’s work. This lecture will be presented on April 15th at 4pm. Reservations are required for this event, and there will be a $5.00 admission fee.

The Studio is open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays from 1pm to 5pm during exhibitions and by appointment. The Studio is located at 2 Maryland Avenue in Armonk. For reservations, appointments during the week or directions please call Katie Stratis at (914) 273-1452 or visit the web site at www.thestudiony-alternative.org.
