Description
The Art Museum of Los Gatos presents Two Apart: Works by Cuong Nguyen; and Ourselves and Others: Works by Mary Ann Henderson, Deborah Matlack and Claire Verbiest, March 15-April 27, 2012.Cuong Nguyen’s intimate portraits are rich in ambience and emotion. His installation juxtaposes paintings to suggest intricate interpersonal relationships. In the artists’ words, “My paintings depend on the dramatic portrayal of light, shadow and environment to create their mood and sense of realism.” Two Apart will show in the upstairs galleries at The Art Museum of Los Gatos.
The downstairs galleries will feature Ourselves and Others: Mary Ann Henderson, Deborah Matlack and Claire Verbiest, a portraits exhibition by the three local and well-known artists. The exhibition, hung salon style, is a meditation on the human figure. In describing her passion about the subject Claire Verbiest frequently refers to words by Mary Jean Mailloux, “There is nothing as humbling as drawing, sketching, painting the human body. Young, old, middle aged, it is such a think of beauty and wonder.”
