Marcia Wood Gallery

Escape into the world of Stone Soup: Expanded.....access at the link in our bio. DM to Inquire about artwork by Lucinda Bunnen, David Humphrey, and Don Pollack. . . We are pleased to present a slice of each artist’s oeuvre, including work currently up at the gallery, a studio visit with David Humphrey @aikenhump , a selection of Lucinda Bunnen’s @lbunnen impressive publication history, and the background story of Don Pollack’s @crossing_the_great_divide epic bicycle journey ...from Illinois to D.C. that inspired a new body of work. . . During this interminable period of not being physically together, we had a vision to compile something that resembled community. It has been a great pleasure and honor to look back at the impressive work of our artists; creative work that is so important to inspire hope, beauty, and curiosity in the world. We look forward to continuing this online exhibition with more of our artists before leaping into the boundless shifting that will happen at the gallery in 2021! More on that soon! . . . . . . . #stonesoup #stonesoupexpanded #onlineexhibition #studiovisit #marciawoodgallery #lucindabunnen #davidhumphrey #donpollack #photgraphy #abstractpainting #landscapepainting #hope #future See more

Don Pollack’s paintings in our latest roundup of Stone Soup require a second look. All can be accessed via the link in bio. First image: Untitled, 2007, oil on canvas, 41 x 50 inches. DM to Inquire. . . The second work is from Pollack’s 2011 series Far From Home, inspired by a 2,000 mile bicycle journey from Springfield, IL to Washington, D.C. .... . In Pollack’s own words: My work comes from journeys and travel. Moving through the landscape, the presence of history saturates the experience. Painting oil on canvas, performance, and installations,I am interested in experiencing the landscape,past traumas and revelations eventually speak to the violent conflict on perspectives of the land, the spaces we inhabit, inextricably forget that we are a part of, we conquer, and we picture. Through a physical journey, the measures of my work attempts to make a space for knowing the North American landscape. . . . . . . . . #donpollack #marciawoodgallery #oilpainting #stonesoup #stonesouppartthree #onlineexhibition #galleryexhibition #atlantagallery #saic #cycle #americanlandscapepainting #landscapepainting See more

Can you relate to that heart-fluttering feeling caused by a mixture of excited confusion, lust/love, and of seeing something for the first time? Each turn of this 200+ page monograph of David Humphrey’s @aikenhump paintings slowly crescendos that feeling. I usually like to slowly work my way through images in books but this one cajoles you into turning the page. It was published by @fredericksandfreiser and is available on their site. We also have a copy in the gallery that w...ill be available to devour as part of Stone Soup: Part Three. Our parallel online exhibition, Stone Soup: Expanded, with lots of work by David Humphrey, Don Pollack, and Lucinda Bunnen goes live tomorrow! . . . . . . . . . #davidhumphrey #monograph #marciawoodgallery #stonesoup #stonesoupexpanded #artbook #atlantagallery #newyorkartist #abstractpainting #onlineexhibition See more

We are mesmerized and enchanted by Lucinda Bunnen’s new book of her series Weathered Chromes, made from slides in her archive that she left on her deck for nature to alter. The resulting images are unspeakably evocative and in her own words tell a story of time, place, and the delicate nature of the source material . . We are pleased to share a selection from the book Constant Impermanence, beautifully designed by Laurie Shock @laurieshock and available for purchase on... lucindabunnen.com. . . The book will also be in the gallery as part of Stone Soup: Part Three opening this week. . . More from Lucinda...I'm creating a book that focuses on my weathered chrome images. During the editing process, my book team and I were struck by how the creative process and the resulting images were a visual metaphor for the impermanence of life, especially now given the global pandemic. While most of us are creatures of habit and exist with the illusion that we are in control our lives, our worlds are actually in a constant state of change and transformation on every level of existence. In our minds, this body of work illustrates it in a beautiful and magical way. It brought to mind the Buddhist doctrine of Annicca, and that our bodies and minds and universe are in a constant state of transition, deconstruction, and transformation. That led to our tilting the book, Constant Impermanence. We feel as though every aspect of this process: the decay and transformation of the slides, the eroding images reborn into abstract beauty, are truly a mirror of the constant impermanence in our lives. . . . . @lbunnen #constantimpermanence #weatheredchromes #lauriesshock #artbook #marciawoodgallery #stonesoup #stonesouppartthree #galleryexhibition #onlineexhibition #sneakpeek #lucindabunnen #photography #kodachrome #abstract #processphotography See more

These paintings are like those quiet friends you have to sit down and chat with until they reveal their subtle mysteries. They are part of Timothy McDowell’s newest series Veneer Paintings in which he seamlessly juxtaposes his vault of image-making magicianry. In McDowell’s own words: . In these paintings, viewers do not have to understand how the space exists as if it were real, instead they can accept the picture plane as a portal to a surreal geometry that subverts th...e rules of linear perception and defines a new logic, a new formalism...... Here, the history of art becomes an endless treasure for one to mine, manipulate, juxtapose and reference. . . You can catch a glimpse of the second painting, Blind Love in Timothy McDowell’s studio in his quarantine studio visit on our IGTV series Postcards from a Pandemic . . In order: Cake Maker Blind Love Sea Floor Vanity Berry Bowl Portraits Berry Bowl Portraits (detail) Berry Bowl Portraits (detail) Hero Recognition . . DM to Inquire . . . Catch a few of these in person by making an appointment to visit the gallery or view them online alongside more of McDowell’s work in Stone Soup: Expanded (link in bio) . . . . . . #timothymcdowell @tjmcdowellstudio2 #marciawoodgallery #stonesoup #stonesoupexpanded #oilpainting #onlineexhibition #galleryexhibition #connecticutartist #professor #atlantagallery See more

All artwork is better in person, but we would argue that the fleshy and jubilant richness of encaustic can only be witnessed in person.

Their visa required they return home in the spring but have been unable to leave. They are sending a postcard from their charming village. Karen has shown 2 beautiful bodies of work with the gallery, in 2009 and 2016. Karen and James founded the storied Blue Rat Gallery in 1983 along with artists Stepanie Ayers, Clark Brown and Chick Lo...ckerman, in a vacant apartment in the Pershing Point Apartments in 1983. Blue Rat Gallery became the center of a vibrant Midtown scene for local artists and musicians until disbanding in 1987. The Blue Rat Archives are housed at Emory University in the Stuart A.

Her work has been shown locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. James is a self taught photographer and digital video artist. He creates new methods to produce experimental 2D photographs, 3D stereo imagery and digital animations. James received a degree in Psychology from Georgia Southern University. His viewer participation/installation pieces, which have been shown at local and regional galleries, were heavily influenced by his studies in behavioral psychology.

We are pleased to present Gravity’s Deposit, an online exhibition showcasing David Humphrey’s striking new series of monoprints created at Washington University, St. Louis in late 2019. Enter the viewing room on our website, link in bio . . In the featured print series Humphrey painted imagery onto plates that were then printed onto digital imagery he photographed. "The images were snapshots of streets in my industrial neighborhood that I could augment, vandalize and proj...ect into with the improvisatory mark-making that monoprinting is so good at capturing @aikenhump . . #marciawoodgallery #onlineexhibition #gravitysdeposit #newyorkartist #atlantagallery #monoprint #printmaking #legend #photography @islandpress See more
