Joyce Melander-Dayton : A Mid-Career Retrospective
Upcoming show at The Rymer presents Joyce Melander-Dayton : A Mid-Career Retrospective.
A mid-career retrospective exhibition featuring 25 years of works by the renowned Sant-Fe basted artist Joeyce Melander Dayton will open at the Rymer Gallery on April 3,2010 and will remain on view through April 24. Melander-Dayton creates contemporary textile works that pull from her childhood experiences in Asia, her love of music,aand the workaday elements of her life.
Melander-Dayton began her career as a painter; her works,representational and hyper-realistic,were juxtaposed with strips of color and repetition. Moving on from this series of work, Melander-Dayton incorporated beadwork, embroidery, and waeving into her works, eventually leaving the confines of the canvas to create wall and table-top installations. As art writer, Hilaries M.Sheets writes in the exhibition catalogue, "Melander-Dayton has found tremendous freedom in reinventing traditional crafts in a contemporary context - creating these abstract forms that fluctuate between suggestions of macro and micro, complexity and simplicity."
Opening Reception: April 3, 2010 from 6-9pm.

Hunt Slonem at The Rymer Gallery
Hunt Slonem is one of the highest-profile painters working today: He's the subject of three published books, his works have been bought for the permanent collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and his splendid lifestyle has been written up on Gawker. April's full-scale Slonem show at The Rymer was something of a coup, and it also justified the hype. On display were dozens of gorgeously colored, hypnotically patterned oil canvases that offered visionary takes on monkeys, rabbits, birds and butterflies. No show this year was more joyously invested in the sheer sensual pleasure that vivid color and rich texture can create. These costly canvases suggest that living with beauty is the ultimate luxury.
