SUMMARY:4 Voices in Color
DESCRIPTION:4 Voices in Color\nSusan Aeschbach\, Cathie Brenner\, Margo Ezekiel and Judith Stein are Boston-based abstract artists. “4 Voices in Color” showcases their different views on both the natural world and the fantasy world. Each artist has a unique approach to creating abstracts incorporating a variety of materials and mediums. The exhibit includes mixed media works\, acrylic paintings\, oil paintings\, collage\, fiber arts\, and eco prints.  \nBonded by their shared passion for abstract work and a determination to deepen their own art practices\, Susan\, Cathie\, Margo and Judith have created a group with two other artists called the Black Sweater Artist Group. This group meets regularly to share ideas\, exchange resources/techniques\, encourage further experimentation in their work\, and exhibit collaboratively when possible.  \nSusan is a painter and mixed media artist from Newton\, MA.  She seeks to capture the aliveness that is inherent in all things animate and inanimate.  She paints intuitively\, particularly loves working with color and the inspiration for her abstract work often comes from nature and fantasy. \nCathie is a painter and collage artist from Brookline\, MA. Her mixed media paintings incorporate old scraps from family fabric\, found images\, writing\, sand and seaweed\,  and other plant life. She is inspired by textures\, color\, memory and meaning.  \nMargo is a contemporary collage artist from Newton\, MA. She prints her papers using a gelli-plate\, which allows her to create rich textures and patterns without a press. She works organically and  rarely starts with an idea; she looks to her very messy table for a spark of inspiration. \nJudith is a painter and mixed media artist from Needham\, Massachusetts. This exhibit showcases her exploration of gelli-plate and eco printing as well as collage. Inspired by nature and its intricate patterns and rich textures\, most of her work revolves around botanicals and nature-related themes.   \n4 Voices in Color is on view from Saturday May\, 31\, 2025 through Saturday July 12\, 2025.  The exhibit will end with a Closing Reception on July 12 from 2:00-4:00pm.  The artists will be at Fivesparks for 2 ‘Meet & Greet’ sessions:  \nJudith Stein & Susan Aeschbach on Friday\, June 13\, 2025\, and Margo Ezekiel and Cathie Brenner on Wednesday\, June 25\, 2025. Both days 2:00-4:00pm.
