Reception at Art/Place for New Exhibit, "A Retrospective", Oct. 14

Norwalk, CT - The public is invited to a reception at Art/Place Gallery for “A Retrospective”, the paintings, handmade paper constructions and prints of member Phyllis Peckar Clamage, on October 14 from 3 to 5 pm. The artist will talk at 4 pm. The show runs from October 3 to November 4 and can be viewed every afternoon at 70 Sanford Street in Fairfield. See www.artplacegallery.orgor call 203-292-8328.
 
The Stratford resident has received numerous awards and has been widely exhibited in shows and galleries in the Northeast, including American Craft Museum in New York, the Aldrich Museum,  Silvermine Gallery,  Soho 20,  Greenwich Art Society,  Brookfield Craft Center,  the Bruce Museum,  and Boston Symphony Hall.  Her work is also in many private and corporate collections.  
 
Phyllis has taught or lectured or been an instructor at New York Botanical Garden, Silvermine Guild, the Fashion Institute of Technology, the New Britain Museum, and the Stamford Museum, among others. After 20 years of painting, she then did independent research in Japan to learn  to make handmade paper. She has worked with her own papers and papers from all over the world, has taught papermaking and made prints on various papers and silk organza. Her love affair with paper has an imaginative use of texture and dimension.
 
Phyllis says her paintings “have rhythm, harmony and an interplay of layered geometric shapes.  I feel like I am in a world of visual music". Her style has evolved from color field to lyric abstraction. There are complicated layered structures with vertical and horizontal and diagonal shifts.
