Y:ART Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of its twelfth exhibition and second solo show, featuring the remarkable work of abstract painter Effie Gereny. Gereny’s practice is heavily influenced by her travels, most specifically in California, Greece, and Japan. Her memories of light, shape, texture and color from these locations help to inform the content of her work. Her work encompasses a variety of calculated brushstrokes and applications of paint, each adding dimension to the picture plane. Utilizing these techniques, her practice alludes to nature in the form of abstraction rather than imitating nature itself. Her work carries a distinct organic quality while simultaneously feeling pleasantly contrived. We hope that you can join us at the opening reception for this captivating exhibition.
