RiverWinds Gallery in Beacon presents Ripe Figs and Rich Pomegranates: The Garzoni Series by Beth Haber. Her translation of the still life into contemporary art is credited with bringing a richness of color and nourishment for the soul.
Rich Pomegranates
The show opens on Beacon Second Saturday Feb. 8, and runs through March 2. The artist reception will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Feb. 8. There will also be an artist talk by Haber on the work of Giovanna Garzoni and how it has inspired her, at 4 p.m. on Feb. 15.
Haber’s works in this series are constructed upon past elements, observations and ideas of display. The underlying material is mylar — a flat-screen surface to which colors adhere only over time.
Rich Peaches
Haber is a Hudson Valley artist and a presenting artist at Vassar College. She is a recipient of the New York State Council of the Arts Award and is on the education staff at Dia:Beacon.
