SHARON SPRUNG |
In her new work, now on view at Gallery Henoch, Sharon Sprung continues to explore complex
figurative arrangements set against vivid textiles. Largely inspired by dresses and tapestries
made by the Hmong culture, Sprung investigates how the repeated forms of these textiles, which
are then mimicked within the composition by her models, influence our way of seeing. The curled
female in Callas elegantly echos the floral arrangement viewed throughout the tapestry. Notice, for
instance, the two wings of the female's kimono branching out, imitating the carpet pattern in the top
left corner of the composition. The painting, like all of Sprung's oeuvre, has a delightful balance of
grace and sensuality.

| ERIC ZENER |
Eric Zener's work often depicts people submerged deep beneath the surface of a body of water,
suggesting a kind of meditative, almost primordial state of consciousness. Zener's current solo show
at the gallery also features two works that show the turbulence above the surface: the splash. At
once abstract and figurative, these works capture a singular moment in time that would otherwise
pass by in an instant. The splash, unique as a shape onto itself, stands in as a kind of symbol for
the person who just dove beneath the surface in search of that serene, contemplative space.
The exhibition continues thru May 17, 2014.
