Elements of Peace: Marlene Siff

Thursday, September 20 - Sunday, December 2, 2012
Wednesday, November 14 at 7 p.m. - Gallery Talk with the Artist. Free.

"My paintings, works on paper, and sculpture depict imagery of personal events and psychological issues. They are expressed through geometric shapes, color, light, space, texture, edges and movement each interplaying with one another engaging the viewer to participate. The 'Elements of Peace' series pays homage to people who have been affected by war. White is soft, quiet, spiritual, unadorned and full of infinite possibilities. My intention is to create an architectural space for rest, retreat, connection, reflection and identification." - Marlene Siff, artist

Colleen Browning: A Brush with Magic

(in collaboration with the Bellarmine Museum of Art)

Thursday, January 24 - Sunday, March 24, 2013
The Bellarmine Museum of Art and Thomas J. Walsh Art Gallery collaborative exhibition of Realist artist Colleen Browning is a truly exceptional occasion. Colleen Browning found inspiration for her paintings in her everyday world and in her travels to exotic locations. The circus town of Baraboo, Wisconsin, inspired one of her most impressive series of paintings, which features the circus, pageants, clowns, and marching bands. Picture of a Painting of the Great Circus Parade, 1988, is a study of illusion, fragmented and combined mirrors of reality.

Of Celtic ancestry, she received her early artistic training at a provincial art school in southern England, where her accomplishments led to a scholarship at London's Slade School of Art. Her first solo exhibition was held at London's Little Gallery when Browning was 31 years old. From her immigration to the United States in 1949, she exhibited her work in the Whitney Museum of American Art Biennial, the Carnegie International, at Chicago's Art Institute, the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, and the National Academy of Design in New York City. As one of America's most accomplished Realists, Browning was a leader in the realist revival of the 1990s.

Collaboration with Dr. Philip Eliasoph, professor of art history at Fairfield University and author of Colleen Browning: The Enchantment of Realism.
