FEBRUARY - MARCH SHOW: PAM PITTINGER AND JIM RAMSAY: I:I (eye to eye)

February 14 - March 22
JIM RAMSAY AND PAM PITTINGER:

I:I (eye to eye)

Opening Reception: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 3-5 PM

Former Middle St. Gallery members Jim Ramsay and Pam Pittinger will each have works of their own on view, as well as several collaborative pieces. Jim and Pam have been working together for many years and feel they have a strong affinity for each other’s style when they team up to work on a single piece of art. Jim and Pam are both abstract artists; Jim’s style is more structured and linear, whereas Pam’s is more organic and playful.

Jim Ramsay remarks:

Collaborative art is not a new idea. Reubens had a workshop of assistants who translated his small drawings into wall sized paintings while he was out of town. Back home, Reubens would rework much of the canvas, finishing it with his signature flair, his bravura detail brushwork. Picasso and Braque famously worked each on the other’s paintings in their early cubist period. Pam Pittinger and Jim Ramsay each draw and paint their own individual work, but they sometimes work collaboratively, often side by side, often passing an image back and forth between them.

PLUS: Group show of art by Middle St. Gallery members.
