“When you’re looking at Sharon Yates paintings, it’s like looking at a cut stone with all of its facets, because the brush strokes give the paintings a gem like quality,” says June Jordan of Washington’s Packing Shed Gallery.
Gallery-goers will be able to see this for themselves when Yates — together with James Hennessey and Timothy App, two of her colleagues at The Maryland Institute, College of Art — will be featured in “Three Maryland Painters” from March 30 through May 4 at Jordan’s Gallery.
An artists’ reception will be held Saturday, April 6 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the gallery on the corner of Gay and Porter Streets.
The three artists work in dramatically different ways, and that appeals to Jordan’s tradition of diversity at her gallery.
“While the three artists seem so unrelated, what unites them is the masterful technique and virtuosity of creative people who have had long and fruitful careers,” she said. , In addition to her painterly magic, Yates’ small works seem at first a simple pasture land with cows but as one watches, they almost seem to be a collage of movement.
As Maine reviewer Philip Isaacson has noted, “Yates’ cows are not placed. They stroll in and out of the frame.”
James Hennessey also works in the very large world of realism but has a dreamlike, surreal quality.
