entangled roses in "The Bride." A woman, holding a pose like a double handled vase, stands in an adornment gone wild. One could read these elements in many ways, depending on one's experience of marriage. By far the loosest in paint handling of the show, the yellow multiflora roses carry the pleasure of pure painting. The small leaves in varied shades of green to black disappear into the background that cracldes with a subdued light behind the figure. Beyond the idea presented, this painting is the most visually captivating to an eye that loves to read form as paint. It draws one back again and again, just for the pleasure it gives through these lovely roses!
Steven Kenny is working well with his gifts. There is a quality of glamour in some of his models, but our delight in his marvelous zoomorphic and biomorphic fashions will not wane. His ideas are well received, if sometimes disturbing. Paintings in the Lights and Darks show will hang until Sept. 29, 2002 at the Middle Street Gallery in Washington. Gallery hours are Friday - Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information call 675-3440 or 675-2355.
