by Patricia Frischer
“…from joy and serenity to chaos and introspection”.
This phrase appears in the introduction to the Boundaries Edge
exhibition at Techne Art Center curated by Jason Clay Lewis and Chuck Thomas on
view until Jan 20, 2024. That is an odd but appropriate statement about this
landscape show which starts with sharply portrayed painting of melting glaciers
by Adam Belt, continues with delicate handstitched embroidery overlays
on postcard landscapes by Adriene Hughes as
well as amazing valises with actually
running water in miniature bucolic scenes by Kathleen Vance. Catherine
Ruane covered an entire wall with her hand drawn tree in black and white
and Kevin O'hara probes streetscapes in moody
darkness. It seems like Greg Hopkins
op art paintings are more about edges than land. Judith Braun wowed
us with her large orange vision at the top of the stairs at this enormous space
which hosts local and New York artists side by side.
Many more artists are featured below and there are other works by Riccarda de Eccher, Melanie
Taylor, Amelia Biewald, Trish Tillman, Jean-Marc Superville Sovak, Jeph Gurecka
to discover.

| When at Techne Art Center it is always fun to go into Chuck Thomas' studio and see his painting. We enjoyed this fun display of his catalog book. |
 |
| On this visit we also saw this wonderful day bed. I can imagine Leslie Wang, the co-owner, reclining after a long day. |
