McGee is her two-year study of color, texture, and form. Working in acrylic and texture often on a large scale, McGee's bold painterly brushwork combines with dramatic forms and color for a breathtaking impact upon the viewer. McGee is frequently asked, “What were you thinking when you painted this?” She answers, “Sometimes I have no memory of how it all came together. That may sound odd. I am very intuitive when I paint; I become totally immersed in the colors, textures, and form as they mix and change before my eyes. “I’m always moved when others tell me about things they see in my paintings, that I never intended. The show will include my thoughts along side each painting as part of the exhibition. WHAT WAS I THINKING? is seldom what the viewer sees and I love that interaction. What others think while viewing my work becomes – All in the eye of the beholder.” McGee has caught the interest of collectors and her work can be found in DC area corporate conference rooms, lobbies, and private homes, as well as in PA, OR, NC, New York, Chicago, and London.

As a young art student in Tehran, Nurieh Mozaffari dreamed of seeing Paris, the birthplace of some of the most significant artistic move- N ST K ST DUMBARTON E Observations of Form, thru November 15. The relationship between the work of Michael Hampton and Paul Jett is one of both harmony and contrast. Hampton’s watercolors highlight the absolute symmetry and precision of neoclassical architecture, which emphasizes exacting classical line and proportion. Jett’s photographs capture flora he comes across while taking walks in the woods—like dangling tree limbs or Spanish moss. Yet both artists demonstrate the power of simplicity, the impact of a clean line, and the drama of using negative space. These qualities bring cohesion and unity to their very dissimilar subject matter.

Potom ac R i v er ments of the 20th century. But as part of the revolution generation in Iran, Mozaffari faced tough European tourist visa restrictions which prevented her from traveling to the place she most desired to visit. In 1998, Mozaffari immigrated to Canada and, after receiving her Canadian passport, finally realized her dream of visiting Paris. The exhibition represents Mozaffari’s 30-year love affair with the city. Mozaffari’s use of gold leaf evokes the Baroque domes of 17th century Paris. Her color palette captures the famous “gris” of the Paris sky and the sparkling atmosphere that typifies “The City of Light”. Susan Calloway Fine Arts specializes in contemporary art by local, regional, and international artists, antique American and European oil paintings, and a carefully chosen selection of 17th-19th century prints. The gallery also specializes in conservation framing using archival-quality materials and techniques, and in traditional French mat decoration. The gallery provides extensive art consulting services for business and residential clients and collaborates with architecture and design trades. " Cross MacKenzie Gallery 1675 Wisconsin Ave NW, 202.337.7970 www.crossmackenzie.com GENERIC ART SOLUTIONS, thru Nov 29th. This New Orleans-based art duo use nearly every art medium to examine the recurring themes of human drama and the (dis)functions of contemporary society. Always rooted in performance, they play every character in their work. In their more distilled “duets” we see something of a yin and yang (a balance between individuals that aren’t quite interchangeable), but in their more elaborate “stageings” the result is as epic as the subject matter itself. By combining Classical, Romantic, and Baroque compositional elements with contemporary pictorial techniques, they manage to illuminate the common thread that connects past histories with current events. This strategy creates something of a “Déjà Vu effect” that is often driven by the wellknown works of art they reference.

American printmakers experimented heavily with technique, by manipulating the grain of the wooden matrix and crafting new methods of ink and color application. Artists created editioned prints, hand-made books, and commercial book illustrations in the form. Our 2014 Winter Contemporary Show, Nov 21-Feb 14. Over twenty artists, who use printmaking as their primary medium, were selected. Their works reflect the current eclecticism of contemporary printmaking.

Photo Synthesis: Botanical Prints by Liz Wolf and new work by gallery artists. Liz Wolf’s recent work continues her interest in reducing natural forms to their visual essence. The shape, texture and color of a natural element is synthesized into an abstraction. Her intent is to convey to the viewer the sensuous impression of the botanical. The monoprints, each unique, are constructed by overlaying many layers of etching ink onto a heavy artist paper. The artist uses digital imagery that is transferred and leaves that are inked and printed. An array of contemporary printing techniques is used for image transfer. The techniques include: drawing thin layers of ink on plexiglass, transferring digital images via lithographic techniques, gum transfer and color xerox transfer. Please visit www.lizwolfgraphics.com. "What do you think an artist is? ...he is a political being, constantly aware of the heart breaking, passionate, or delightful things that happen in the world, shaping himself completely in their image.

Working in varied mediums—paint, clay, and pastels as well as furniture, molded Styrofoam, art paper, and plants—Gloria Chapa, Ellen Cornett, Liz Lescault, Pam Rogers, and Claudia Vess reveal their edge and feminist eye. Evocative and ambiguous organic forms appear in Lescault’s work, and botanic magical realism is conjured from natural materials in Rogers’s art; Chapa reconfigures domestic discards to explore the detritus of modern life; and Vess’s machine-formed Styrofoam sculptures call to mind the built environment, while Cornett’s dark fairytales explore the terrain of subtext and dreams. based installation investigates the notion of consumerism through the incorporation of the iconography and visual motifs from U.S. currency.
