MICAËLA GALLERY presents the work of three talented artists; Bella Feldman, Nancy Otto, & Monika Steiner.
The gallery offers a survey of the remarkable career of Bella Feldman.
Since the early 70’s, Feldman has made extraordinary objects – objects that rivet your attention by their physical appearance; their mass, material, and balance. The presence of her work immediately summons a bodily response. These sculptures are beautiful, yet they contain an element of threat and of irony. They are what critic Harold Rosenberg aptly called “anxious objects.” They are made in anxious times.
Nancy Otto offers an intimate installation that presents the viewer with a voyeuristic window into an inner world of frozen reality. Her subtle use of glass, seductively pushes the structural boundaries of the material and generates a quiet tension between the precarious and the fragile.
The rich oil paintings of Monika Steiner, investigate the subtle relationship between perception and material reality. Her paintings are hypnotically meditative by virtue of their multiple layers. The surfacing and dissolving of shapes in her work are a metaphor for the cycle of appearances arising from, then, returning to a state of pure potential.
