Robbin Gallery Exhibit ‘Re-Imagining Landscape’ Runs Through Oct. 1
The artwork of Carmen Gutierrez-Bolger and Suzanne Skon are featured in an exhibit called “Re-Imagining Landscape” that runs from now until Oct. 1 at the Robbin Gallery.
“I think the concept of re-imagining comes from the idea that we approach how we look at landscape and how to speak about it very differently. We’re telling a totally different story and one that the viewer hasn’t thought about seeing,” said Carmen Gutierrez-Bolger.
Gutierrez-Bolger’s work is oil and canvas and collage. She draws from her experiences growing up in Southern Florida as a Cuban refugee to create her art that’s described as both real and surreal.
“It’s to say that we as immigrants have a lot to share,” said Gutierrez-Bolger. “You’ve heard the cliche, write what you know, paint what you know, but it’s true. It’s part of me.”
Suzanne Skon’s photo and paint collages show her interpretation of place, both local and abroad. Each work is comprised of multiple photographs taken by the artists over the hours, days or weeks. They are then disassembled and re-juxtaposed to create a new composition.
