"Well"



"Fanthom"




Pacini Lubel will present the work of painter, Susan Madsen in the East Gallery from July 5th through July 28th. The show is entitled Above/Below. The painting's of Susan Madsen elicit a combination of surreal, hyper-realistic and psychological tension. "Reach across the history of art, back to the Northern Renaissance when the horizons of sparse landscapes reached further back to dark, cloud-hemmed uncertainty. Dip your fingers down, reach under to find mythological figures in postures of yearning, folly, balance, spiritual enlightenment and hubris urged and thwarted by many Gods." Margot Leigh Butler, Ph. D.
