| Silke SchoenerMay 14, 2009- June 13, 2009Reception: May 14, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Dillon Gallery is proud to present the second U.S. exhibition of paintings by Silke Schöner. With this new exhibit, Ms. Schöner furthers her exploration of lush open spaces enveloped in fields of pointedly clinical white observation. A stretch of detailed landscape with the occasional human or unaware creature becomes a suspended focus for all our shared involvements.
Her palette of color, beyond the stark polarizing white, is a limited monochrome of greens, browns and grays that combine to create a substantial, yet sparse naturalness. Paintings based on the day to day of her actual world are transformed into visual evocations of all our worlds; that detailed stretch becomes a wisp of bare essential we have all witnessed, or comfortably imagine to be a recollection.
In the sharing and presentation of her visions, Silke Schöner allows the painting to take on unique meaning for each individual viewer. There is no interference from place, time or season, and barely from the accomplished hand of the artist.
