On View: July 10^th – August 6^th, 2010

The Gallery @ FOX TAX and guest curator Emma Berg of mplsart.com are pleased to present WAITING ROOM.  This exhibition brings together the works of couple Clea Felien and David Pederson.  With complimenting works, the two artists will be playing with the idea of the space as a waiting room, expounding on the elements that create a waiting space.  With added or intensified details such as artist created coffee table books, a coffee table, paintings and photographs.

Clea’s current series of paintings are based from photographs, however “People, landscapes and idealized notions of reality disappear by abstracting or disintegrating the form with impasto brushwork.”  The end results are lush in texture and color within the cloud of a hazy memory.

David, along with displaying interactive furniture and artist books, will have large printed photographs from recent travels on view. 

Clea Felien and David Pederson currently share a studio space in the Northrop King Building and have recently returned from a trip in the south, exploring, taking photos and talking with those impacted by the BP oil spill. 

Clea is the founder The Studio School of the Twin Cities, a technical painting school which is run out of her and David’s studio.

We look forward to seeing you at the opening!
