Please join Muriel Guepin Gallery on Friday, March 5th from 6-9 pm to celebrate the opening of a new group show featuring artworks by Elizabeth Duffy, Inger Grytting, and Anne Mourier Attal.

Obsession, repetition, transcendence and a reliance on materials often taken for granted feature prominently in these artists’ work.

Elizabeth Duffy creates installations and collages with often overlooked materials: notebook reinforcement labels, security envelopes, and paper maps. In her words, she chooses materials that “have a poignancy for their inevitable obsolescence.” Her work has a quiet, almost book-like presence.

In graphite on paper, Inger Grytting draws layers of fine lines, which form densely constructed patterns. She describes her work as visual diary entries of psychological states.

Anne Mourier Attal, a photographer and mixed media artist, is exhibiting a series of photographic diptychs called “The Little Signs,” which look like paintings made with light. In this series, Attal uses light to connect with the universe, capturing the “signs that light creates when it plays and interacts with nature or man-made objects.” Her resulting photographs are soft, atmospheric, and abstract.

The exhibit will be on view from March 5th through April 18th.
