Joan Konkel solos at Zenith Gallery

Wednesday, 12 September 2007 23:06

Washington, DC - Joan Konkel transforms commonplace materials into intriguing works of art that play tricks on the eye with color and space, based on the angle you view them. Layering aluminum sheet metal, acrylic and mesh on canvas, Konkel works from a sculptor’s point of view, creating low-and sunken- relief art that is abstract and architectural. As light dances among the materials, her work takes on luminosity and illusions of deeper space. On exhibition October 5 - November 2, 2007

Konkel has exhibited her art at Zenith Gallery numerous times, but this will be her first solo show at the gallery. She received an NEA grant for her work incorporating metal into garments, and has exhibited her works at the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery, the National Museum of Women in the Arts, through the State Department’s ART in Embassies program, and in galleries in the Washington area, Philadelphia and New York. Konkel’s works are held in private and corporate collections in the south, mid-Atlantic and mid-west regions.

Zenith Gallery is recognized for its varied selection of sculpture, abstract, contemporary and realism artworks, Zenith Gallery has been placing art in public, residential and corporate collections throughout the Washington metropolitan area and beyond for more than 29 years.
