Jerrold Burchman's recent paintings reflect his intuitive response to the natural world: the surprising patterns of plant and tree growth, stains, and erosion. These new works continue his ongoing interest in color nuance, paint manipulation, linear gesture, and experimental process. There is a balance of determined structural organization, and free improvisation of form and color. His work has been described as both poetic and lyrical.

Taking his work to a new level of beauty and sensuality, Steven Alexander presents a group of recent paintings that feature iconic geometric configurations infused with lucious color resonances. His rich surfaces, built slowly through a painstaking process, convey a deep sense of time and place. Alexander's new works forge elemental connections between contemporary painting and its ancestral traditions.

Art in the Eye of a Needle is an exhibition benefiting the Houston Museum of African American Culture (HMAAC), hosted by Gremillion &Co. Fine Art, Inc.

Micro Sculptor Willard Wigan, using a tiny surgical blade, carves figures from fragments of gold and grains of sand, later painting them with a single strand of hair. Each completed piece sits within the eye of a needle or on a pinhead, and can only be viewed through a microscope.

Philippe Garel is both a painter and a sculptor, and lives in Paris. His paintings are concepts suspended between “fiction“ and “real“. These notions are present through out all the subjects he undertakes. More than a presence, it is an alliance to produce a strangeness. A sort of enigma which seems to arrange the apparent tranquility of the scene without formally identifying it. This concern traverses his landscapes, still lifes, and portraits. It draws the spectator, and intriguingly questions him.

Garel has exhibited his work throughout Europe including Paris, Rouen, Madrid, Florence, Rome, Bologne, Munich, and Amsterdam. He has done monumental sculpture commissions in France and in Africa. Most recently his paintings were exhibited at Musee Cognacq-Jay in Paris.

Influenced by Renaissance and Baroque masters such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, Bruce Brainard's landscape paintings are symbolic and spiritual. Drawing from the beliefs of the Hebrews and the ancient Greeks, and from the techniques of the Luminists, Mr. Brainard creates tranquil and metaphorical paintings.

His works are included in numerous public and private collections including Brigham Young University, Utah; National Congress of Art and Design, Utah; Ohio University; UPS, Georgia; and Continental Airlines, Texas.

Gary Komarin explores the act of painting as a process in his upcoming exhibition, Incident at Osbourne Grove, Gremillion &Co. Fine Art, Inc., Houston, September 18 through October 20.

“Precisely positioned on the border between image and abstraction, Komarin’s forms offer what John Elderfield, speaking of Martin Puryear’s sculpture, so eloquently referred to as a ‘familiarity that resists recognition.’” – Carol Diehl, Art in America, May 2008

In her exhibition Painting Katrina, Marie Thibeault introduces a series of paintings done in direct response to the epic aftermath of hurricane Katrina in which she utilizes specific imagery from this event to create paintings that seem to alternate between the conditions of collapse and cohesion.

“There is a meaning in every journey that is unknown to the traveler.” These words by Dietrich Bonhoeffer inspire Nicola Parente’s new work Journey.  In these expressive abstract paintings, imbued with movement, Parente draws the viewer into the journey as traveler. Parente’s solo exhibition followed on the heels of a dynamic season in which Parente was featured artist and collaborator for Domenic Walsh Dance Theater’s E_Merging_II, and selected for the Texas National 2008 and Texas Art 2008 juried exhibitions.
