PRESS: Gnashing teeth and sharpened knives – review of Anderson solo exhibit

Check the Sunday, June 20th edition of the Winston-Salem Journal for an insightful review of our current exhibit, Tooth and Nail: Fragments featuring new work by artist and artworks member Woodie Anderson.

“

“Industrious and enterprising are the first words that come to mind when seeing Woodie Anderson’s solo exhibition at Artworks Gallery. … Anderson is a talented, resourceful artist whose specialty is printmaking, and her exhibition “Tooth and Nail: Fragments” leaves no doubt she’s been busy. She’s also clearly had a lot on her mind.”

“There are of course no real knives in sight, and nothing else potentially dangerous, but if close attention is paid, this exhibition promises to sharpen eyes and minds.”

Post-election: Critical reflections on the Trump era dominate three-artist show at Artworks Gallery

The Sunday, Nov 21, 2020 Edition of the Winston-Salem Journal has a review of our November exhibits by art critic Tom Patterson. Read the full article here. You can also read a PDF version of this review here. Thanks to Tom for this insightful review. A few quotes from the article below.

Jessica Tefft’s Work: Politically Charged

“Tefft’s work encompasses a variety of mediums, and much of it relates directly to the Mueller Report and Donald Trump’s presidential administration, which chose the passages to be redacted. Like many contemporary artists, Tefft is not a fan of the outgoing president, as is clear from her work on view here.”

Woodie Anderson’s Work: Printed Charms

“Anderson’s festively colored prints on cloth and paper are charms against inertia and hopelessness — icons of strength, endurance, and abiding energy. The thematic gist of her stylized imagery is reflected in the titles of individual pieces — “Eyes,” “Fire,” “Mindful,” “Comfort.” Inspiration is the name of the game.”

Lea Lackey-Zachmann’s Work: Nature Nurture

“…Lea Lackey-Zachmann employs a darker and more subdued, earth-based palette in her five-part series of mixed-media monoprints. She’s a resolute nature abstractionist, whose work typically has a neo-pagan undercurrent. … Leaving aside the titles, on their own as evocative markings on paper, these pieces extend Lackey-Zachmann’s ongoing project of visualizing natural forces. It’s a theme both limitless and imaginatively challenging.”
