Drawn from Practice

Mike Reed has attended rehearsals throughout the Twin Cities where he has documented dancers, singers, musicians, directors and even hair stylists.

The results are beautiful visual interpretations that capture the linear gesture of effort, skill and non-sentimental beauty.

TYCHMAN SHAPIRO GALLERY AT SABES JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER
Concealed/Revealed
July 9 through August 27
Opening reception: July 9, 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
Emily Isenberg’s life-size charcoal drawings explore the complex structure of the human body. Inspired by the figurative works of Alfred Leslie, Richard Diebenkorn and Alice Neal, Isenberg uses expressive, bold and gestural mark making to energize her figures. There is a definite liveliness to the work, defining the tenuous relationship between spirit and substance.
