Rochester's prominent Nan Miller Gallery presented its shining star last evening with a gala opening reception of Albert Paley's sculpture and mono prints. The well-presented exhibition curated by the Gallery Director Gail Leess assisted by the expertise of the galleries' design and exhibition staff was an opportunity for art lover's to explore the many works of Albert Paley whose oeuvre includes art designed in the utilitarian to the aesthetic. 
 
Patrons of the arts were treated to a museum quality exhibit with works ranging from Paley's sculptural candlesticks to his beautiful freestanding sculptures beautifully displayed throughout the gallery. the exhibit, a small scale retrospective gave an overview of Paley's work with documentation, video of the recent New York City Park avenue public installations as well as an
inside look at the artist's working studio.  A treat for the novice to the patron was the juxtaposition of Paley's two dimensional work interspersed amongst the sculpture.  This viewer, one of the galleries' artists, was intrigued by the historical yet contemporized mix found in the work.  Many of the sculptural pieces brought to mind the works of early Russian constructivists, especially in the layer ribbon twists of metal intertwining with each other forming the more colorful freestanding sculptures and playing a significant role
in the supporting structures of the utilitarian works.

This exhibit on view through October 19th also will have a book signing of Albert Paley's latest release "Albert Paley on Park Avenue" happening  tonight October 10th at 7 PM. RSVP for this part of the exhibit at (585)292-1430 or email at info@nanmillergallery.com

While you are there I invite you to take in some of the gallery artists' works also on
view.  They include, Hamilton Aguiar, Adam Colangelo, Romero Britto, as well as a few of us Central New York artists, Pam Steele and my own oil paintings displayed here in the above photo.  

The Nan Miller Gallery is to be commended on presenting a museum quality exhibit for
everyone, patrons, art lovers, and students alike to enjoy. 
Don't miss it!

    Author

    Linda Bigness is an internationally exhibited artist who maintains a gallery/studio in
    Syracuse, New York.  Her work has been exhibited in several prestigious
    solo and group shows that have involved notable jurors such as art critic
    Clement Greenberg, Ivan Karp, director of OK Harris Gallery in NYC, and Tom
    Piche, director of the Daum Museum of Contemporary Art.  In addition,
    Bigness’ large scale paintings are often selected and commissioned for corporate
    and residential clients, including the Turning Stone Resort, Merrill Lynch
      Corporation, Haylor, Freyer and Coon, and Bausch and Lomb.  She continues
      to exhibit professionally at several venues with artwork featured frequently at
      the Nan Miller Gallery in Rochester, NY.

    Presently she is working on
    her latest book and exhibition about abstract art and the contemporary processes
    used by working artists today.  Part of the research for this book is taken
    from the workshops she teaches and her oil painting and mixed media collage
    experience.   For over 30 years Bigness has used her expertise to
    share with others the unique beauty and processes of her chosen medium through
    writing, teaching and professional exhibits.

    Her first book “Paint It,
    Tear It, Create It” offered the reader insight into visual abstract thinking
    through the process of collage into painting.  She continues to explore the
    abstract through surface manipulation using encaustics and oil and is currently
    working on a new series, the “Journey Stones Revisited,” that reflects her
    extensive travels through the United States and Europe.
