First Tuesday Artwalk
Mill Valley Art Dealer Anthony Meier to Showcase ‘Larry Bell: All Glass’
Meier is set to showcase “All Glass,” the new sculpture exhibition by acclaimed artist Larry Bell, “transforming the Mill Valley gallery space as only Bell can. Bell’s work is known for how it often changes the perceptions of the spaces it is exhibited in, as light passes through pieces like box sculptures and glass walls works. The gallery’s abundance of skylights and Marin’s gorgeous variances of sun conditions are an exciting addition to the site-specific nature of Bell’s practice,” Bravo writes.

Bailey’s work is evolving as her bold, saturated abstracts transition to earthy expressionism while using lines and pattern to convey the natural boldness that earth bestows. A common thread throughout her work is the use of shapes derived from the natural world, including fungi, lichens, plants, and geological formations, inspired by her youth in the NY Catskills and her studies in the sciences.

“The Windowscapes are each a single exposure,” Toranto says. “Window reflections merge with what is on the other side of the glass. These photographs are not created by layering. Looking through glass is always surprising. Changing the camera angle changes the reflection: shadows change the way the objects show or do not show. Inanimate objects in a window can seem to have personality, as photographs are inanimate and yet arouse feelings.”
