Hair of the Dog:
Drawings by Jody Musoff
April 6th 2006– April 29th 2006
The Parker Gallery Presents: Jody Musoff
Rendered in color pencil, and funneled through Jody Mussoff’s imagination,
drawings of dogs, girls, books and even pencils take on bizarre, if ambiguous, meanings.
At first glance these drawings seem fun and even comic.
But an amusing question surfaces…
Are these curiously strange images serving a deeper sociological or psychological, purpose?
Only the viewer can decide…
Colorful and drawn with exquisite finesse,
these large figurative drawings spring from a fertile imagination to
tell a story that surprises and amuses

Threshold: photography by Christine Carr
March 10th - April 1st 2006
The Parker Gallery Presents: Christine Carr
In a time of digital domination,
it is refreshing to find an artist who embraces film and traditional photographic processing.
Her dramatic images are not manipulated by a computer but rather by other than using long exposure times.
Carr takes advantage of time, light, and the environment that she photographs to
create ethereal landscapes capturing an eerie sense of fleeting perspective.
Christine’s current series combines the freedom of driving with exploration of place.
Her resulting photographs are emotional landscapes that capture brief moments of twilight.
She uses long exposure times to absorb and transform the atmosphere of ordinarily overlooked
locations into dramatic transitory compositions.
Christine received her B.F.A. in photography from Corcoran College of Art and Design and her M.F.A.
from Tyler School of Art, Temple University, Pennsylvania.
Her works is both mesmerizing and contemplative.

Walter Kravitz
February 10th, 2006 - March 4th, 2006
The Parker Gallery Presents: Walter Kravitz
These darkly fanciful drawings explore an alien topography of tortured human anatomy and medieval landscape.
The artist describes with Baroque intensity a personal morphology that turns landscape into living forms and living forms into landscape.
Matching the artwork with Kravitz titles such as “Royal Birth,” “The Saint and the Dragon,” “Death of a Place,” and “Lord’s Excavation,”
leave no doubt as to the artist’s intent in exploring the darker recesses of human souls.
These disturbing sculptural images are executed by a master of the drawn line.
Their crisp beauty combines a contemporary sensibility and the focus of a Northern European Master.

Art & Eros, a group art show including Scott Brouard, Eglon Daley, Margery Gordon, Kelly Guerrero, Stephen Moore, Lynn
Putney, Stefano Scafetta, and Michael Smallwood
February 1-March 16, 2003
In accordance with February's association with themes of love, artists have focused on the meaning of romance and eros, separately or together. This show featured art that is an edgy departure from the Parker Gallery's historical emphasis on beautiful, representational images. Watercolor, acrylic, charcoal on paper, as well as marble & bronze sculpture are used artfully to evoke an intensely human, sensual experience. Talented artists new to the gallery, as well as some of our familiar names from past shows, focus on this theme.
