This series is an expression of observing and being observed. By creating unique landscapes, though stark, the viewer is invited to place themselves in the spaces.</p> <p>This series invites the viewer to reflect on who they watch and who watches them, where they choose to place their attention, and the calm or unrest that creates.</p> <p>Mary Fedorowski is a multi-disciplinary painter and muralist. Fedorowski uses the beauty of modern architecture and greenery to show how light and color fundamentally bring shapes to life. Fedorowski implements hard-edged abstract techniques and pushes the boundaries of the basic visual concepts of contrast, balance, proportion, and movement.</p> <p>She is influenced by the colors of the desert sunset, mid-century designers such as Alvar Aalto and Ludwig Meis van der Rohe, artists Edward Hopper and David Hockney, and photographer Slim Aarons. Fedorowski works to create peaceful spaces in a quest to find calm in an overstimulating world.</p> <p>Join us for Mary’s opening reception on October 29th from 6-9pm and/or the closing reception on November 13th from 6-9pm. Open gallery hours will also be available throughout the month to see the work.</p> <p>The Martin & Split-Rail are both fully masked and vaccinated-only environments. Vaccination cards & IDs must be presented at the door. A beer & wine bar will be available for purchase for any guests 21+.</p> <p>Want to dine at Split-Rail before or after your visit to the exhibition? We recommend making a reservation.</p> <p>The Martin & Split-Rail are both ADA accessible. If any guest has an accessibility question or concern, please don’t hesitate to reach out.</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2021/10/mary-fedorowski-the-watcher/">Mary Fedorowski: The Watcher</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://thevisualist.org/2021/10/mary-fedorowski-the-watcher/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">127314</post-id> </item> </channel> </rss>
