Relative Objects
Father and daughter to show together at Roos Arts
“Relative Objects” is a show of paintings by Dan Green and sculptural works by Galen Green, will be on view at Roos Arts, 449 Main Street, Rosendale, from March 8 to April 12. This show, the first time the artists have shown together, presents an opportunity to juxtapose their work, while examining the interstices of influence and aesthetic. An opening reception will take place on Saturday, March 8, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm.
Although Dan Green is renowned in the world of comic book illustration for his long tenure as an inker and penciller for Marvel and DC comics, he has also had a parallel career as an illustrator in his own right (the graphic novel Doctor Strange: Into Shamballa, Marvel, 1986, a collected Edgar Allan Poe The Raven & Other Poems & Tales, Bulfinch Press, 2001) and as a painter whose work has been praised for its delicacy, dark humor, and indelibly haunting quality. He has done a series of paintings inspired by his daughter Galen’s childhood toys, and his most recent works incorporate photographic imagery from his childhood.
Galen Green, a graduate of Rhode Island School of Design, originally focused on puppet animation, which led to her building characters and creating a mythology for them. The puppets have evolved into more conceptually and technically complex sculptures, some of them crocheted, some of them clay sculpted around bone, all of them oddly possessed and strangely affecting. She is currently working on large-scale crocheted pieces, including life-sized characters from the classic Tod Browning movie Freaks.
Gallery hours are Thursday through Saturday from 1:30 to 5:30 and by appointment. For more information, contact Heige at 718-755-4726 or hk@roosarts.com.
