In November, The Artists’ Gallery presents the work of Phyllis Jacobs and the members of the Artists Gallery.
Risk-taking in art is usually associated with young artists. Phyllis Jacobs doubts the truth of this. She asks, “How might an artist approaching the latter years of life remain productive?” There seem to be two choices: continue refining what has been the signature work of nearly 50 years, or take the risk of a challenge in totally new terrains. Acrylic canvases of the past, some large enough cover a wall, give way now to small paperworks mounted on cradled birch panels. The sense of touch remains. Paintings made on an iPad respond to fingers on the screen. Pencil drawings enhanced with gauze, coffee filters, bold erasures, and spilled liquids may be selected as much for how they feel in the hand as they do to the eye.
