Peggy Mc Givern Solo Exhibition: Beyond The Iron Curtain

Beyond the Iron Curtain: Reflections in Paint and Verse Peggy McGivern Solo Exhibition with verse by Peter Stravlo Mar 20 - Apr 17, 2015 Opening Reception: Mar 20, 6-9 pm Room 2260 Opening simultaneously with Modern (Still) Life and Dynamic Mapping Artist Statement: I have found in people all over the world that same native self reliance I feel deep within myself. The Pueblo Indians of New Mexico, Chilean Mestizos, or Gypsies in Romania, as unique as we all are, I see myself in them, and whatever it is, it colors my work. It has taken years to formulate this show, for the paintings and poems to help resolve our feelings about the people and places. Now we invite you to join us for Poetry and Paintings and listen to hauntingly beautiful Eastern European folk music by Mark Dudrow and Chipper Thompson played on the traditional Romanian Bouzouki instrument, so you too, can travel Beyond the Iron Curtain. Please email us at info@abendgallery.com to be put on the early preview list.
