States of Being Exhibition

Carol Coates work conveys feeling states and is centered on issues of perception and choice. Her abstract pieces are visual tone poems.  She uses Surreal, Classical, Minimal, and Abstract imagery to communicate. While the work varies in style, the content and aesthetics are constant. It can be poetic and dead serious or quirky and laced with humor. It is all from one heart and one mind.  She hopes to evoke an emotional and empathic response from the viewer. Finally, she hopes to provoke thought and promote greater wisdom and justice.

Alice Kiderman creates work that is a blend of the realistic and the abstract in shape, though she believes that the abstract is just an extension of the world around us. It is her hope that her sculpture evolves emotions and projects the victory of the spirit… untamed.

See how the work of these two artists work together to explore what it is to be human, a state of being we all share.
