PETER REGINATO
DAY TO NIGHT
WESTBETH GALLERY
JUNE 7 – JULY 1, 2018
Tuesday – Sunday 11am – 6pm

The show will be mostly paintings I’ve made in the last 8 months and large 70×96 inches .There’s 2 groups maybe 3 ,one group is what I call “paintings and pictures” and another group I call “cover up” and the odd group is just that ,one off ideas I have no idea where it’s going at this time .All the paintings have some relationship to the drawings I make everyday but I don’t use them directly for the paintings, as I work on the paintings it’s all about decisions , problem solving ,drawing and color. I have no themes or plans only to see if I can use the knowledge I’ve gained in the previous work to make a better painting .The work is intuitive.

Twelve printmakers using techniques that range from traditional to digital express the freedom of printmaking to cross boundaries both technically and conceptually.

Printmaking is found both in galleries and in the streets. In fine art and in revolution. Because of printmaking’s foundations in reproducibility, multiplicity and versatility, it negotiates the entire spectrum between the static and the temporal.

Each of the printmakers in the show uses printmaking to respond to profound aesthetic beliefs, to explore social and environmental issues as well as to investigate the implications of culture on the natural world.

The world has become pure image. This show examines the nature of seeing.

Francia Tobacman Smith
Francia has been a practicing artist for over 30 years, along with being an arts activist. She has played a major role in the Women’s Caucus for Art and in that organization organized the Jewish Women Artists Network.
In recent years she has shifted more of her painting to printmaking, specifically Linoleum Reduction prints. This technique involves layering of colors and the design created with each cutting. The positive negative space is created with color and paper as a ground and how they work together. The cutting depends on the tools and the nuances of textures they create. Her prints focus on how lines can become shapes.
Earning her MA in printmaking from Lehnman College, Francia has been a teaching artist for Project Arts, Studio in a School, and for 10 years was co-director of a summer study abroad program for art and music in French-speaking Switzerland.
Selected museum exhibits include: Musee des Beaux-Arts, La Chaux-de-Fonds, CH, Indianopolis Museum, JB Speed Musuem, ERvansville Museum, National Jewish Museum, Mizel Museum, Hartwick College Museum, Owensboro Museum, Tyer Museum, Brooklyn Museum, Bibliotecque Nationale, PR.
The artist has received grants from the Gottlieb Foundation, New York Foundation for the Arts, Artists Space, and National Endowment for the Arts.She has lectured at museums and galleries around the country.

As an artist resident of Westbeth, and a member of the Westbeth Graphics Studio, Francia’s newest work examines color, shape, line and how they interact with the concept of Freedom of the Press in the 21st century.

Sheila Schwid
Artist’s Background: I was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 1932. I have been painting since I can remember. Growing up in Omaha, I studied with the local artists, Bill Hammon, Milton Wolsky, Frank Sapousek, John and Hettie-Marie Andrews. From these mentors I learned the basics of life drawing, landscape and still life. After completing my BA at Omaha U, I studied at the Art Center School in Los Angeles. Later I came to New York just in time to join in the excitement of the 10th Street Galleries where I showed in a few group shows. I also participated in the Happenings of Red Grooms, and was an angel in the movie by Robert Frank, “The Sins of Jesus,” by Babel.
