Past Show
Pablo Rahner and Sean Cannady
February/March 2008
Both Pablo Rahner and Sean Cannady are Studio artists who focus exclusively on one medium.
Pablo has been at The Studio for about seven years. During this time, he has painted prolificly in a consistant and personalized style. Pablo's work resembles traditional Chinese painting styles, with an emphasis on the brush stroke. He has compiled a catalog of symbols of natural and man-made objects, which are then placed in various combinations in each of his paintings.
Sean began throwing pottery while he was in high school. Much of the pottery in his show comes from this period. The Studio does not have a pottery wheel, so the vases and pots produced by Sean since he joined a year ago are hand-built. The style of his thrown pots is traditional and they show a strong sense of proportion, symetry and solid glazing technique. His hand-built creamics show an organic approach and brighter coloring, expressing a more personal character.
Pablo's bright and energetic paintings wallpaper the gallery. Sean's more traditional pottery provide an anchoring counterpoint. The gallery will host a reception for the artists on Saturday, March 1st for Arts Alive. The opening will run from 6pm to 9pm. There will be refreshments and gifts in The studio next to the gallery.
