Fowler, Ben-Achour and Manley at Gallery Plan
Jan. 13, 2010

Bravo to Gallery Plan B’s Paula Amt and her crew, who continue to show strong regional artists in the 14th Street corridor, economy be damned. The current offerings are Heidi Fowler’s and Anne Manley’s paintings and Sabri Ben-Achour’s ceramics.

I was immediately drawn to Ben-Achour’s macho ceramics; the best are muscular and aggressive in their prickliness. Which is in substantial contrast, actually, to the sweet young guy who made them.

I also love Heidi Fowler’s work. In her paintings, the most stark elements of modern industrial architecture loom over cities and landscapes. They are done on fairly subtly textured surfaces that enhance a quality of  transience that is quite evocative.
