Gretchen Feldman at Nevin Kelly

Nevin Himself
The day ended at my favorite gallery, Nevin Kelly - where else? The Nevster is showing Gretchen Feldman from Martha's Vineyard this month and the opening reception was boffo, with an overflow crowd of Feldmanistas from as far away as NYC and Richmond. Feldman's water media pieces fall into two categories; there is a group of biomorphic paintings in high-key colors and a group of pieces reminiscent of quilts - hence the theme of the show, "stitches in time." For me, the standouts are the powerfully graphic geometric pieces. They pack an aesthetic punch that is both very contemporary yet timeless in the way of Shaker simplicity.
