Vera Klement: Recent Paintings
+ Carly Silverman: Party Time

Now on display at Zolla/Lieberman Gallery is two new exhibitions:
Vera Klement’s Recent Paintings + Carly Silverman’s Party Time.

Klement writes about her painting, “Close as paint is to the inner stuff of our body, its liquidity and plasticity, pransparence and ooze - it's iridescence - it makes painting the perfect medium for coaxing image into being.”

Silverman’s paintings examine the ideals and shortfalls of feminine identity. She received her MFA in painting from SAIC in 2011 and currently lives + works in New York.

Both exhibitions will be on view May 11 - June 30, 2012.
