Samantha Palmeri has a solo show of new paintings and works on paper titled “The Things Between Us” at the Catalyst Gallery in Beacon, NY, from September 7 through 29. “All of my work examines the interconnectedness of the natural, physical, and spiritual,” writes the artist. ”The impetus for this series of paintings in particular is much more personal and based on the relationships in my life. The title ‘The Things Between Us’ refers to both physical and metaphorical human connections and disconnections.” There will be two receptions, on the 7th and the 14th, 6 to 9 p.m.

From March 30 to April 28, Samantha Palmeri is part of a show called “Forces of Nature” at the Create Community Gallery in Cold Spring, NY, which brings together three artists (including Greg Slick and Jean Brennan) “whose work is very different in material and approach, but is rooted in the dialogue between body and nature,” says the announcement “Pattern recognition, visual memory, the expression of nature through the body, or the body through nature; these have been fundamental since the dawn of modern man. What are the origins of art, the forces of nature that compel us to create? What links us to the evolutionary and material forces that led to cave painting 40,000 years ago? The painting, sculpture, drawing, and site-specific installation of each of these artists reflects and relies on past experience, but with an impulse toward the unknown.”

And now on to members in the news….
Samantha Palmeri is part of the three-person show called “Earthbound” (along with Jackie Skzrysnki) at the Hudson Beach Glass Gallery in Beacon, NY, through July 8. “Inspired by tree limbs and body parts as much as by piles of garbage and laundry, Waste Not is part of an evolving series of works that is meant as a metaphor for both our psychological and physical states of being,” she writes...

Press Release
Inspired by a profound relationship with their environment, these three artists interpret the natural world through the lens of science, abstraction and the body.
Samantha Palmeri is drawn to nature and the body, seeing intertwining lines and shapes as metaphor for internal struggles. Her studio practice evolves from a process based on repetition, knitting, and braiding. She looks at tree limbs and body parts as much as piles of garbage or laundry. Where it goes from there is left to the unfolding of mood and chance. Formerly a gallery owner herself, Palmeri just finished her second successful year as the Director of Beacon Open Studios.
Throughout her career, Jackie Skrzynski’s work has challenged physical and psychological boundaries between humans and nature. In this work, she collapses the perception of interior and exterior space. Her large charcoal drawings of swirling forms and tangles suggest similarities between anatomical and botanical forms. Skrzynski writes that her imagery is inspired by her time in the woods near her home. Observing growth, decay and rebirth, she intends to convey her perception of nature as equally beautiful and unsettling. Outside the studio, Skrzynski is the creative force behind P.U.G. Projects, which stages pop-up exhibitions in Newburgh and beyond.
"Tanya Chaly makes visible the invisible forces of nature through interventions into her analytical drawings on paper of animals and the ecosystems they inhabit. Her work balances order with disorder, meticulously combining renderings in graphite and charcoal with indications of impending microscopic threats. Often, they take the form of thousands of pinholes depicting the molecular structures and toxins that impact species, and the delicate systems in nature that support them. Her work and installations are layered with clues to understanding complex issues in science and life. In the process, poignant questions arise surrounding resilience, survival and loss." – Matthew Garrison
