Tugboat Gallery Proudly Presents " BETWEEN (Here & There)" featuring Patricia Davis and Nick Krauter, Opening June 3rd from 7-10 with DJ ol' moanin - closing on June 30th.

 

"BETWEEN (Here & There)" may seem like disparate 2-dimensional works on paper, Krauter's work is graphic - black and white and Davis' work organic and filled with color, but both artists share the love of pockets, organs, shadows, ooze, discomfort, patterns and ghosts.

Patricia Davis

Drawing inspiration from the human condition and the natural world, I explore notions of openings and exits, possibilities, choices, release, pockets, growing pressure, chaos, confusion, internal dialogue, confessions, echoes, shadows, reflections, partners, and patterns. I work with a variety of mediums including drawing, painting, printmaking, papermaking, and installation. I enjoy examining the alluring qualities of color and texture when combined with text and imagery of biomorphic shapes that loop and ooze and structures like grids, mazes, and spirals. Loaded with symbolic significance, these imagined spaces poke at what we know and we fear about ourselves: the unknown, the uncomfortable.

Nick Krauter

I’ve drawn all of my life, but only in the last five or so years have I begun to give it the attention that it deserves (mid-life crisis, is that still a thing?). I have decades worth of cultural sewage in my brain from a life of absorbing books, films, video games, anime, comics, TV, and music, and now it wants out of here. I draw things and people that intrigue me or just strike me as visually interesting, sometimes in straight forward portraits and drawings, sometimes in more abstract images that are only connected in my mind to the original inspiration.
