The Patchogue Arts Council is proud to present Minutiae" on display at the Patchogue Arts Gallery from Saturday, March 8 through Friday, April 19, 2014. The exhibit will feature the work of Martin Levine, Patricia Mamatos and Paul Farinacci.
In a time in which speed is the norm, where the spontaneous gesture is celebrated, there are still those who find delight in the meticulous craftsmanship. The artists in "Minutiae" are joined together by processes which take the time to attend to fine detail.
Martin Levine's architectural studies, both urban and rural pay homage to those structures effect on the human condition. His hand drawn aquatint etchings and lithographs take months to complete because of the "obsession with detail, and intense involvement with every technical aspect of the medium".
Paul Farinacci examines society's standards for living by examining the educational, political and religious institutions that power it. Embedded within an architectural framework are vignettes which explore the effects of media/technology on the diminishing distinctions between public and private life.
Pat Mamatos moves between the simple and the complex. She revels in the virtuosity of pencil and pen. Beginning with inspiration from nature, her work moves to the surreal. The graceful lines found in nature are injected with incongruity producing dreamlike images that are"vaguely uncomfortable but none the less compelling".
