Heather Gaudio Fine Art is pleased to present Susan Schwalb: Convergence/Variations, her first solo exhibition at the gallery. The show will feature a selection of paintings from different series created in the past two decades. The exhibition will open with an artist reception on May 14th, 3-5 pm, and will run through June 25th, 2022.
Schwalb is one of the leading specialists of silverpoint, a drawing technique that peaked during the Renaissance era in Italy and the Flemish regions. Well-known Old Masters practicing the medium included Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt van Rijn and Albrecht Dürer, among others. Its popularity waned as other drawing materials emerged, such as red chalk and graphite, only to be revived in the latter decades of the 19th Century. Today the technique continues to be employed by artists in the United States and Europe and Schwalb is arguably its largest champion.
