PRESS RELEASE

EXHIBIT: Jana Swec & Jared Theis
EXHIBIT DATES: 23 July - 5 September
OPENING RECEPTION: Thursday, 23 July, 6 – 8 pm
GALLERY TALK: Saturday, 8 August, 1 pm

d berman gallery is pleased to present Jana Swec and Jared Theis, two central Texas artists who use expressive line quality and personal themes to illustrate their quietly seductive work.

East Austin Studio Tour co-founder and member of the Sodalitas art collaborative, Jana Swec finds inspiration in nature. The lines of her pen and ink drawings undulate across the paper, creating intricate, abstracted forms of merging trees, root structures, and elephants' trunks and legs.

Jared Theis combines his mastery of finely detailed ceramics and his passion for music to create the body of work Measures. These slabs of clay are delicately etched, resulting in relief-like qualities that rhythmically push and pull into the surfaces.

Please join us Thursday July 23 from 6-8 pm for the opening reception and again Saturday August 8th at 1pm for an informal musical performance by the artists.
