d berman gallery is pleased to present Particles of Order, an exhibit of new work by Sydney Philen Yeager. The show will be a complement to her 10-year retrospective at Arthouse, Little Mysteries. Yeager’s new paintings at d berman gallery continue to explore the bounds of pure abstraction, while still corresponding to her interest in the natural world. The highly organic imagery in her works maintains an energetic tension which echoes the friction in Nature: untamed chaos vs. harmonious order.

"A violent order is disorder; and
A great disorder is an order. These
Two things are one."

- Wallace Stevens, Connoisseur of Chaos

This exhibition opens on December 11, 2003 with a reception from 6 – 8 PM, and will continue through January 17, 2004. Yeager will give a gallery talk at Arthouse for her show there at 7:00 PM on January 8, 2004, and so in lieu of a regular gallery talk at d berman gallery, Yeager will be in the gallery available for questions and discussion on Saturday, January 10, 2004, from 1 – 3 PM.

It's 2004 and you can still see the "Best Art Event of 2003"

Jeanne Claire van Ryzin's 10 best arts events of 2003

1. 'Sydney Philen Yeager: Little Mysteries,' Arthouse at the Jones Center; 'Sydney Yeager: Particles of Order,' D. Berman Gallery. She's simply one of the best artists Austin can claim. Sydney Yeager has developed a color-filled abstract style that reminds us painting can be an absolute celebration of paint. A mid-career museum retrospective and a solo gallery show of new work were a celebration themselves.
