ture, or the absence thereof, is one of Holly’s trademarks, as is her dedication to extreme minimalist composition and sparing use of color. Elander seeks to create an otherworldly feeling, usually through an absence of cast shadows. However, her newest cou- pling “Still” and “Wall” profile the cast shadow against a purpose- fully two-dimensional backdrop. A recent Pratt Institute graduate, Holly had her first professional exhibit at GDCA this August and sold 3 paintings out of the gate! This is one to be watched … We would be remiss, if we didn’t feature some of our GDCA our staples, such as Michael Moon and Dina Herrmann. They speak for themselves. We are also excited to welcome back Paul Kauff- man. You may remember his dramatic fauvist abstracted florals and still-lives. Paul is showing an entirely new body of work - ab- stracts! In his commitment to continual growth and exploration, he has revealed himself to be a formidable contender in the ab- stract circle… Stay tuned!! “VITAL” remains on view through October 31st!
