Today I attended an exhibition at the Sidney Mishkin Gallery. When I first looked up online that it was on the ground floor of the Administrative Center I just figured that they had a whole wing or large section dedicated to this exhibition. However, I was quite disappointed as the entire thing was a very small room with three mini cubicles each housing three or four paintings a piece. Despite the quantity of the paintings, the quality was very impressive. The paintings, which were done by Ellen K. Levy and Patricia Olynyk, also have an interesting range of style. One cubicle had paintings of skeletons and skulls–done by Olynyk– while another had vibrant colors clashing to resemble a field or sky of rainbows, which were made by Levy. The description piece for the colorful section says that Ellen Levy “focused on organismic life within the process of epigenetic change in an urban landscape.” Thus the creation of a field–a living thing–full of vibrant colors with a lively aura. The gallery may have fallen short of expectations but the artists and their work certainly did not and they deserve more attention and credibility than Baruch’s gallery can offer.
