Shaw Galleries: Beauty, Strength, Reflection Art Exhibit April 1-30 2011 Pgh PA


PITTSBURGH, PA, 3/3/10 – Shaw Galleries is pleased to announce the opening on Friday, April 1, 2011 of "BEAUTY - STRENGTH - REFLECTION: Five Perspectives on the Female Form," an exhibit featuring five women artists from Pittsburgh in a remarkable Spring show of fine art paintings. The exhibition runs through Saturday, April 30. PLEASE NOTE NEW GALLERY HOURS are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays.

Within their chosen medium, these five women share their perspectives on feminine form and style. Not to be confused with nude figurative studies, these new works convey an uninhibited simplicity, a quiet, sagacious strength and luminous nobility with the focus being color, light, texture and shape. Each artist has contributed individual works on paper and canvas, as well as a five-piece collaborative piece titled "Dressing Matters" that serves as a focal point of the show.

The opening is Friday, April 1 from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m.

The Pittsburgh Art Blog

The Pittsburgh Art Blog features selected pittsburgh artists and upcoming exhibits with photos from the artists and galleries. since the major press outlets do not go beyond a directory listing of exhibits, blogs are needed to promote pittsburgh artists and their work. the blog also calls attention to the inferiority complex of pittsburgh art and how it's perpetuated by the major players in town. Started on August 20,2007. pittsburgh area galleries and art venues are listed at the sister site www.PghGalleries.com.

the blog and website are volunteer projects from fine art photographer and pittsburgh artist advocate rick byerly.
