FORECAST, A Show by Nancy Eisenfeld at City Gallery




What’s the FORECAST? Find out as artist Nancy Eisenfeld presents a collection of paintings, collage and sculptures that express the violence and unpredictability of nature’s forces. This dynamic show will be on view at City Gallery from Thursday, May 3 through Sunday, May 27, with an Opening Reception on Saturday, May 5 from 2-5pm, and an Artist Talk on Sunday, May 20 at 2pm.

“Nature’s forces are benevolent and destructive, necessary for our existence and out of human control. The cycles of growth and decay and resurgence of life again constantly affect us,” explains Eisenfeld. The impetus for her work are found materials—sloughing tree bark, decaying wood, invasive vines in nature, rusted wire, weathered plywood and commercial metal parts from the discard of the streets— which she reconstructs and transforms in her drawings and sculptures.

The FORECAST show and events are free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. City Gallery is located at 994 State Street, New Haven, CT 06511. Gallery hours are Thursday - Sunday, 12 noon - 4pm. For further information please contact City Gallery, info@city-gallery.org, www.city-gallery.org.
