TRA Art News: March 2006

Fresh New Art at TRA!

It has been spring cleaning time at TRA and we have freshly painted and re-hung gallery walls! In the front of the gallery we are featuring a new local artist, Marcia Freedman. Freedman paints out of her studio in the Pioneer Building in downtown Detroit. She has a full resume of exhibitions under her belt in Detroit as well as Chicago and Florida.

Freedman's oil paintings are very luscious and tactile. You really need to see her paintings up close to appreciate the quality. A lot of her imagery comes from inside the body like cell-like forms and inner cavities as well as nature and organic shapes.

We are also featuring new sculpture by Frank Gallo and also Cranbrook Graduate artist Kai Wolter.

conference art installation

Could a conference room look any more stunning? The lithographs in this conference room are for a recently updated law firm in Farmington Hills. Well known New York artist Esteban Chavez is known for his architectural prints and created this Detroit series from photographs of the tops of famous Detroit buildings. The series called "Detroit Top Ten" features Detroit landmarks such as the Penobscot Building, Michigan Central Depot, David Stott Building, Once Detroit Center, One Woodward Avenue and other prized Detroit architectural buildings.

The positioning of framed prints between the columns works perfectly in the art deco flavored room! The lithographs are a great accent to the strong trim and other architectural features of the room.

These modern, black and white, geometric prints are hung in series down the main hallway leading into the offices. The crisp lines compliment the other lithographs nicely.
