Solo Show opening in March in Beacon

Solo show, Prints and Ghosts, from March 10–April 8 at Theo Ganz Studio in Beacon. The opening reception will be on March 10 from 6–8 PM.

This exhibition will feature mixed-media monotype explorations of animals. The show includes an exciting new series which deals with variations on single themes and how they both relate to and diverge from one another.

Many of the prints were created using similar watercolor monotype techniques described on this blog here.

Trumpocolypse: What Now? at the Sacred Gallery in NYC has extended their show until the end of January. The opening was on Jan 20 as a counter-event to the Inauguration in DC. I have a couple of pieces in this show, one of which, a monotype, is shown above. Please visit this really great show of political art from very talented artists.

Protest Posters--UPDATED

UPDATE: This is what the final linocut looks like. I omitted the oil pipeline from Orange Julius' head since I thought it was too weird and distracting. The linocut is on display at Trumpocolypse: What Now? at the Sacred Gallery in NYC and there is a high-res, downloadable, digital version at elanagoren.com.

This is the initial plan for a 18" x 24" woodcut poster that I may be carrying at the Women's March on January 21, 2017. I'm also working on a more woman-oriented one that might be more appropriate. I can save this one for a more general and/or environmental protest. I'll be working on this for the next couple of weeks. This will be one side of the poster.

The other side will be this:

Silkscreened on foam core. Two very different styles, I know, but without access to silkscreen facilities for the next few weeks, I opted to do a woodcut which I can print in my studio.

Solo Show at the Paramount in Peekskill, NY

I was asked on Tuesday to exhibit my work at the Paramount Hudson Valley theater gallery. The thing is, they wanted the show up by today. So, basically, I pulled together a solo show, designed the posters and helped hang the show in two days. The framed work was packed, delivered and hung by late Friday afternoon and the posters were also printed by then. I have honestly never pulled a show together this fast. Whew!

Gallery talk this Thursday, Oct 1

I will be giving an artist talk with fellow artist, Jackie Skrzynski, at the Theo Ganz Gallery in Beacon, NY from 7 – 8 pm. We will be discussing our work in the show that is up in the gallery now. Above is one of my etchings in the show.
