Toni Fiderio prefers still life subjects and Anita Rogoff will exhibit images of the human figure. Both women delight in floral watercolors and paint vibrant images from their own backyard gardens. Nature offers an inexhaustible source of shapes an colors produced by light whether it be flowers from a grassy hill, found objects set aside or my purposeful arrangement of objects chose for their shapes and colors. Just the right amount of light and color inspires me to paint. Anita Rogoff an accomplished educator and painter has studied the human form in drawing sessions every Friday for many years.
Few people are interested in studying the figure anymore.
It takes many long hours to capture the essence of movement, pose, and expression. No one wants to take the time for that kind of seeing and training. Rogoff will exhibit a selection of her figure studies for the first time in Cleveland. It is an intimate and spontaneous approach to the human figure that is fresh in its simplicity. The exhibition in the Performing Arts Center is open Monday through Friday from noon until 6 p.m. or by appointment.
