Tatana Kellner | Sideway Glances
Exhibition Dates: February 17 – March 10, 2024
Opening Reception: Saturday, February 17, 2024, 5 – 7 pm
Garrison Art Center (GAC) is pleased to announce ‘Sideway Glances,’ an exhibition of paintings and prints by Tatana Kellner. This is the artist’s first solo show at GAC.

The exhibition will run from February 17 – March 10, 2024, with an opening reception on Saturday, February 17, from 5-7 pm. A founder of the Women’s Studio Workshop in Rosendale, NY, Kellner’s personal history has led her to think about how society as a whole learns about the past and how that interpretation affects our
understanding of contemporary culture and, ultimately, our lives. The current political landscape, with the erosion of civil liberties and the deterioration of public dialog, parallels her experience growing up in communist Czechoslovakia as the daughter of Holocaust survivors.

Contemplating today’s stressed and troubling world, Kellner utilizes painting and printmaking to create new pathways and visions to allow us to breathe and find a way to move forward in our troubled yet beautiful world. Her process is organic, expressive, and intuitive. Tatana is interested in exploring the unknown, welcoming each day with bravery and an open heart. Through a process of accumulation
and subtraction, Kellner embraces the subjectivity of her particular experience and perspective.

‘Sideway Glances’ will be on view concurrently with ‘Painting Out Loud’, an exhibition of paintings by Stanford Kay. The galleries at Garrison Art Center are open Tuesday – Sunday, 10 am – 5 pm.
