Lanny Harrison, Christine Alexander & Lenny Failla
26 May-7 July 2017
The West Kortright Centre in East Meredith, New York presents the work of three artists, including collage artists Lanny Harrison and Christine Alexander.
Performer, visual artist, teacher, and poet Lanny Harrison has been making collages, paintings, cutouts and costumes for most of her life. Harrison is a founding teacher of the West Kortright Centre’s theater workshops, including “Intro to Acting” and “East Meets West”. She also teaches at New York University’s Gallatin School and at Shambhala Meditation Center of New York and is currently working on a mixed-media theatre show, Another Nomadic Event, in collaboration with Steve Clorfeine, Robin Daniels, Christine Alicino, and Wendell Beavers.
Christine Alexander is a contemporary artist whose life-long fascination with colour is reflected in her work. Often whimsical, her paintings are characteristically brightly hued. She paints in watercolour and acrylic, and makes intricate cut-paper collages. Her art has been shown in many solo and group exhibitions, and she teaches art and collage workshops.
Lenny Failla has been actively painting houses for over twenty years, often using cardboard to cover floors and work areas. Failla, a former art teacher, uses the stained and dripped-upon cardboard as a stage for artistic play, adding deliberate strokes, splashes, and found objects.
