DESCRIPTION:The Grunwald Gallery of Art is pleased to announce Small is Big\, an exhibit
  of painting by five contemporary painters. Small is Big celebrates the virt
 ues of painting on a small scale through the work of five of its practitione
 rs - Catherine Kehoe\, EM Saniga\, Kew Kewley\, Eve Mansdorf\, and Tim Kenne
 dy. Each artist will give a lecture about their work beginning Tuesday\, Oct
 ober 16 and will end in a panel discussion on Friday\, October 19 in Woodbur
 n Hall 101.  Please visit our website for a full schedule of lectures. The e
 xhibition will open to the public with a reception held on Friday\, October 
 19\, 6:00-8:00pm.

\nSmall paintings are capable of producing a powerful 
 effect on viewers while communicating intimacy. The viewer becomes intensely
  aware of their own space as well as the space in the painting. We see the a
 rtist's hand in the marks on the surface of the panel or canvas that magical
 ly transform themselves at the same instant into a house or a flower - and t
 hen back again. It is an endless circuit that produces the hypnotic illusion
  of stopped time. Small works also permit the pleasure of touch. The scale a
 llows the artist to vicariously caress the things he or she paints. 
\n
\nSi
 nce the invention of photography\, the notion of bearing direct witness has 
 become a blurred category for painters. After all\, Courbet\, the man who de
 claimed\, "Show me an angel and I will paint one"\, sometimes used photograp
 hs as a source for his paintings. Although both Kehoe and Saniga paint from 
 life\, both also on occasion refer to photographic sources. Kennedy and Mans
 dorf carry forward the tradition that works directly from the motif. Kewley 
 uses the motif as a source of inspiration for brief\, intense periods and as
  a point of departure for unknown destinations of formal invention on other 
 occasions. 
\n
\nCatherine Kehoe is represented by Howard Yezerski Gallery\,
  Boston and has received several awards including the Lilian Orlowski and Wi
 lliam Freed Foundation Grant\, a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant and the Be
 rkshire Taconic Artist's Resource Trust Grant. EM Saniga\, who is also a pro
 fessor of Information Technology at the University of Delaware\, was trained
  at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art where he studied with Seymour Remen
 ick among others. He currently shows at Steven Harvey Fine Art Projects in N
 ew York. Ken Kewley has exhibited at Lori Bookstein Gallery in New York and 
 internationally. Eve Mansdorf received her MFA in Painting from Brooklyn Col
 lege in 1990. She has exhibited her work at First Street Gallery and at Gall
 ery Henoch in New York and currently teaches in the painting program at Indi
 ana University. Tim Kennedy received his MFA from Brooklyn College and he at
 tended the Skowhegan School. Articles on his paintings have appeared in Amer
 ican Artist and Watercolor magazines and he is the recipient of two Pollack-
 Krasner Foundation Grants. He also currently teaches painting at Indiana Uni
 versity.
