Varnish's show, 3 to the 3rd (April 18 trhough June 3, 2006) celebrates the gallery's third anniversary and features work by metal sculptor Eric Elliot in his Bay Area debut, along with intaglio printmaker Kevin Evans and ceramic sculptor/installation artist Elizabeth Orleans. Elliot's metal pieces, cast in stainless steel or bronze, measure about 27" high, 11" deep and 18" wide. Using the female form as his starting point, Elliot creates round and robust figures that are uniform in their grace and strong presence. Evans's intaglio prints are muted and pale with gentle washes of subtle colors creating visceral imagery recalling the likes of H.R. Giger, the otherworldly landscapes of HP Lovecraft and Blake's mysticism. Sculptor Orleans works in clay uses her creations to tell "ceramic tales." Her work appeals to the imagination and invites you to come in for a closer look to see what story can be told in the clues she puts into her sculptures.
