Hidden Teeth
New Paintings by Adriana Atema

Opening: Friday March 11th 2005
Runs till April 3rd

Adriana Atema has been making paintings in Upstate New York when she's not running with animals, feeding the horses, and tending to her wood stove. Her work fills a void in one's psyche, where the entaglements of indecisive decision-making co-exist in a timeless limbo with too much coffee, too many secrets, too many places to go and not enough time. Scenes of tenderness, love, and chaos co-inhabit these paintings on wood with fantastical birds and octopuses, colorful rainbows of light and dense layers of faces, eyes, and houses. She has come out of winter hibernation to show her work at Cinders for all of you. See Pics of the Opening here
