JUNE
Selina Trieff and Robert Henry
  |
Selina Trieff and Robert Henry, two artists who have been married for 55 years, are having a joint show of small works at the Truro COA in June 2011. They both studied with Hans Hofmann in Provincetown and New York in the 1950’s and have extensive exhibiting, teaching, and collections histories. Drawing is very important to both of them, and they both will be showing works on paper. Trieff has been working recently with Sharpie pens. These works, usually of one or two women, are highly personal and expressive. Also she will be showing some of her signature small oil and gold leaf paintings. Henry will be showing gouache paintings, a medium that he has been using recently to explore for subjects and compositions that he later realized in larger oil paintings.
