Artist's Statement
My work is conceptual. I began each piece with a question, usually related to human roles or relationships. I examine myths, symbols, and the origins of how we define ourselves. Sometimes, my work takes me deep into personal experience as I try to understand events in my life. Other times, my work requires me to be more academic. I study history, philosophy, religion and the origin of words to understand the things that have shaped me. I do not believe that art is merely a reflection of what we see in the world. Instead, for me, art is a process of discovery where the work teaches me as much as I shape it. If a topic is worthy as a subject, I know little about it, even as it creates a deep emotional response in me. I try to explore what I do not know, seeking to give form and voice to the thing in each of us that is silent and tantric. The language I use is the language of shape. I have discovered, through years of teaching and application, that sculptural expression takes its root in the symbolism of geometric form. Each of us responds to shapes based on our personal experience of them. For example, a triangle will remind us of a pyramid or mountain and our emotional response to that symbol is predictable. Triangles inspire us with the desire to climb. They are hopeful, transcendent, highly energized and exhilarating. When I use a triangle shape in my sculpture to accentuate an expression, I am describing and qualifying the form of my sculpture like an adjective describes and qualifies a word. The shapes I emphasize reflect a personal philosophy about my journey in life. The subjects I choose to sculpt are the landmarks that illuminate my path. Steel is exciting to me as a medium because it can have an exceptional softness in the final finish. I achieve a combination of organic forms and geometric shapes through the use of my MIG welder and my oxygen/acetylene torch. I create my colors by applying acid patina and heat to the raw metal, after the form has been completed. The combination of techniques allows me the freedom to explore relationships between emotional and intellectual responses to experience. I often refer to my studio as my dungeon. I feel like the Greek god, Hephaestus, who was relegated to the bottom of a volcano after he was horribly deformed. From his smoking, dirty pit he was able to create the most beautiful, metal art. Many believed his deformity enabled him to see beauty more fully. I take his deformity as a metaphor for the human condition, which is mine, and his stature as a god as a metaphor for divine intervention, for which I hope.
Biography
“Allison is as fluent and eloquent a communicator as you will ever meet.” says Mickey Rogers for the Santa Fe New Mexican. “Sculpture has no boundaries. It is not contained within the covers of a book or the borders of a frame. It interacts perpetually with the space around it. Sculpture is infinite and the process of its creation is perpetual. One can watch a sculpture change and shift according to the dictates of its environment like we change and shift according to the dictates of ours. And, like us, the form and soul of each work is individual and eternal, regardless of the effects of external occurrences. Sculpture casts a shadow. It will not break if I bump into it. It does not get put on a shelf, its title obscured by other volumes when I am done reading it. It remains constant, a moment in time, a living thing,” says Allison about the medium she loves. While Allison’s relationship with art dates back to her childhood when art was constantly discussed and debated by her father, a writer, and her mother, a painter, she is predominately a self-taught artist. Born and raised in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Allison moved to Boston, Massachsetts after college where she worked as a free-lance journalist and raised her three children. It was there that she discovered sculpting. Allison fell in love with the art of sculpture while playing with her son’s modeling clay during a moment of writer’s block and domestic frustration. Since then, Allison has focused solely on the art of sculpture. Dedication, tenacity, and what she calls “down right stubbornness” have yielded her current success. Over the last thirteen years, Allison has worked in bronze, stone and steel. She has won several awards and has been represented by galleries from coast to coast. Commissioned works can be seen in schools, churches, museums and government buildings across the country. Allison is currently represented by renowned galleries in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Ojai, California and Middleburg, Virginia. In addition, she exhibits widely in nationally acclaimed, juried art exhibitions. In the past year, she installed a major public work for the town of Clinton, Oklahoma, was nominated as president of the board of the New Mexico Sculptors Guild and received two awards of excellence for her innovative work in steel. Most recently, Allison was awarded first place in sculpture at the Riverwalk Fine Art Festival.

| | | | | Joyce Combs - Houston | | | Thornwood Gallery | | | October 25, 2008 – November 26, 2008 | | | Location: 2643 Colquitt | | | | | | Joyce Combs presents glowing, color infused abstract paintings that compel the
viewer to be introspective…rather like taking a moment to reflect on large ideas.
Similar to hearing a piece of music that makes you stop in your tracks, Joyce
Combs’ large canvases make use of color and texture to reflect the force of the
natural world. She is interested in the psycho-social dimension of the human spirit,
and her work successfully…”shows the complexity of life in layers of time, aging,
and earthly beauty.” Thus, she likes to weather the surfaces of the pieces she paints
by layering on oils with different consistencies, always with an eye to the power of
color to evoke perceptions of inspiration and universal order. Ms. Combs was born
in Southwestern Oklahoma. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree from
Oklahoma State University, then later studied at the Glassel Museum School, the
academic wing of the Museum of Fine Arts of Houston, Texas. She began painting
and producing monoprints in the mid eighties, and several production companies
contracted with her to sell prints to corporate clients and decorators all over the
country. Her distinctive style has been a mark of her success at staying true to her
talent and passion. Galleries in San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Austin, and Fredericksburg Art Gallery carry her work. Joyce Combs has an international reputation, in addition to her acclaim here in the United States. She now lives in Fredericksburg, Texas. | | |
| | | | | Maxine Price - Birdsall Houston | | | Thornwood Gallery | | | November 7, 2008 – November 25, 2008 | | | Location: Birdsall - Houston | | | | | | Opening reception with the artist Friday, November 7th 6-9 pm
Maxine Graham Price grew up in a military family and moved with them to many postings in the southern and eastern climes of the United States as well as Germany. Being a shy child and finding it difficult to make new friends easily, Price found the one constant in her life, other than family, to be her ability to draw and paint.
Price received her BFA degree in Art from the University of Texas at Austin and over her career has pursued various aspects of art including being a book designer, a fashion illustrator, an interior designer, a graphic artist, a portrait artist and a painter showing in numerous galleries and juried shows in the Southwestern United States. Many of her portraits hang on the campuses of The University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M University, and St. Mary’s University School of Law in San Antonio. Her original oil paintings are in numerous corporate and private collections throughout the United States, Mexico, England, Germany, Japan and Bermuda.
While still doing an occasional portrait, Price decided in 1992 to make creative painting a full time pursuit and began a journey of experimentation and exploration, working with various mediums including watercolor, acrylics and liquid inks. Several years ago, during a visit to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, she began noticing abstract patterns in the ancient walls and began a series of abstract paintings, in oils with palette knife, inspired by the colors and textures of old San Miguel. Thus began a love affair with oils, the palette knife and abstraction that continues today.
“ Maxine Price works in many different series but works equally well in them all. One reason for this is the evolved and consistent level in which she works. Price has great facility with her chosen technique, an instinctive sense of color and harmonic composition. Her choices, placements and handling of deep saturated color are inspired and cannot be taught. Her work is always fresh, alive and never overworked. This comes only from experience. Price makes the most of the impasto effects and has a sure and confident gestural hand. These paintings have great appeal and the sculptural effect of the paintings provides them with a corpo and presence that gives them the impression of being objects themselves.”
