SUMMARY:Celia Reisman: Chosen Places
DESCRIPTION:Paul Thiebaud Gallery proudly unveils "Chosen Places\," a capti
 vating showcase featuring the latest artworks by the talented Philadelphia
 -based artist\, Celia Reisman. Scheduled for debut on Saturday\, February 
 17th\, the exhibition promises a delightful experience with an opening rec
 eption from 3-5pm\, accompanied by an engaging artist talk at 3:30pm. Atte
 ndees can immerse themselves in eleven exquisite paintings and drawings ca
 pturing the essence of suburban landscapes across the United States\, alon
 gside a fresh series inspired by Reisman's enriching teaching expedition t
 o Ireland in the summer of 2023. Blurring the lines between realism and ab
 straction\, Reisman's creations celebrate the allure of everyday domestic 
 architecture and its harmonious integration within the natural landscape. 
 The exhibition will grace the gallery walls until April 6\, 2024.\n\nFor C
 elia Reisman\, the essence of a place lies in its memory - the intricate i
 nterplay of structures\, the organic arrangement of flora\, and the interp
 lay of light. Drawing inspiration from her surroundings in suburban Philad
 elphia and her extensive travels across the United States and abroad\, Rei
 sman's body of work serves as a visual chronicle\, akin to a personal diar
 y capturing her myriad experiences. Departing from literal representation\
 , she skillfully simplifies details\, distorts proportions\, and infuses v
 ibrant colors to evoke the emotive resonance of each scene.\n\nReisman's d
 rawings provide a glimpse into her creative process\, revealing the meticu
 lous construction of compositions. Through delicate graphite lines overlai
 d with expertly applied watercolors\, each piece embodies a compression of
  space and a selective isolation of elements - hallmarks of Reisman's matu
 re style. Echoing the abstracted aesthetics of early 20th-century American
  Regionalists like Milton Avery and Thomas Hart Benton\, her artworks also
  pay homage to the flat color planes reminiscent of post-impressionist Nab
 is painters from late 19th-century France.\n\nHailing from Syracuse\, NY\,
  Celia Reisman spent her formative years in Cleveland Heights\, OH\, befor
 e pursuing her passion for painting at Carnegie-Mellon University (BFA 197
 1) and later earning an MFA from the prestigious Yale School of Art in 197
 8. Throughout her illustrious career\, Reisman has garnered acclaim\, rece
 iving numerous awards\, grants\, and residencies\, including the 2001 Leew
 ay Foundation - Window of Opportunity Award\, the 2004 Rochefort-en-Terre 
 Painting Residency in Brittany\, France\, and the 2009 Hassan\, Speicher\,
  Betts\, and Symons Fund Purchase from the American Academy of Arts and Le
 tters. Her works adorn corporate and private collections across the United
  States\, reflecting her enduring influence and artistic resonance. "Chose
 n Places" marks Reisman's third solo exhibition at Paul Thiebaud Gallery\,
  a testament to her enduring creative prowess and unwavering commitment to
  artistic excellence.\n\nFor further information and media inquiries\, int
