Wilde Meyer presents Variety with four artists who masters explore various subjects in forms and materials.

Sherri Belassen divides and shapes her stylized figure silhouettes with lines, texture and layers, dissolving foreground with background. She pinpoints a feeling, idea or emotion to represent iconic figures and animals of the Southwest such as cowboys, steers, horses. In other subjects, she represents activities like skiing, Pilates a pair of dancers or moods like a couple romantically leaning into each other to a figure relaxing in a hammock.

Merlin Cohen’s sculptures are gem stones carved into fluid forms which are interpretations of the Mobius strip, an infinite ribbon that twists into itself. In other works, Cohen balances the natural pattern and fissures he discovers in the stones with simple, geometric shapes.

Much like the water carving canyons that often appear in her paintings, Acacia Alder molds thick brush marks that have a sculptural relief effect. Alder leads viewers on a pleasing journey into her own canyons, river beds and fields.

A quick and spontaneous painter, Karen Bezuidenhout draws from her memories of her childhood home in rural South Africa. Using an earthy palette, Bezuidenhout animals and farm scenes convey energy.
