490 Atlantic Gallery is presenting an exhibition titled "Seeing Through" featuring recent paintings by Emily Berger, Nancy Manter, and Anne Russinof from April 20 to June 1, 2013. The exhibition explores how we see and interpret our visual and psychological worlds. Through layering of rich marks and surfaces, the artists create complex spaces that hover between closeness and depth. The influence of landscape is suggested peripherally, having been experienced and reinvented like a window opening to an expansive view. Fluidly painted on various surfaces, the works capture concrete yet temporal forms.

Seeing Through explores the process by which we see and interpret our visual and psychological worlds. These three artists investigate and construct forms or places that speak to the flux, change and beauty of the ever changing environment in which we live. Process characterizes each artists work. Layering rich marks, brushstrokes and surfaces they create complex and mysteri- ous spaces that hover between what is visually close and almost tactile, to far and deep space. Middle ground is often hidden or eliminated through structures that are loosely based on the grid, on line or somewhere in between. The influence of landscape is in the periphery of these artists vision. It has been seen, experienced and reinvented, much like a small window that opens up to an expansive view. Fluidly painted, wet or dry in medium, on canvas, wood or aluminum panels, the work captures forms that are concrete and yet also temporal and transitory. These artists explore the balance be- tween what is constructed and what is chaotic, making their paintings seem timeless and yet also startlingly fresh.
