Press release
Judy Atlas (Web) drew inspiration for her abstract paintings from the "scenery of the street"—ranging from remnants of European antiquities in ancient Pompeii to the notices, flyers and graffiti seen on the streets of contemporary New York. The acrylic and mixed media paintings utilize shapes, images, light and mark making to reflect the artist’s personal journey, and to begin one for the viewer.

Exploring Layers will be on view at City Gallery from Feb. 2—26. An Opening Reception will be held this Saturday, Feb. 4, from 2—5 p.m. A Closing Reception for the exhibit will be held Sun., Feb. 26, from noon—5 p.m.
