In November, Partners Gallery is exhibiting the mixed media abstract paintings of Arlene Reiss in a show called “Two Years, Two Coasts.” This body of work represents the culmination of her artistic explorations over the last two years in her studios located on the Mendocino Coast and the Pacific Coast of Mexico. The acrylic and mixed media paintings in this collection reflect the contrasts in atmosphere she experiences in these two locations. There is a wide variety of work in this collection both in terms of size, color intensity or subtlety, texture, and forms. They all share her personal feelings evoked by the colors and natural beauty of each coast.
