Tomorrow night! 6-9pm! 🎉@dannybalgley @anna__pietrzak Open their exhibition Penumbrae @edvarie 🎉 Ed. Varie is pleased to present Penumbrae, two person exhibition with Danny Balgley and Anna Pietrzak. Opening reception will be held Friday, December 9th from 6-9pm at Ed. Varie, 184 E. 7th Street, New York, NY. Diving into the etymology of the word Penumbrae , and several definitions cross reference culture, science, and even government. In all contexts, the term defines a "gray area." Gray area, as defined in science, is the space within a shadow that is neither completely devoid of light nor shade but where both exist together. Penumbrae can also be used to identify something on the outskirts or periphery. Balgley's and Pietrzak's work explores the subtle gray area between abstraction and figuration. Both of their practices involve dark, moody palettes that emote qualities of shadows and light. It is this tension in this duality that contributes to the dynamism of their final pieces. In their works, and also by definition of Penumbrae, there exists a relationship to memory, and connotations to "a place where someone or something is or was”.
