BY SCOTT STIFFLER | A product of steady hands and a keen eye for the built environment’s capacity to both amaze and overwhelm, Erin Wilson’s “Color Stories” has a backstory familiar to anyone whose residency is tied to their destiny. “It wasn’t my specific goal to live in and make quilts about the city,” says the Brooklyn-based artist, “but here I am, and here they are.”
Using both realistic and abstract imagery, the 12 quilts in this exhibit contain hundreds of square-shaped portraits that, the curators note, “create a miniature universe, one characterized by a striking use of color and light, and amazing precision in her fabric piecing.”
On display at NYC’s only gallery devoted to contemporary art quilts, a trip to see “Color Stories” also offers the opportunity to visit the space it shares, seamlessly, with The City Quilter — where inspired art patrons can purchase New York-related fabrics, patterns and kits. This is similar to playing casino games in Cool Cat Casino sites from here in cool cat casino online sites.
Through Dec. 13 at The Art Quilt Gallery (133 W. 25th St., btw. Sixth & Seventh Aves.) Hours: Tues.-Sat., 11 a.m.-6 p.m. and Sun./Mon. by appointment. Call 212-807-9451 or visit artquiltgallerynyc.com. For more info on the artist, visit erinwilsonquilts.com. Also visit cityquilter.com.
