JOE CYPRESSI: FORM LIFE
Opening Reception: Thursday, October 18, 7:30 – 9 pm
Exhibit runs from October 19 to November 10
Holtzman MFA Art Gallery Center for the Arts
Towson University
MFA candidate Joe Cypressi creates large-scale organic paper pulp sculptures that incorporate the human figure through both representations of actual body parts as well as the implication of sheltering the body. Representation inherently calls on the viewer’s memory as the subject is identified. Illusion offers the viewer a transcendent experience as the subject exists only through the reproduction or representation of it. That transcendental action helps us escape into the illusion. The undulating and organic forms provide an imagined world that envelops the viewer.
Gallery Hours: Tuesday thru Saturday, 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.

“Imagined Realities” features the works of artists who create with such fantastic attention to detail that believability is almost impossible to question. They convince us through flawless technique and unique visual storytelling to accept flights of fantasy that we know cannot be true. And they challenge us to enter into worlds where it is possible to be both accurate and imaginative within the same compositional spaces.”
Friday, October 19th, 5-10pm for the Open Studio Tour Kick-Off Party in Hampden!
You’ll be able to view our “Construction Work” exhibit (ending Saturday, October 27th), as well as art by other local artists.

Alex Ebstein
October 20 – November 24, 2012
Opening reception Saturday, October 20, 7 – 10pm
sophiajacob is proud to present a solo exhibition of artwork by Alex Ebstein.
This exhibition will include works that exemplify a meandering process of art-making via a faithful relationship with craft, utilitarian, and traditional materials. Reflecting an equal balance of emotional and concrete influences, each piece is decidedly experimental. Rooted in the gap that exists between two and three dimensions, Alex’s work deconstructs abstraction by uncovering layers of uncertainty, be they compositional, material, or personal.
Alex Ebstein graduated from Goucher College with a BA in Studio Art in 2007 and is currently an MFA student at Towson University. Alex has exhibited work nationally, including group exhibitions, Fakin’ It at the University of Cincinnati, Three Vertices at LVL 3 and The Empty Vessel at Manifest Exhibitions, both in Chicago. An active writer and curator, Alex is also co-director of Nudashank. This will be her first solo exhibition in Baltimore. A full color-catalog and interview with the artist will be available at the exhibition.
Gallery hours are Saturdays 1 – 4 p.m. or by appointment. For further information or inquiries, please contact the gallery by email at info(at)sophiajacob(dot)com.
