Some Much Needed R&R at First Friday in Fishtown
R&R? That'd be Rebecca Jacoby and Robert Solomon, and you can check out their latest work this Friday, November 2nd in Fishtown. Check out more First Friday in Fishtown events here and add our favorite pick below to your list!
FIRST FRIDAY AT 1816 FRANKFORD AVENUE
Location: 1816 Frankford Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19125
Reception and opening will be on December 2nd, 2011 from 5pm to 8pm. The show will run until the end of January and is open by appointment.
1816 Frankford Ave is pleased to present the work of artists Rebecca Jacoby and Rob Solomon.
Rebecca Jacoby's abstract work on paper in acrylic, pen, marker and collage relies on process, impulse and a love of mark making. Jacoby says, “My goal is to possess a range of skills, avoid limitations and challenge myself intellectually, emotionally and creatively”. www.rajacoby.com
Robert Solomon’s background is in sculpture, installation/assemblage and architecture. His artistic journey has taken him from a conceptual and intellectual bri-coleur approach to a physical alchemy of substances (wax, oil, water) on paper, canvas and fabric. His recent work involves ideas, constructs, memory and time using and abusing art-based materials and tools. inliquid.org/complete-
