3rd Floor Gallery

Curated by Marci Rubin

Artistic surfaces include paper, canvas, wood, metal, clay, fabric, glass, found objects, or the outside of anything that an artist can build work upon. Artists activate a surface by applying their medium to the selected substrate using their specific techniques and skills. Transforming the surface could include actions such as: carving, drawing, enameling, glazing, painting, plastering, pouring, printing, staining, upholstering, or varnishing. Finished surfaces are often described as matte or gloss; textured or patterned; soft or hard; and rough or smooth.
