On View November 21, 2024 – January 16, 2025
Sharone Putter says of her work, “My art highlights worksites and nondescript events by the side of the road. Areas peripheral to the subject matter are semi-abstracted, bringing the narratives into prominence while retaining the potentiality inherent to the unfinished under-construction scenes. Hand painted enameled elements are attached strategically to the artwork, affecting the pictorial space and the narrative. At times, the elements serve to restrict access. At others, they invite us to take a closer look. The viewer of the artwork gains a shift of perspective regarding the mundane events, which, in turn, validates my decade-long engagement with the fleeting vistas and reinforces my commitment to the work.”
The public is welcomed to an opening reception November 21, 2024 from 6 – 8 p.m. with the exhibition on display through January 16, 2025. Guitarist Fred Norman will provide entertainment for the opening reception.
About Sharone Putter
Putter employs multiple art mediums to create her artwork. Her mixed-media skills are enriched by many years of traveling, studying, and residing abroad, including apprenticing to a jeweler in Jerusalem, Israel, studying glass lampworking in the Czech Republic, and working in porcelain restoration in Dublin, Ireland. She then went on to study philosophy and art history at Hebrew University (Jerusalem, Israel) and glass sculpture and digital printmaking at Alfred University (NY, USA).
Putter resides in Ohio, USA, where her artwork is represented by Sarah Gormley Gallery of Columbus and Hayley Gallery of New Albany. She and her husband, Ran Berdichesky, were recently commissioned to create a 16ft x 52ft metal mural for the new Hilton Columbus Downtown’s reception area and a relief panel for the presidential suite.
In 2023, Putter’s artwork was featured in an online publication of the Los Angeles Printmaking Society, and her enameling art was featured in a periodical of The Enamelist Society. Her artwork and jewelry designs have been exhibited in multiple group shows and art fairs, and are a part of private collections in the USA and abroad; in Germany, Italy, and Israel.
