Oehmig,
12" x 12" oil and gold-leaf on board, September 2008.
Donna Oehmig's Ten to the Tenth embodies the artist's new found interest and love of geometry and its significance in human lives since ancient times. She's been examining the connection of these figures to spirituality and our existence. The most striking element in her work is gold leaf, another material used throughout the ages, and, when combined with encaustic, creates incredible, shimmering, moving surfaces.
Oehmig will be joined by Dayton native, sculptor
Donna Caron. Presently, Caron's show, entitled Awakening, is centered on
the human form as a visual symbol. Beyond its physical presence, the figure
exists as a reflection of our perception of the ancient, the eternal. For
her, these vestiges invoke a deep appreciation of our origins and a sacred
connection to creation that exceeds physical boundaries.
