Melanie Parke will be in the first exhibition of the new year at the Emily Amy Gallery in Atlanta, Georgia.
The exhibition,"The Feminine in Abstract Painting: New works by Cora Cohen, Melanie Parke, Kiki Slaughter, and Margie Stewart' features four women abstract painters. Gallery owner Emily Amy says this about the exhibition,…"Although the "feminine" can no longer be defined as a strictly female trait, artwork is often seen as inherently feminine or masculine in nature. By delving into the oeuvres of four female abstract painters from different regions, backgrounds, and generations the notion of the "feminine" will be simultaneously challenged and embraced. By exploring the style and context of each artists' work in relation to qualities that are often associated with femininity (such as sensuality and sensitivity) the consideration of a "feminine" in abstract painting will manifest itself."

The exhibition runs February 12 - March 19 , 2010 and you can meet Melanie Parke at the opening reception Friday February 12 7pm- 10pm. For more information about the show go to www.emilyamygallery
