chashama presents
Aimee Hertog, All That Glitters
July 2- 30, 2006
chashama gallery, 112 w.44th street, NY, NY
Opening reception Friday, July 14th 6-9 pm

Ms. Hertog assembles her pieces with found objects, incorporating them in her surrealistic/abstract sculpture and collages. Materials she uses include resin, glitter, ink, sponges and discarded baby toys that used to belong to her son. She is not afraid of color, and many of her pieces reflect the influence of transcendent art of Miro and Calder.
In the spring of this year, Ms. Hertog was in a group show at Long Beach Arts in California juried by former Metropolitan Museum of Art Curator Darlene DeAngelo. Concurrently, she was in the “Texas National” show, juried by New York artist Paul Brach. Other recent shows include the “War is Over” exhibition at Sideshow Gallery and the “Black and White” show at the Holland Tunnel Gallery, both in Brooklyn. In November of this year, she will have a one-person show at the Mind Puddles Gallery in Houston, and in January of next year, she will have a one-person show at Galeria Janet Kurnatowski in Brooklyn. Ms. Hertog is participating in “…and the levee Broke: meditations on the power of water” traveling exhibition to benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina, originated by Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia.
Other recent shows include a group show at the Alpan Gallery in Huntington, New York, juried by former New York Times critic Phyllis Braff and a “Brush with Art,” a Havre De Grace, Maryland show juried by Stephen Bennett Phillips, chief curator of the Phillips Collection in Washington D.C.
Also on exhibit is Howard Skrill’s Thru Rain.
