June 5 – Aug. 2, 2015 in the Hopper Hallway Gallery; Reception First Friday, June 5, 6-8 pm
We are pleased to present Elinore Schnurr’s series, “Outside Looking In,” in the Hopper Hallway Gallery this summer. To create these paintings, Schnurr uses a digital camera to capture images of bars and cafes with reflective windows that expose the interior of the spaces while revealing the people and objects on the exterior. Reflections and motion, when caught first with a camera, create transparencies and multiple layers that the artist then weaves into the final paintings. The effect recalls Edward Hopper’s frequent images of subjects viewed through windows or looking out of windows. In particular, Schnurr’s work pays homage to one of Hopper’s most well known paintings, Nighthawks.
