The exhibition, “Marjorie Bender and Barbara Vogel: Family and Friends” of photos, collage, acrylic, mixed media and clay will be on view in the Dublin Arts Council gallery at 7125 Riverside Drive in Dublin, Ohio from Tuesday, April 7 through May 16. A reception for the artists will be from 6:00 to 8:00 pm.
The show brings together earlier and more recent works by both artists and will feature a new collaborative project that pays homage to a number of their mutual friends and mentors. It also offers a moving and amusing look at the pivotal relationships of our lives: those with our families and friends. The artists excel in conveying the many dimensions of our closest relationships and in utilizing humor, sometimes whimsical, sometimes dark, to undercut sentimentality.
Artist Bender of Potomac, Maryland and is best known for her clay sculptures, but also produces drawings and paintings. Vogel, of Columbus, Ohio has a background in photography. Many of Vogel’s artworks continue to connect to photographic images, often in unexpected ways. Both artists have Bachelor and Master of Fine Arts degrees from the Ohio State University.
