Affinities: Olga Seem and Maritta Tapanainen

Couturier Gallery

Last Chance - April 20 through May 25, 2013

Focusing on the contrasting disciplines of drawing and collage, Affinities highlights the shared intricacies that both artists bring to their individual approaches examining the micro-macrocosm world around them. The biological definition of affinity is 'a relationship or resemblance in structure between species that suggests a common origin,' which very aptly describes the creative evolution of these two artists.
