More DescriptionSt. Louis painter Nancy Newman Rice, after her work in two other series, "Reflections" and "Sacred Spaces," finds affinity with TS Eliot's poem, "Ash Wednesday", in a series of new paintings. With light, color and space she dissolves architectural forms into layers and reflections, from the substantial to the ephemeral, the worldly to the heavenly. Through the geometry of scaffolding and window blinds, she evokes ascent to some higher plane of contemplation and transformation. We must use heart, mind and soul, as both Rice and Eliot have, to enter into these sacred spaces and to find meanings in them for ourselves. As part of the Art Space Vincennes' "Spiritual Journeys" series, Nancy Newman Rice's work is an exceptional example of contemporary art worthy of our serious exploration, visually and conceptually.
