ARLENE SHECHET
NEW WORK, Elizabeth Harris Gallery, NYC, 2007; NOW AND AWAY, Shoshana Wayne Gallery, Santa Monica, CA, 2008
Her new glazed ceramic vessel-sculptures are terrific, full of references yet almost debt-free… Sexy, devout, ugly and beautiful all at the same time, they move effortlessly between art and religion and East and West, and from painting and sculpture to craft and ritual. –Roberta Smith, NYTimes, Sept. 14, 2007
