New Canaan, CT—Sorelle Gallery is pleased to announce our first exhibition of 2015, DE|CONSTRUCT, featuring the work of Christine Averill-Green and Caroline Morgan. Open February 5th through March 10th at Sorelle’s New Canaan, CT Gallery.

Christine Averill-Green is a resident of Upstate New York. She has been exhibiting her artwork in galleries and museums for over 40 years. Christine received her B.A. in Art with a double minor in Music/Theatre from Russell Sage College; she then went on to receive her M.S. in Art Education from the College of Saint Rose. Artists that have influenced Christine’s work include Richard Diebenkorn, Euan Eglow, Antonio Lopez Garcia.

Originally from New Jersey, Caroline Morgan is currently living and working in Albany, New York. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Providence College. Caroline has been successful in showing her work in galleries from Tampa, FL to Victoria, British Columbia. As she continues her travels, she finds new worlds to explore and recreate on canvas.

Averill-Green and Morgan’s work follows a theory of Claude Monet of seeing the world through shapes and colors rather than familiar objects and scenes. “When you go out to paint, try to forget what objects you have before you…merely think here is a little square of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow and paint it just as it looks to you.” Caroline takes inspiration from her extensive travels to create an environment of bold shapes and colors within her work, allowing her pieces to provide a fresh perspective on landscape painting. Averill-Green, also uses this idea within her work, playing with a balance between abstract and representation to create her unique style. Her work, as she states stems from a “fascination with the textures and layers, colors and mysteries of our own lives.”
