The Kravets/Wehby Gallery is pleased to announce LARGE FORMAT, a group exhibition of new works on paper by Nina Chanel Abney, Sydney Chastain-Chapman, Manuel Esnoz, Aaron Romine and Aya Uekawa.

The exhibition opens Saturday, February 2 with a reception from 6-8 pm and runs through March 8, 2008.

LARGE FORMAT presents a grouping of new large-scale works on paper. Nina Chanel Abney strings together four pieces of paper in a seamless narrative about the identity crises of a close friend. Sydney Chastain-Chapman sets an expansive horizon of prefab Victorian houses with lawns teeming in suburbanite paraphernalia. Manuel Esnoz has woven together dozens of strips of paper to create a textured working surface that fractures a group of figures. Aaron Romine exhibits breath-taking detail and strange angles in a larger-than-life work on paper. Aya Uekawa creates densely rendered charcoal drawings with heightened contrast and illusion in space.
