SMALL FACES UNBOUND
SMALL FACES UNBOUND The title of this collection comes from the lyric in, The Byrds’ song, “Eight Miles High.” This ripe phrase evokes a range of fantastic imagery; uninhibited children, shrunken heads, unencumbered puppets and marvelous dismemberment to name a few things that popped into my head. Rather than discovering hidden faces or seeing them in inanimate objects (pareidolia), we focused on indelible visages—stark, psychological and philosophical—existential and mythological, some animal, some mysterious and some absurd. January 19-22, 2017. Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 W 18th St, New York, NY 1001. Additional show information: stevenspowers.com

In 1962, George E. Morgan was 91 years old and living in a rest home in Gardiner,<br />
Maine. Wanting to do more than paint-by-numbers, Morgan started painting<br />
“memory paintings” of his earlier life along the Kennebec River.<br />
Most of Morgan’s works are map-like landscapes, however these two figurative<br />
works display Morgan’s attention to detail and strong compositional skills. The<br />
painting to the right, “Hazzard Band,” illustrates the factory where he worked.<br />
