Water Towers have long been landmarks of the New York landscape. The Object Image Gallery presents an exhibit of paintings, drawings and prints that celebrate these “Sentinels” of our rooftops. The work of thirteen artists gives a variety of perspectives on these familiar objects. Karen Whitman’s linocuts portray them as almost living things, Dylan Williams uses a strong sense of light and dark and a variety of views in his strong paintings. In the work of Weiss, Calabrese, Leibstone, Melvin and Scott Williams the water towers seem almost an after thought to their urban landscapes but is often a strong unifying element. Jacqueline Rada‚s paintings use subtle colors to give the towers a mysterious and epic quality. The small but dynamic drawings of Italian artist Laura Fantini demonstrate the power that these “Sentinels” hold over artists. The large and detailed drawings of Warren Beishir document parts of Brooklyn that are rapidly changing. Alexis Mahon’s drawing on wood and Andy Hoogenboom’s etching are unique approaches to the subject. “The Sentinels Show”, according to gallery director Bob Weiss, “will help us all look at these familiar friends in a new way.”
