Diane Banks and Deanna Lee

The Lake George Arts Project’s Courthouse Gallery presents a two person exhibition of new work by Diane Banks and Deanna Lee. The opening reception takes place on Saturday, September 17, 6 - 8 pm, during the intermission of performances at the Lake George Arts Project’s JAZZ WEEKEND.  Come celebrate art and music in Lake George!  These events are FREE and open to the public.
 
Diane Banks creates mysterious, elegant objects out of common discarded materials. Plastic bottles and other debris that may have been intended for the landfill are given new life.  In transforming waste into lively animated objects she reminds us of the old adage: “One person’s trash is another’s treasure.”
 
In a process she calls “controlled doodling”, Deanna Lee’s paintings develop from clusters of lines that accumulate into masses that evoke organic forms like hair, muscles, fungi, waves, or wind currents. She says: “My goal is to arrive at a state of curiosity and tension in each work, where the forms suggest but do not declare their identities or purpose”.

This exhibition is funded in part by Price Chopper's Golub Foundation and the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency. The Courthouse Gallery hours during exhibitions are Tuesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm, Saturday 12 – 4 pm, and all other times by appointment. The Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets, Lake George, NY.
