Peace
January 10 – February 28, 2009
Woodward Gallery

Woodward Gallery is pleased to open the new year with Louise Peabody’s universal message of peace embodied in paintings of female forms in repose.


Louise Peabody’s contented figures transform the Gallery environment into a tranquil place of meditation. Empowered with the ability to elicit quietude in her subjects, Peabody’s work softly emits a calmness not easily conveyed. Peabody drapes her reclining figures with bed linens and sheets both respecting their forms and providing undulating rhythm.


In earlier series, Louise Peabody’s bodylines were well positioned as the horizon; her women became “nudescapes”. In this new series of oil paintings and drawings presented side-by-side, the subjects exude a lasting, uniform serenity. A perfect antidote for our current anxiety.
Peabody’s stable vision of peace is the calming necessity for this time of change.

Woodward Gallery is honored to represent their group of twelve in the exhibition, Gallery Artists ‘06 -’07.


Since 1994, Woodward Gallery has deeply appreciated these individual creative forces of art that affirm beauty and excellence.

Nudescapes
March 5 – April 30, 2004
Woodward Gallery

Woodward Gallery is delighted to premiere recent paintings by Artist Louise Peabody that challenge the conventions of feminine beauty.


Peabody’s paintings hover between the narrative and the purely visual. The naked body is shown as a topography of terrains that react to the variety of painted surroundings.
As a mature painter, Louise Peabody traverses the female form toting the strength of her brush and an unparalleled vision of contour. Her figures exude femininity, power and grace. They simultaneously express natural beauty with subtle reserve and introspection.


The Artist has a keen ability to place her subjects in a setting to elude your eyes. At first glance you may see an expanse of land, the horizon, or perhaps a tall structure. With deliberate juxtaposition of common items-blankets, curtains, beddings – she transforms her figures from landscape to nudescape.


Peabody’s “Nudescapes” engulf your gaze to sensual rounded lines and soft shapes. The journey is peaceful, provocative and an experience not to be missed.
