Now Thru June 25, 2009 “Language of Life” Nancy Pene & Jenik
Cook. Nancy’s
beautifully executed Raku pottery is indeed a feast for the eyes. A potter for
over 30 years, she challenges the medium and the process by applying her personal vision
of Raku for today. Her work is extraordinary, resulting in an amazing range of color. Her
Stoneware and Raku works are in private and corporate collections through the U.S. and
Europe. Jenik's achievement in her body of work is to have arrived at a point in
her mastery to create works that are not only pictorially engaging on formal levels but to
create, also, philosophically teasing and profound images. The artist's visionary
exaltations refer to the enigmatic presence of lived life, aware of itself and of its
limitations, yet pressing on and filled with a sense of exultation at infinite
possibilities. The Creative Arts Center Gallery is located at 1100
West Clark Avenue, Burbank, California. Gallery hours are Monday through Thursday 9:00
a.m. - 8:00 p.m., Friday 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Saturday hours vary. Please contact the
Gallery at 818.238.5397 for additional information. Language of
