DATES: May 5 – 26, 2023
OPENING RECEPTION: Friday, May 5, 6-9pm
643 Project Space is pleased to announce, His, Hers, and Theirs, an exhibition of work by artists Marjorie and Bob Moskowitz. Individually, Marjorie’s paintings examine the nuances of color and light in nature, and they magnify a moment in time when plants are at the peak of their reproductive cycle. Bob’s paintings suggest that the aspects of the human condition are in context with the subject’s culture which can be revealed through observation and a peeling back of the layers.
He states that, “there is power in the mundane,” and he attempts to record moments of human significance in the commonplace. Collaboratively, Marjorie and Bob weave together their individual styles to create engaging and complicated work.
Marjorie Moskowitz, a native of St. Louis, Missouri, holds a B.S in Business, a B.F.A. and an M.F.A. in Painting from Washington University in St. Louis. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. She has been represented by galleries, in the Midwest, the East and West Coasts. Her work has been widely collected and is part of many private and public collections. She currently lives in and maintains her studio in Southern California.
Born in Newark, New Jersey, Bob Moskowitz moved with his family to the Bronx where he lived through kindergarten until they moved to Philadelphia, where he lived for 22 years. He earned a B.A. in Liberal Arts from Westchester University and later a four-year certificate from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. There he won a Franklin Watkins Grant and a Scheidt European Scholarship. In 1977 he moved to St. Louis, Missouri to attend graduate school at Washington University where he met his wife, artist Margie Moskowitz. He earned an M.F.A. in Painting in 1979 and taught in St. Louis and Illinois until moving to California to teach at Ventura College where he is the art department chair.
