Rust Never Sleeps – the art of Pamela Talese

October 23, 2009 · Filed Under Galleries, Ships 

Pamela Talese gets it.  Her paintings of ships, drydocks, cranes and industrial buildings manage to capture the essence of the waterfront -  the inexorable wasting away balanced against the stubborn resilience and abiding strength of these structures, afloat and ashore.   I stopped by the Atlantic Gallery this week to see her new show “Rust Never Sleeps – Corrosion and Renewal in Maritime/ Industrial New York.”    Check out her website  to see her other paintings.  Her Working Waterfront , Navy Yard and 718 galleries all capture the beauty and decay of monuments to days past.  

See also Tugster’s blog for a side by side presentation of some of Will’s photos and Pam’s paintings, here and here.    The Brooklyn Eagle also features a recent interview.  Click on the thumbnails below to view a larger image.

    Magnificent. You’re right — she “gets it.”

    She gets rust, but will probably never get rusty: incredibly prolific, all-weather, rugged painter.
    She’ll be at the gallery all day wed, the 28th. Hope to see some of you there!

    Pamela’s paintings are like poems for the eyes; potent reminders of New York City’s greatness and mortality. I want to thank her each time she puts paint on canvas.
