Shizu Saldamando takes portraiture personally in her exhibition There is a Place. Using the old adage "draw what you know" as a jumping off point, Saldamando finds her motley crew of friends perfect fodder for subject matter. Rendered from photographs taken in social situations and then stripped of their background to eliminate context, there's a resonance in Salamando's colored pencil drawings that hits just the right note. Simplified and streamlined, her friends become our friends in an eerily recognizable way.
