A reception for the artists and the public

“Wounded Landscapes” raises conversation around the work of two artists, who, independent of each other, have created a body of work that addresses the impact of the Holocaust through their personal approaches. The artists have not met in person, but both Baldner and Galles wrestle with their own stories and perspectives, as seen in a number of drawings and print pieces which are both evocative and provocative. While they have both been aware of each other’s work, it is the first time that it has been shown together.

“Juxtaposing their drawings, prints and art books reveals the creative tension contained in, and exuding from, their respective works," said Bjorn Krondorfer, Director of Martin-Springer Institute and Endowed Professor of Religious Studies at NAU. “The proposed exhibit promises to be a unique encounter between two mature and recognized artists.”
