AG Gallery in Williamsburg is pleased to announce "papyrus," a group exhibition by four artists who are familiar with the paper medium. Each artist will demonstrage their own unique relationship between paper and their world of creation.

Mathilde Roussel-Giraudy is a French artist who combines drawing, printmaking, sculpture, book art, and photography in her works. She explores the interconnec ted value of identity and memory. In this exhibition, she will show two of her styles in the themes of memory and dream.

Mary Bucci McCoy is a Beverly, MA - based artist who actively creates a cummunity of artists, including work for MIT's Dean's Gallery and membership in her town's culture council. As an artist, she continuously works through acrylic painting on wood panel and paper. For this exhibition, AG Gallery will feature her works on Okawara paper, a soft and strong Japanese paper.

Susan Belle is a New York-based artist who studied at FIT and SUNY Purchase College. For this exhibition you will see her small drawings for a zine called "Shuttle Cakes." Inspired by decadent desserts and science fiction illustration, her black and white drawings contain highly ornate space shuttles drifting through microcosms of celestial dust. Her work has been shown in periodicals, such as Worn Fashion Journal.

Edda Tara Hansen was born in Hong Kong and moved to London as a teenager. She finished her master's degree in art at Central Saint Martins College of Art. Currently, she lives in Brooklyn. Her signature artwork is pen and ink drawing on large pieces of paper in multiple colors. The drawings take different meanings depending on the viewers distance from the works.

An opening reception will be held on Friday, September 17 from 6 - 9 PM, and the "papyrus" exhibition will be on view through Sunday, November 21, 2010.
