NEW YORK, NY – September 15, 2005 - World Art Media and Broadway Gallery (473 Broadway, 7th Floor, New York NY 10013) are pleased to announce the opening of Organically Speaking, a group exhibition curated by artist Charles Hecht. The exhibit runs from September 16th- 30th, featuring works of four contemporary sculptors: Harry Gordon, Michelle Greene, Charles Hecht and Richard Polo. Organically Speaking combines works made of organic materials such as wood as well as metal and synthetic sculptures, all unified in a celebration of nature. The opening reception will take place on Wednesday September 21st, from 6-8pm.

Charles Hecht will be premiering his Coral Segment Series: Silver Sea Slug 2005, “This series represents a technique of combining the creation of a metal sculpture and then ‘covering it’ with essentially transparent glass to create the type of scene and feeling realized by an outsider looking into an unfamiliar world. To express a concept or sensation, the artist should not be afraid to explore the use of new techniques and new materials. For instance, in depicting a segment of a coral reef, I use a cutting torch to melt and manipulate the steel. As a result, the viewer understands the resemblance between the texture of a coral reef and that of the volcano that formed it.”
