Art and Egg

The Armory Art Center is not just a gallery; it’s an artists’ retreat, a sort of West Point for the creative. Last year, two world-renowned artists, Suzanne Scherer and Pavel Ouporov, joined Armory as the “2-D Artists in Residence” and taught a class on painting with egg tempera — one of the oldest methods in art and not to be confused with tempura, a Japanese style of frying. The couple have permanent woks — er, make that works — at MOMA and the Library of Congress. Their residency just ended at Armory, and now they and four other artists are showing the public what they — and their students — have been cooking up during their stay.
