“HEARTY VEGETABLE MOSAIC”: This work by Catherine Martzloff is part of “Playful Medley,” her show with David Orban and Leyla Spencer, on view through January 8 at Ficus, 235 Nassau Street.

This fall, Ficus presents “Playful Medley,” a colorful and spirited art show featuring work by Catherine Martzloff, David Orban, and Leyla Spencer.

Martzloff’s interest in color is evident in her work. Her unique style, which may remind viewers of Henri Mattise, is a more modern interpretation of impressionism and all her own.

Orban clearly has a playful style. Viewers may be reminded of their childhood toys (or maybe their parents’ toys) or the tools of yesteryear with his display of vintage items. His designs and faded primary colors give a choreographed feel; as though those objects may perform for all.

“NIGHT GUITAR”: This mosaic by Leyla Spencer is featured in “Playful Medley,” her exhibition with Catherine Martzloff and David Orban, on view through January 8 at Ficus, 235 Nassau Street.

Spencer, a mosaic tile artist, uses small tiles, gems, and found objects to create vibrant swirls and picture designs in her eye-catching artwork. A guitar, entitled, Night Guitar, is a rock star’s dream, and her animal mosaics have a whimsical and dream-like quality.

“Playful Medley” is on view through January 8 at Ficus, 235 Nassau Street. For more information, visit ficusbv.com.
