Double Vision. In September, the gallery G Fine Art marked its move from Georgetown to 14th Street with an exhibition by artist Maggie Michael. Among her paintings was "Crest," an abstract tumble of latex streams flowing into a renegade puddle suspended off the edge of the canvas. Michael, 30, is an iconoclast whose fluid forms both refer to and subvert fine-art tradition. She's married to sculptor Dan Steinhilber, 32, who last year became the first Washington artist in more than 20 years to have a "Directions" exhibition at the Hirshhorn. Steinhilber creates striking large-scale conceptual works using objects such as trash bags, dish soap, and soda bottles. His next solo show is at DC's Numark Gallery in the spring.
