Where: Celeste LeWitt Gallery
When: Now through February 2, 2011, daily 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
About the artists:
Richard Malinsky of Madison
says he is influenced by the emotional gesture and physicality of abstract
expressionism. Though nonfigurative, his images are derived from organic
growth forms and remembered or imagined landscapes – allusions to water, earth,
and sky. The imagery engages viewers emotionally, enticing them to focus
on the feeling or essence of the representation rather than the literal one.
Painting mostly in oils, Diane Marinaro’s subjects of interiors, landscapes and still lifes are vibrant with color and her use of light leads you to a new way of looking at her subjects. Marinaro lives in Avon and has exhibited her paintings in juried shows throughout Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York.
Artwork by Mary Lund.
Exhibit: Terra Tone: Photographs & Field Sculptures by Glenn Affleck and Mary Lund
Where: Main and Mezzanine lobbies
When: Now through January 6, 2011 daily 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
About the artists:
The exhibit by
Glenn Affleck of Avon and Mary Lund of Harwinton is inspired by extensive
travels in Italy, France, and Ireland. Tinted monochrome photographs of land,
sea, village, and city scapes are displayed in handmade barn wood frames that
complement each print’s shadings. Abstract sculptures stitched on burlap fields
feature grape vines and sea forms. These prints and sculptures are united
thematically through images and impressions of Europe, and their terra tone
brings a spiritual and aesthetic harmony to the exhibit.
