Paul Grecian - Best In Photography

Artists' Gallery's newest member Paul Grecian received the Best Photography Award at the 2009 Galaxy Art Show and Sale. The show which is to benefit the Network of Victim Assistance (NOVA) has become a staple art event in Bucks County, PA. Grecian’s winning image entitled Downward Facing Dog is of a Great Blue Heron stretching on a log in the middle of a lake.  "It’s not just the posture of the bird that excited me" say’s Grecian, "but the symmetry I was able to create with the bird’s reflection".

The blue ribbon and cash award represent Grecian’s second time receiving the top prize, the first time was in 1999.

A Room With Two Views

"A Room With Two Views"
A 2-person show with Alla Podolsky and Doug Sardo

at Artists' Gallery in Lambertville, NJ
Nov 6 - Dec 6, 2009
Opening reception: Saturday, Nov 7 from 6:00 to 9:00 pm

Alla Podolsky’s oil paintings are a collection of new works, informed by a very personal perspective on universal themes: home, memory, internal versus external, close and remote. “The paintings are about seeing the world through the eyes of the child I once was, and seeing through the eyes of the adult I became. It's about losing home and finding it in unexpected places.”

Doug Sardo’s pastel paintings are vibrant impressionist interpretations of regional landscapes, rural architecture and river valley scenes. His paintings juxtapose brilliant complimentary colors and dynamic compositions that allow the viewers eye to blend the colors and travel into the painting. The exhibit will include new paintings from his plein aire painting excursions on the Amalfi coast, Italy, on the Polynesian islands of Raiatea and Moorea and the seaside town of Gloucester Massachusetts.

Both artists deal with similar themes in different, personal ways.

Innovations

"Innovations"
A 2-person show with Florence Moonan and Carol Sanzalone
at Artists' Gallery in Lambertville, NJ
Oct 9 - Nob 1, 2009
Opening reception: Saturday, Oct 10 from 4:00 to 7:00 pm

Every now and then artists need to shake things up a bit. Local artists, Florence Moonan and Carol Sanzalone are doing just that with their new exhibition of paintings and drawings at Artists’ Gallery, October 9 through November 1, 2009. An opening reception is scheduled for Saturday, October 10 from 4 to 7 p.m. Or, join the artists for the cider and donuts closing reception on Sunday, November 1 between 2 and 5 p.m.

"Dance"
by Florence Moonan

Florence Moonan, best known for her colorful abstract acrylic paintings, will be showing charcoal drawings using methods of mark making taught at Bunker Hill Studio workshops by renowned painter, Pat Martin. She will also be exhibiting dramatic poured works in oil. These techniques, when applied by Moonan’s bold movements, show ingenuity and a fresh inventiveness that makes the works in this show grab your attention.

"Northern Lights"
by Carol Sanzalone

Carol Sanzalone, working in watercolor and acrylic on paper and canvas, captures the graphic impact of light and shadows to create surfaces and color patterns that enrich the everyday images that inspire her work. Her artistic journey has included many years of experimenting with color and texture, and these recent innovative paintings will be a major part of the work included in this show.

Both New Jersey natives, Moonan and Sanzalone, find the diverse cultural, historical and natural beauty of the region continually stimulates their creative endeavors. This is evident when viewing the two artists' work side by side. Sanzalone's paintings respond to the environment, while Moonan's works are largely drawn on autobiographical experiences.
