"Looking Forward"
Featuring
Richard Harrington
and
Alla Podolsky
February 4 - 28, 2021
Paintings by artists Richard Harrington and Alla Podolsky featuring work
in watercolor, acrylic, and oil. "Looking Forward" reflects the
feeling of optimism both artists convey in their works as we move into a
new year and closer to Spring.
A native of Kiev, Ukraine, Alla Podolsky creates work that can seem
dreamlike. "If I were to distill what I do as an artist, I would say I
paint experiences. We have collectively gone through a lot this past
year, and I feel the need to impart past experiences of shared warmth,
of joyful moments that ground us in difficult times. I like to think of
my work as hopeful. Bright settings, vibrant colors, warm undertones.
It’s my way of trying to lift some of the burden for my audience." She
traces her love of psychological and narrative painting to the
Byzantine-style iconography that is so prominent in that city.
Richard Harrington, from Newtown PA, finds inspiration for his work in
the mid-20th Century finned and chromed creations from American auto
makers. "I have always been fascinated by vehicles" he said. "I enjoy
taking back roads and side streets, hoping to find cars, trucks, and
different vehicles that have been left idle and shows the effect of the
elements and time upon them. These are the starting points for my
paintings. The works I created for this show represent the change of
seasons, something I am always looking forward to. Each one brings it’s
own unique color and light, and inspires me to create new work."
