Celebrating Color & Light - the art of Jane Adriance and Claudia Fouse Fountaine

Celebrating Color & Light
Jane Adriance and Claudia Fouse Fountaine

June 5 - July 6, 2025
Opening Reception: Saturday, June 7, 4-6 pm

Artists' Gallery is delighted to present "Celebrating Color & Light," an uplifting and visually rich exhibition featuring the work of Jane Adriance and Claudia Fouse Fountaine. On view from June 5 through July 6, 2025, the show invites visitors to experience the artists’ shared love of luminosity, expressive color, and the vibrant energy of the natural world.

Jane Adriance is a celebrated local artist from Princeton whose paintings have captivated viewers for years. Her recent retrospective at the Arts Council of Princeton highlighted her enduring commitment to "open up new perspectives," a goal reflected in her bold and dreamlike imagery. Adriance’s work, often open to interpretation, evokes the influence of Surrealism and possibly Georgia O’Keeffe, while standing uniquely her own. Her mediums include watercolor and oil, she has exhibited widely, won numerous awards, and studied at prestigious institutions including the Barnes Foundation and the School of Visual Arts in New York. Her paintings are startling, contradictory, and deeply beautiful—always infused with sumptuous color.

Claudia Fountaine is a Bucks County artist with art degrees from Carnegie Mellon and Pratt Institute. After working as an illustrator in New York, she moved to Pennsylvania to raise a family, also volunteering in the local school art program. Becoming a docent at the Princeton Art Museum deepened her art appreciation and education in art history. As the years passed, she spent more time painting, always intrigued by her surroundings and interpreting them through a lens of soft light and brilliant color. Whether the subject is a platter of oysters or the Grand Canyon, it’s the quality of light, and the strong color that tie them all together. 

Please visit the event website for additional information.

And don't forget - along with our featured exhibit, all 16 of our professional artists continuously have their work on exhibit - there is new work here every month. We welcome your visits!

Beyond Boundaries
Jane Adriance and Joe Kazimierczyk 

June 6 - June 30, 2024
Opening Reception: Saturday, June 8, 5-7 pm

Artist's Gallery is pleased to present "Beyond Boundaries," an exhibition showcasing the abstracted realities of painter Jane Adriance and the inspiring landscape paintings of Joe Kazimierczyk.

Step into Adriance’s world, where her astute use of semi abstract perceptions invites viewers to explore the mysteries of the unseen where reality and imagination seamlessly intertwine.

In contrast, Kazimierczyk takes us on a journey deep into the forests and untamed landscapes discovered on his explorations of the region. Through his paintings, he invites you to lose yourself in the tranquility of nature, offering sanctuary from the busy pace of everyday life.

Don't miss this opportunity to experience art that transcends boundaries and pushes the limits of creativity. Whether you're an art aficionado or simply seeking inspiration, "Beyond Boundaries" promises to leave a lasting impression.

Painting the Light - the art of Jane Adriance and Debbie Pisacreta

Painting the Light
Jane Adriance and Debbie Pisacreta

Exhibit: November 10 - December 4, 2022
Opening Reception: Saturday, November 12, 4-7 pm

This exhibit explores the quality of light in both abstract and representational paintings. Jane continues her journey to create juxtapositions of different visual observations with light and color. "Light determines the color, composition, and the story being told. I have combined representative and abstract elements in the same context as well as pure abstractions in oils and mixed media. At times I think this becomes a sensual journey of mystery. Hopefully the observer will find a springboard to fantasy as well as aesthetic pleasure." 

Primarily a plein air painter, Debbie is fascinated with capturing light, especially when it is most dramatic during early morning or evening hours. "Painting on location is an immersive experience for me. I remember the sounds, smells and feel of each location. My paintings represent my emotional response to the scenes. This show includes local scenes as well as images from New York state, Cape Cod Massachusetts, and Monhegan Island in Maine. I enjoy observing the differences in the colors and light in each of these locations, but my heart belongs to Monhegan as its natural beauty has been preserved."  

Please visit the event website for more images and additional information.

And don't forget - along with our featured exhibit, all 16 of our professional artists continuously have their work on exhibit - there is new work here every month. We welcome your visits!

The evening of our reception, November 12, is also the third of of four planned Second Saturdays in Lambertville, with twenty-two businesses participating from 5-8 pm. Artists' Gallery will be open till 8 pm this Saturday.

Reflection - the art of Jane Adriance and Debbie Pisacreta

 "Reflection"
Featuring
Jane Adriance
and
Debbie Pisacreta

November 5 - December 6, 2020

The Pandemic, and the resulting quarantine, forced each of us to be isolated more. For Jane Adriance and Debbie Pisacreta, this was a time of quiet reflection which affected the kind of paintings they produced, and the emotions they felt when painting.

"The title of this exhibit seems very fitting for me," said Jane. "Since last March with the pandemic 'shut down' and my isolation I needed to stop and reflect about the life I had taken for granted. While life seemed so sad and frightening to so many others as well as myself ... I discovered a silver lining. In my appreciation for being alive, I followed a dream (with no excuses now) to return to the sensual use of painting with oils. I had been painting with watercolors for many decades. I was ready for this challenge and new perspective.

I am hoping you will enjoy my first exhibit of these oil paintings as much as I am grateful to have opened this door for me again."

Debbie has always found her inspiration and joy from plein air painting, but that joy was heightened during this last six months. "I was fortunate that I could continue to paint Plein air while still maintaining social distancing. Painting was a respite from all of the sadness and anxiety surrounding the Pandemic and its effects. It gave me a chance to feel peace and to be grateful for the beauty of my surroundings.

I am hopeful that that feeling of serenity is translated to the viewer."

  April 4 - May 5, 2019

Opening Reception: Saturday, April 6, 3-6 pm

Please join us for "The Other Side", featuring the artwork of Jane Adriance and Alan Klawans.

Jane and Alan use different mediums to express themselves from different points of view. Alan uses his computer and a digital camera to depict strong and bold abstractions to create a visual story from his everyday experience. Jane Adriance paints with watercolors and her point of view is to paint startling contradictions between her everyday experience and the unknown.

Both of these artists invite a dialogue between the observer and the work of art. The result brings pleasure as well as inquiry.

Poems of Color - new works by Jane Adriance and Debbie Pisacreta

"Poems of Color"

the art of

Jane Adriance

and

Debbie Pisacreta
  

  Nov 8 - Dec 2 2018

Opening Reception: Saturday, Nov 10, 5-8:30 pm
Coffee and Conversation: Sunday, Dec 2, 2-5 pm

This exhibit by Jane Adriance and Debbie Pisacreta looks at poetry from a visual perspective. These two artists use shapes and colors instead of words to create visual poems. They introduce images that evoke creative interpretations not only by the artist, but by the viewer as well.

Jane Adriance's "Watercolor Poems" tend towards implied meaning with the intent to go beyond what we are likely to see in everyday life. Sometimes the perspectives are expressions that are startling and contradictory. However, color and dynamic compositions exist in harmony. As a result, a color poem is created that invites a dialogue between the viewer and this painter. 

Debbie Pisacreta's oil painted landscapes use color to create mood and atmosphere. Like a Haiku poem, Debbie simplifies the landscape to convey the essence of her emotional connection to the scene. Her goal as a plein air painter is to capture the feeling of a particular place and time.

Perceptions - the art of Jane Adriance and Joseph DeFay

"Perceptions"

new works by

Jane Adriance

and

Joseph DeFay

November 9 - December 3, 2017

Opening Reception: Saturday, November 11, 4-7 pm

Artists' Gallery is pleased to present "Perceptions," an exhibition featuring the watercolors of Jane Adriance and the photographs of Joseph DeFay. Both artists have unique perceptions of the world they see around them. They reflect a perspective that is not based on what we normally call "reality". This photographer and painter offer images that may be surprising and at the same time compliment each other with a beauty that offers new perspectives in opposing mediums.

Working with watercolors, Jane intends to go beyond what she perceives in her everyday life. A kind of poetic license to reflect a point of view that can be startling and contradictory and yet beautiful. Jane uses color as her primary focus which is embraced by dynamic compositions of light, line textures and space.

Joseph's photographs tend to pull out the simpler aspects of everyday life so they can be seen with a renewed beauty, and an exciting new perspective. "A completely open mind, favoring no particular philosophy, allows me to fully accept what each raw opportunity to create provides, and decide if it is to be refined and shared. Traditional artistic concerns prove an interesting challenge when capturing people, places, or objects in the moment, but are always held in high regard".
