Abstraction takes a turn this month at Artists' Gallery in a show featuring the work of Alan J. Klawans and Andrew Werth from Friday, April 8, through Sunday, May 1, 2011.

Andrew Werth's paintings in this show comprise a body of work he calls "Centers of Narrative Gravity" where swirls of color interact with thousands of individually hand-painted marks to create interactive paintings whose appearance changes depending upon where you stand.

"I'm using a combination of color theory and metallic and reflective acrylic paints so that you'll see something different up close than you will from far away or from an angle. The paintings read differently even as the light changes over the course of a day," Werth says. He explains the show's title, "Just like in physics, where a center of gravity is a useful abstraction even though it doesn't exist in reality, the Center of Narrative Gravity is a useful metaphor for The Self - we are the centers of the stories we tell about ourselves."

Alan J. Klawans' work is the result of his observations on contemporary life. Decorative elements of buildings, ships, commuter trains and construction sites, as well as imagery from science and current events, make up the visual toolbox from which he draws. "The visual aspects of my environment, especially in an urban area, are constant sources of inspiration for me," says Klawans. "The use of wood, metal salvage, and waste paper - in the form of digital shapes and textures - are my alternatives to the traditional artist's materials of paint and canvas."

Please join us for a reception with the artists on Saturday, April 9 from 2 to 6 pm.

Paul Grecian in Professional Artist Magazine

Achieving artistic independence happens in a variety of ways, in fact it may be unique to each artist. There are overlapping elements to most artist’s stories however, and something to be learned from each. Artists’ Gallery member Paul Grecian writes on this theme for the debut issue of Professional Artist magazine (previously known as Art Calendar magazine).

The article may be seen by picking up a copy of the March issue at bookstores or through Professional Artist magazine’s website.

Please join us forArtists' Gallery's next show:

"One Thing Leads to Another"

Jennifer Cadoff - Paperworks
Carol Sanzalone - Paintings

March 11 - April 3, 2011
Opening reception: Saturday, March 12, 4:00-6:00 pm

Work by painter Carol Sanzalone of Lambertville and paperwork artist Jennifer Cadoff of Princeton, will be on display at Artists' Gallery at 18 Bridge Street in Lambertville, March 11th through April 3rd.

Although their work may look very different, the artists share similarities in both process and intention. Carol and Jennifer are often inspired to start new work by something in the natural world - a flowing river or a stand of trees at the edge of a field, for example.  One artist developing color images with watercolor and acrylic, the other in black and white with ink and paper constructions. Both enjoying the process of the image developing as they work and the excitement of one thing leading to another.

The opening for "One Thing Leads to Another" will be held Saturday, March 12th from 4 to 6 pm at Artists' Gallery.

The artists will host a closing reception on Sunday, April 3rd, from 2 to 4 pm.
