Instead of spending $25 today I just drove 20 minutes down 29 to Lambertville to check out the local galleries. Most of the galleries around Lambertville and New Hope (PA) show art work that is of the area, like landscapes and buildings, etc. I wasn't planning on finding any cool galleries with stuff I'd like, so I was prepared to write about an exhibit I didnt like, but instead I found a gallery that had some really cool abstract art work, that happens to be of a simillar style to my own style of painting. The Artist's Gallery, located near the corner of Union and Coryell Street, is a small little white house that on the first floor is a gallery space. There are 3 rooms, up a couple steps you walk into the main room where new exhibits are usually shown, a middle, with a desk and information about the gallery and a third room in the back. Each room has artwork, but the front room is for new shows. The exhibit going on is called, "Innovations,"which is showing two artists, Florence Moonan and Carol Sanzalone. Carol Sanzalone's work involved waterccolors and acrylic paintings which didnt really catch my attention, but Florence Moonan's work was awesome. Her paintings were abstarct and colorful, and the women at the desk told us that she pours the paint onto the canvases. And the opening recption is tomorow, but I have work and won't be able to go. I would liked to have met the artist and talked to her about the work she did for this show, and find out more about the style she paints, and when and where her next show would be. Anyway, here are some photos of her
work that I really liked:
The triptych to the above is titled, "Deconstructing Jane Avril," poured oil on canvas, the three together is $575, and a single pannel is $200
Above, this is a close up image of the 3rd pannel on the far right
The painting below is titled "Womb"
and is acrylic on canvas, priced at $875
The painting above is titled, "Red Interrupted," it is acrylic on canvas, and is priced at $875
Above, the painting is titled, "Yellow Ox," also acrylic on canvas, and also priced at $875.

Glad you found something you liked, but having set this up you need to say much more about the work and your thoughts. Why don't you contact the gallery. I am sure the artist will be happy to speak/email about her work. Do you know what the Jane Avril title references?
ReplyDeleteI did contact the gallery, and while i was there i asked many questions about the artist, and recieved contact information for the artist, she seems to be difficult to reach via, phone, and email. she must be a busy person. i would be interested in knowing about the title, jane avril, as well. shes local, for me, and i do have her website and there are upcoming exhibits of hers, if i can make it, i would like to go and speak with her, but i too am very busy. hopefully it will work out, i had planned on going to the reception for that exhibit, but had work.
