Here's another VIRTUAL ARTIST TALK from Ricardo Francis. His achingly beautiful paintings uplift stories of the African American experience, speaking truth to power. Much of his work involves portraiture, symbolism and collage challenging traditional imagery of people of color by projecting intense strength and beauty. Ricardo's contributions to DISRUPTION offer a fresh and unique perspective on racial justice, the pandemic, intersectionality and the Black Lives Matter movement. Ricardo's paintings leap off the canvas and wrap themselves around your heart. As he puts it, "I hope that anybody can come across my images and walk away feeling like there’s a part of them that’s there." DISRUPTION: art of change opens tomorrow night 6-8 PM and runs until May 28th. Don't miss it!
VIRTUAL ARTIST TALK! A deeply creative friendship and collaboration between NY/NJ artist Seth Ruggles Hiler and curator Angus MacLean Rennie was the inspiration behind DISRUPTION: art of change. In this glimpse into Seth's color-filled soul and artistic vision, Seth tells us: “I really believe that in the way you use color and composition you can put forth a certain vibration. I hope that my viewers are able to feel that, and to interpret it as the spirit moves them.” Join us this Saturday for the opening of Disruption - come let Seth's paintings move you! #artmatters #artofchange #atlantichighlands #monmouthcounty
VIRTUAL ARTIST TALK! David D. Oquendo's current work features a unique and mysterious script which he named "METAPHRASE" - a new and deeply personal language he crafted in prints, sculptures, large installations and other multi-media. David is also a member of the Leonides Arts Collective along with Seth Ruggles Hiler and Ricardo Francis - both also in this show. We often think of art as a solitary pursuit, but much of David's work is deeply collaborative. Let David walk you through his pieces in this show and share insights into the many collaborative elements of his creative process. In David's words, “As an artist I sometimes feel like I have to create every little part of my work, or else it isn’t mine. The Metaphrase calligraphy project really encouraged me to reach out and ask for help when I needed it.” Come meet David and learn more about his fascinating work on Saturday night from 6-8 PM at our show opening.
VIRTUAL ARTIST TALK! Heather Roy is a featured artist in our group show DISRUPTION: art of change. We shot this candid talk in her studio in Port Hope, Ontario. In her words: “Art for me is about finding. I go with questions, and sometimes I find answers in the pieces that I paint." Come see her work in person at the Gallery until May 28th. #artmatters #artofchange #AtlanticHighlands #Monmouthcounty #CommunityArts
Currently in our main gallery… Karen Bright “It’s a Question of Survival” [a collection of thoughtful paintings] Exhibition runs January 29 thru March 5, 2022. “ I often consider how descending darkness – whether actual or state of mind – can affect our sense of well-being and purpose. Starting with the bones of an idea, beeswax, resin, and pigment, elements are added and subtracted, scraped and wiped. There is a lot of quiet contemplation as I journey each piece to its end state – the time stamp – where the machinations regarding my own survival and the survival of all that live can stop their progressive march.” — Karen Bright For more info, visit the #AHArts website.
