Abstract VisionsJoin MartinArts for our next exhibition featuring various perspectives of abstract art. Each piece tells a unique story, inviting viewers to explore their own interpretations and emotions. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns dance across the canvas, creating a visual symphony that captivates the imagination. Some may see a chaotic whirlwind of shapes and hues, while others might find a serene landscape or a hidden figure emerging from the depths of the paint.
Abstract art challenges the conventional boundaries of form and structure, encouraging a deeper connection with our subconscious thoughts and feelings. It offers a space for reflection and personal insight, making every encounter with it a deeply individual experience. The beauty of abstract art lies not just in the artist's creation but in the endless possibilities it opens up for the observer.
Featuring Artists: Alexandra Bruce, Patricia L. Cooke, Adrienne Davis, Victoria DiCesare, Julie Durkin Marty, Rick Eggert, Deborah Fairchild, Latonya Hicks, Mary Joan Hinson, Kimi Kuniyoshi, Carol Lukitsch, Eileen Lyons, Dawn Inglis Montgomery, Nadine Saitlin, Alexandria Salmieri, J L Schwartz, Kyle Selley, Barry Shapiro, Norman Silva, Leslie Stokes, Addison Wolff
Exhibit dates: September 10 - November 2
Opening Reception: Friday, September 13 | 5:30-7PM

Immersed in painting, and specifically abstract painting, since he was an art student in the 1970's, Shapiro will discuss his over 50 year love affair with oil, acrylic, brush and canvas, as well as influences, inspirations and discoveries along the way. From his first face to face encounter with a Pollack to his thesis on Kandinsky, to the musical influences that drive him today, he will give you an insight into the abstract mind of an abstract painter.

The Real Deal
This exhibit honors the art of realism through a variety of creative perspectives. Curators, Roni Rottner, Ken Hooper-Capozzi, Jane Kiehart incorporated works to create an intricate tapestry of hyper-detailed landscapes, lifelike portraits, and everyday scenes captured with extraordinary precision. Each piece invites viewers to step closer, to immerse themselves in the minutiae that make up the fabric of our reality. From the meticulously rendered fur of a resting cat to the intricate play of light and shadow on a bustling city street, the exhibit showcases the artists' dedication to capturing the world as it is, in all its raw and unfiltered beauty.
As you wander through the gallery, you’ll encounter the works of both emerging and established artists, each bringing their unique voice to the timeless tradition of realism. The exhibit features a striking balance between classic techniques and contemporary interpretations, ensuring that there is something to captivate every visitor. Whether it’s the quiet dignity of a weathered fisherman, the vibrant bustle of a market scene, or the serene stillness of a forest at dawn, each piece is a testament to the power of observation and the artist’s skill in translating reality onto canvas.
