Sunshine & Joy

Artists' Gallery is pleased to present "Sunshine & Joy", an exhibition featuring the sun-filled paintings of Douglas Sardo and Joe Kazimierczyk. Both artists draw their inspiration from painting outdoors, and their exhibition captures the sense of joy found in the sunlit places of this region. The show runs Friday, June 7 through Sunday, June 30, at Artists' Gallery, 18 Bridge Street, Lambertville, NJ. A reception with the artists will be held at the gallery on Saturday, June 8 from 5:00 to 8:00 pm. A closing reception with the artists will be held at the gallery on Sunday, June 30 from 3:00 to 5:00 pm.

Joe Kazimierczyk paints with oils in a style of traditional realism. In this exhibit, he focuses primarily on the farmlands and country roads of Hunterdon and Somerset Counties in New Jersey as he paints their cloud filled skies, the play of sunlight on old barns, and the glow of the late afternoon sun. Kazimierczyk's work has won awards in the many of the region's juried art exhibitions including Phillips Mill, Ellarslie, Artsbridge and others.

Douglas Sardo is attracted to the vibrant and exuberant colors that can be achieved through the media of pastel. He explores the dramatic contrast and luminescence of the shifting sunlight and patterns of shadows on the river and landscapes of the Delaware Valley. The painting "Sunlit Meadow", which won first prize for pastels at the Tinicum Arts Festival will be one of the paintings in the exhibit. Sardo has also had successful solo exhibits at the Stover Mill Gallery in Erwinna,PA. For more information and images, visit www.DougSardo.com
