Chromatic Wanderingsfeaturing: Carol Sanzalone and Andrew WerthThis show runs from November 7, 2024 until December 1, 2024 Opening Reception: Saturday, November 9, 1-3 pm This November, Artists’ Gallery invites art enthusiasts to embark on a visual journey through ‘Chromatic Wanderings,’ an exhibition featuring the distinctive works of Carol Sanzalone and Andrew Werth. The show promises a unique exploration of nature’s patterns through two contrasting artistic perspectives. Both draw inspiration from the natural world, yet their approaches couldn’t be more different. Sanzalone's watercolor and acrylic paintings capture the interplay of light and shadow in the Delaware Valley, while Werth's intricate acrylic works delve into the realm of 'organized organic abstraction.' Carol Sanzalone works in watercolor and acrylic to create paintings inspired by the colors and patterns of light she observes in nature. Graphic shapes from warm sunlight and cool shadows evoke images associated with seasons, times, and places. Her experience in printmaking with both silkscreen and lithography creatively informs and enriches her current work. "This exhibition is a celebration of color and form," says Sanzalone. "I hope visitors will see the familiar landscapes of our region in a new light." Andrew Werth returns to Artists’ Gallery this year with acrylic paintings comprised of hundreds of hand-painted maze-like marks where subtle color gradations interact to produce a sense of depth and luminosity. A new series of six ‘Mind Wandering’ paintings span the chromatic spectrum and include symmetric forms with a perspectival tilt. This show also includes several new paintings from his ‘Elusive’ series, inspired by concepts from philosophy of mind. "My work invites viewers to both lose themselves in the details and to step back to take in the larger patterns of color," Werth adds. |
