Let's move on with them! ... seven artists will display their work in " ON THE MOVE" through January 22, 2014.
Charlie Hunter paints " what nature does to what man creates, and nowhere is that more evident that what time and weather do to railroads."
Judith Wyer has been exhibiting her brightly colored paintings of ephemeral moments in life in individual, group and juried show for more than two decades. "My subject finds me," she said.
" I don't find it. When it does, I must be prepared with camera and sketch book."
The photographs of Laure Dunne are from a series called " Wings and Wheels," showing older planes, motorcycles and vehicles on the freeways of southern California. " I work in color and black and white to capture a mood, an emotion or a particular point of view".
Paris-born Pierre Gagnon was a textile designer for Ralph Lauren and Alexander Julian, and now owns Couleur Provence in Darien, where he works with interior designers on decorative painting of walls, floors, panels and furniture. But Pierre's artistic priority is painting on canvas depicting scenes of the Venice and Paris from his travels.
Contemporary realist Lisbeth Firmin explores the relationship between people and their environment. Bold blocks of color produce an abstract interplay of shapes in urban landscapes that fall into place when viewed at a distance. The Kentucky native lives and works in Frankin, NY.
Award winning Joel Sokolov is originally from NYC and now lives on the " big island" of Hawaii in Pahoa. "Photography is a part of my creative life which provides me with imagery for my painting. Jets, views from the back seat of taxi's, freeways, trains, train stations and airports are amongst the subject matter that I photograph - they depict my time, place and lifestyle.
