EOH galleries to open three new exhibits for Fall
EARLVILLE – The Earlville Opera House Arts Center opens three new exhibits on Saturday from 6-7:30 p.m., (free) to run through November 5. Come help us celebrate our 40th anniversary year with the new exhibitions: Painter Picks Painters an alumni artist exhibit featuring: Sarah McCoubrey, Gary Trento, and Steven Ginsburg, curated by Colgate Professor, Lynette Stephenson, Fleeting Dreams, paintings by Chun Arthur Wang, and Ink and Wax by local artist Yolanda Sharpe.
Showing in the East Gallery, Painter Picks Painters is an alumni exhibition in honor of EOH’s 40th anniversary, featuring three CNY artists: Sarah McCoubrey, Gary Trento, and Steven Ginsburg. Colgate Professor, Lynette Stephenson chose the artists “because of the beautiful paintings that they create and their ability to present a fresh perspective of traditional subject matter.” She continues, “Sarah McCoubrey’s paintings are like little jewels full of rich color and details that pull the viewer into spaces that reveal surprising narratives. Working from the live model Gary Trento’s gestural marks and intense color celebrates the expressiveness of the human figure. Steve Ginsberg builds layers of paint into a saturated surface that moves confidently from the figure to the landscape. The three artists have very different approaches but complement each other very well.”
In the West Gallery, Chun Arthur Wang’s exquisite oil paintings of China are shown in Fleeting Dreams. Wang, who was born in China, says the works “reflect my personal recollection of rural life and traveling experience in the minority areas of China. Some of my works captured a brief moment from sensitive observation; others re-created poetized landscapes from fantasy that invoke my nostalgia or meditation. I focus on sentiments and lives of ordinary country people as a symbol of traditional culture and a clean environment in contrast with the unhealthy money worship and serious pollution of urban China today.” Chun Arthur Wang came to America in 1992 and earned a MFA from the University of Colorado at Boulder. He is now a naturalized American citizen and an Associate Professor at the Columbus College of Art and Design in Ohio. His works are held in private and public collections in both China and United States including the China National Museum of Fine Arts in Beijing, University of Colorado and Ohio State House. He was recipient of individual Artists Fellowship from Greater Columbus Arts Council.
In the Arts Cafe Gallery, Ink and Wax: Selections from Foliage & Still Life Drawing series and Urban Fragments Painting series. Yolanda Sharpe of Oneonta, NY intuitively constructs abstract images through re-invention and improvisation, by combining fragments with attention to geometry and color. She holds an MFA from Wayne State University. Sharpe was honored by the Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) and the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board with the Fulbright Lecturing/ Research award in the Russian Federation for the 2010-2011 academic year.
The community is invited to attend the shows, which open on Saturday, from 6-7:30 p.m. The exhibits run through Nov. 5. The EOH galleries are open Tuesday-Friday, 10-5 and Saturday, 12-3. Visit www.earlvilleoperahouse.com or call (315) 691-3550 for more information.
