The Mill House Inn East Hampton NY - “Your Home in the Hamptons”
SOUTHAMPTON CULTURAL CENTER, Levitas Center For The Arts, 25 Pond Lane, Southampton, NY 11968 631.287.4377 America The Beautiful Art Exhibit, June 7th through June 30th, 12pm-4pm Daily The focus of the exhibition is the various aspects one might find in the theme. Eleven artists draw on their impressions through memory, observation, inspiration, and experience. Each presents a perspective – objective/subjective – of a moment or place of beauty. Priscilla Bowden draws on the East End landscape with small touches of human presence: a school bus; a flag; a children’s camp. J. Boucher-Sneddon finds inspiration in the ritual and customs of Native Americans, with emphasis on dance and dress in abstractions in vivid color. Deborah Black emphasizes indigenous trees, such as the cedar, and foliage, and places them in expressionist style, using various settings on the East End. Mary Daunt also uses the landscape as a point of departure, showing panoramic views of land and water painted in strokes similar to Pointilism. Alice Forman paints flowers which fill the picture plane, as though they are details of a much larger space. John Hardy celebrates the American city; in this instance, New York. Buildings surround small figures in one painting, while a billboard dominates the façade of a building seen from below. Stephanie Reit takes the symbolic American barn and through line and color, transforms it into simplified form which interacts with land and sky in almost symbiotic existence. Clare Romano fills the canvas with bursting fireworks against a darkened landscape. John Ross depicts the broad, flat land of the Southwestern mesa in rich red, orange and yellow paintings and collographs. Ty Stroudsburg will show paintings from her Vineyard series. The essential nature of vineyards on the North Fork of LI are painted in an impressionist style. Lewis Zacks looks to American cultural icons in signage, buildings, and motifs. His approach is photo-realism, with a focus on enlarged detail.
