Opening Reception: Friday, October 11, 4PM-8PM
Curated by: Laura Mashtaler
Featured Artist(s): Sharon Adarlo
Sharon Adarlo, local Newark artist and writer, will be showing a small collection of paintings, drawings and sculptures that deal with our sensual perception of the world - phenomenology - via the realistic, artistic rendering of various objects: food, the human body, finely handmade artifacts, etc.
As such, the art pieces range in style and medium, from highly technical oil paintings and drawings done in the mold of the Old Masters, stylized portraits of people, to evocative and mysterious shadow boxes.
Sharon’s art emphasizes craft and is clearly rooted in the art tradition of realism, but the pieces on display allow for viewers to bring in their subjective interpretation. Sharon regards each piece of art as mediators between her (un)consciousness and the viewer.
The show will be up for three months starting October 10, 2019.
