“It’s the Real Thing” September 3rd - 15th |
|
 Opens with a reception on Friday, September, from 7 to 10 p.m. and runs through September 15.
The exhibit features three outstanding regional and nationally renowned oil painters Sydney Bella Sparrow, Christopher W. Pothier, and Nancy Depew, and ceramicist Trisha Coates.
“Styles may come and styles may go, but representational art never loses favor,” said Steve Bowersock, curator. “We are fascinated by the skill required to achieve these images and by the magic cast by the illusion when painted by true artists.”
On the surface the style addresses its subject directly. But in the case of the “It’s the Real Thing” trio there are stories to be found behind the figures and simple object.
