“Susquehanna Simpatico” debuts at Jonal Gallery, Columbia, PA
I am exceedingly elated to announce my very first solo exhibition. Susquehanna Simpatico is a collection of images that are both an exploration of and a meditation on the life of and on the Susquehanna River in and around Wrightsville, Pennsylvania.
Water covers nearly 71% of the Earth’s surface and the human body is approximately 60% water. Water is essential for all known forms of life. It is one of the four classical elements and is widely regarded as the basic substance of the universe. It is a symbol of purification in literature and in most religions. Water is indeed the life’s blood of the Earth. It purifies and sustains. It is timeless and eternal and it connects all things in the cycle of life.
I have printed all of the images on canvas, stretched them on 3/4″ stretcher bars (back stapled) and finished them with hand crafted poplar “floater” frames. All of the frames are finished with a variety of water based Minwax stains and Minwax water based Polycrylic. The canvases have also been coated with a satin UV acrylic.
Susquehanna Simpatico will be exhibited from May 21 through June 12, 2011 at Jonal Gallery, 653 Locust Street, Columbia, PA 17512 (across from Mt. Bethel Cemetery between 6th and 7th Streets). The opening reception is from 5 PM to 9 PM on Saturday, May 21, 2011.
Gallery hours are 10 AM to 5 PM Saturdays, 12 PM to 5 PM Sundays and 5 PM to 9 PM for Columbia’s Fourth Friday events each month.
For a sneak preview, visit Jonal Gallery this Thursday evening, May 19 from 7 PM to 9 PM for “A Night at the Gallery” featuring Harrisburg poet Gene Hosey as he shares his stylistic poetry on the Main Gallery stage. $10.00 per person pre-paid admission is required.
