New Exhibition features linwood artist chuck law
Noyes Museum Continues Satellite Exhibitions at Dante Hall


OCEANVILLE, N.J
. – The Noyes Museum of Art and Dante Hall continue their partnership with a new exhibition featuring Linwood, N.J. artist Chuck Law. The exhibition, which opens December 15 with a reception from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., features Law’s unique personal still life technique that the artist refers to as “scatter paintings.” The exhibition is free and open to the public from Wednesday through Saturday between noon and 4 p.m. December 15 through February 1, 2007.

Law creates detailed paintings from groupings of small objects randomly or carefully placed on a flat surface, much like a still life but with a contemporary twist. Law incorporates elements of classic trompe l'oeil painting with an overhead view of the subjects. He has developed several series, including his marine life series that includes seashells, seaweed and other objects found on the beach. Law was born in Nice, France and grew up in southern New Jersey where the ocean and the bay continue to influence his artwork. He is a member of The Ocean City Art Center, the Cape May County Art League, The Society of New Jersey Artists and The Riverfront Renaissance Center for the Arts in Millville, N.J. Law has participated in various juried group shows where he has won numerous awards, including First Place at both the Cygnus 12th Annual Juried Art Exhibit and the Juried Exhibit at the Riverfront Renaissance Center for the Arts. More information about Law, including samples of his work can be found at www.chucklaw.artspan.com.
