Artists Talk: Mel Leipzig & Dan Finaldi

February 2, 2010 - 3 p.m.

Two of the eighteen accomplished artists featured in the Realism Unbound: Contemporary Representational Art exhibition will present an artists talk at the Noyes. Leipzig will present a slide show and lecture discussing American representational art starting with the Ashcan School and proceeding on up to contemporary artists. Finaldi will give a talk based on his own experiences coming into representational painting in a post-modern age. He will discuss how Lois Dodd and other senior artists operated as key figures, creating a pathway for Finaldi and younger artists to work in a representational manner. He will give a tour of the works in the exhibition and a talk about the connections between the artists work.

Noyes presents mystical mixed-media exhibit by 2 artists
A mystical installation of sculptures, large-scale drawings, paintings, and works on glass will go on exhibit Jan. 21 until May 23 at the Noyes Museum of Art. In this exhibition, Suzanne Reese Horvitz and Robert Roesch present an imaginative collaboration titled “Transduction: Myths of the Sea and the Solar Boat.” The pair’s projects and themes have traveled the world and can be seen in museum collections both nationally and internationally.

Horvitz (www.suzannehorvitz.com) will display poetic mixed-media works, glass panels and myth-like paintings, some of which include gold and silver leaf on aluminum. Her artwork often offers a mythical narrative and is done by reverse painting, screening, sand blasting and gilding on glass, aluminum or canvas. Her newest work explores mirror images and twins with translucent figures merging with text and landscape to create surrealistic and mystical effects on gilded metallic, representing dreams and the world on the wrong side of the looking glass.

Roesch (www.robertroesch.com), head of the sculpture department at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, contributes several large-scale metal sculptures and wall works to the exhibit. His sculptures, mixed media pieces and drawings explore and define the moment between shifting realities, “the place in-between.” Roesch is intrigued by contrasting planes at their moment of intersection and the transference of energy between the two forces. The Noyes Museum is open 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and noon-5 p.m. Sunday. It is 1 1/2 miles south of Historic Smithville Village, off Route 9, on Lily Lake Road in Galloway Township. Admission is $4 for adults and $3 for seniors and students.

HERBERT PULLINGER’S LOST ARTWORK VISITS ARTPORT
The Philadelphia Artist Reveals a View of Cape May at the Atlantic City Airport

OCEANVILLE, N.J. – Philadelphia artist Herbert Pullinger (1878-1961) will be featured in a new exhibit opening on January 15 at the Atlantic City Airport’s ArtPort. The exhibit, titled Herbert Pullinger: A Cape May Historical Journey, offers a pictorial account of Cape May’s natural and man-made environment during the mid-20th century. The exhibition, which continues to March 23, includes 15 watercolor (from a larger collection) paintings of Cape May’s fishing and lodging industries, churches, neighborhoods and landscapes. The collection represents a 2006 gift to the Museum by the Cape May County Art League of Cape May, N.J.
Pullinger spent much of his time during the 1940’s and 1950’s painting the sites and landscapes in Cape May, N.J. Many of the artists images have not changed since he set up his easel over 50 years ago. Familiar scenes such as Congress Hall, the Chalfonte Hotel and the Franklin Street Methodist Church are included in the exhibit. The exhibition also includes images that have vanished from the Cape May landscape giving the viewer an historical overview of this famous seaside town. Lost for over 40 years, these watercolors and drawing were found by Cape May County Art League President Stan Sperlak during a recent move of the Leagues’ archives. This is the second showing of these paintings at the Noyes Museum and only the third time that they have ever been shown publicly.
