Art Exhibition Ending Soon
It’s been my privilege to be participating in a wonderful juried art exhibit at Stangler Fine Art + Contemporary Craft in Orchard Park, NY. As a member of the Buffalo Fine Arts League, I’m eligible to submit work to the League’s juried members exhibitions. The fall installment of these shows is going on right now at the aforementioned gallery, but ends this Saturday, October 22.
The Fine Arts League is a 63 year old society of realist artists. So, if you’re into realism in art, this would be an enjoyable show for you to visit. While all the work is representational, with an emphasis on drawing skills, the approaches and styles represented are exciting and disparate. Of course the subject matter presented crosses the gamut as well. That’s one of the things I love about realism. It’s not just a matter of “making it look like a photograph.” The effects and impact of representational work are only limited by the imaginations of the artists themselves.
Orchard Park is a beautiful and historic village, featuring homes and storefronts which clearly have stories behind them. Autumn is a particularly gorgeous time to visit the town and take in some art. The old trees and brilliantly colored leaves lining the small-town streets truly inspire, and are like works of art in their own right. Fall is a favorite season for many people, and the northeast is one of the finest showcases there is for the beauty this season has to offer.
I hope, if you’re in the area, you’ll avail yourself of the opportunity of seeing this exhibit. Two pieces of my work are on display in the show, including one acrylic painting, and a sculpture which received second place overall in the exhibition. Participating in this show has been an honor and a privilege, and the event makes a lovely venue for art lovers in the Western New York area.
