SUMMARY:Vitality Of Life: Sculptures And Drawings By Lori Shorin
DESCRIPTION:About The Exhibit\n\nThrough November 28\, 2015 \n\nFrom the artist: My sculptures can more adequately describe to you how the human form and spirit inspires me\, more so than can my words. However\, the following is what I can tell you about what moves me to create: \nThe vitality of life expressed in the face and body gets my attention. The eyes are of particular inspiration to me\, for their capacity to convey deep\, inner\, human expressiveness – both emotional and spiritual. While the human condition is a catalyst for the conceptual aspect of my work the process of finding those qualities that are uniquely special to an individual and yet common to all people is very fulfilling. Many of my life questions are related to universal interconnectedness in the physical\, mental and metaphysical realms. These queries give rise to ideas for new work\, and when realized\, feel like answers. \nI have gathered and organized a lot of information about the human form in my mind\, which fuels my creative intuition. Through my observations in my daily practice\, love of science\, personal introspection and meditation\, the physical and spiritual realms merge together harmoniously. \nAll of nature inspires me\, but to me the human form and the spirit housed within it\, has my full interest; that’s the bottom line. \nAbout The Artist\n\nLori Shorin grew up embracing different cultures having grown up in New York\, Belgium and Florida. Her work has always been inspired by change for social good. Mobile and site-specific installation\, soft sculpture\, plexi-glass\, various painting and drawing mediums are some of the materials she has explored throughout her creative career. While most of these works were primarily stylized and conceptual in nature\, in 2005\, she was inspired to create realistic figurative sculptures to express new ideas. She studied the human form at the Florence Academy of Art. A portion of the proceeds from sales of her work goes to the Self Realization Fellowship to support their goals and ideals of unity of all religions and to teach individuals to know their highest Self through the science of meditation. In addition to her studio practice\, Lori teaches at The School of Visual Art in New York City and holds periodic workshops at the Art Students League and other venues. Lori is represented by Sirona Fine Art in Hallendale\, Florida and the Principle Gallery of Fine Art in Charleston South Carolina. Her works are in the permanent collection of the Mariposa Museum of International Culture (NH).

SUMMARY:Cuba Antes: Images Of Cuba On The Cusp Of Change By Julie Cahn
DESCRIPTION:About The Exhibit\n\nThrough September 25\, 2015 \n\nIn late March of this year\, Julie Cahn had the lucky opportunity to join a group of American photographers on a government approved cultural exchange trip to Cuba. It was a propitious time to visit the country just on the cusp of big change. Yet to be impacted by American capitalism\, the native artists the group traveled with were no less excited about the possibilities to come and as a result gave the photographers greater access into neighborhoods\, homes and rural villages Americans have been prohibited from visiting since the 1960 embargo. It was a privileged last look at the country before/antes the lifting of sanctions and a chance to document one of the last places on earth that has been virtually free of American influence for the last fifty-five years. \nJoin us for a light reception at 3pm on September 10\, with ample time to take in the images and share Q&A with Ms. Cahn. The exhibit will close on September 25. \n\n\nAbout The Artist\n\nJulie Cahn is a writer and photographer and a teacher of both. She has published three young adult novels and several photo essays\, and has traveled extensively in Latin Ameria.  She strives to capture in her photographs the authenticity in the people and places she visits.

SUMMARY:Here Comes The Sun: Paintings By Diane Churchill
DESCRIPTION:About The Exhibit\n\nThrough June 13\, 2015 \n\nMoving through palettes of orange and gold\, Diane Churchill’s paintings celebrate the power\, passion\, and mystery of the sun’s radiance. \n\n\nAbout The Artist\n\n“I am an abstract painter.  I strive to achieve power in a simple\, or relatively simple image. \nMost of my work has its source in nature\, so for many years I painted abstracted landscapes where I was more interested in the forces present in nature\, such as fertility of the land\, the sun\, etc. than in painting a specific site. I also was captured by images of apes\, and worked on that solely for about 5 years. I moved into the figure and explored identity as a woman in that work. Color\, that mysterious and most powerful of elements\, has been my main concern throughout. Color has effects we barely understand. Color waves literally enter our bodies through our eyes and affect us emotionally and physically. \nCurrently I have moved into images that are ephemeral\, such as air and water. With air\, I am exploring thought and spirit as things appear and disappear. With water I am exploring all kinds of emotional states such as flow\, deep quiet\, or wildly raging waves and crashes.” \nRead more

SUMMARY:Way Of Color: Blue – Photographs By Iris Brooks
DESCRIPTION:About The Exhibit\n\nThrough June 6\, 2015 \n\nThe Union Arts Center is pleased to present The Way of Color: Blue\, a photographic exhibition by Iris Brooks. Color touches most of us on a daily basis\, yet many of us don’t stop to think about its impact on our lives. Colors are universal symbols and also have particular significance and associations in different parts of the world. Is blue really divine as Van Gogh believed\, or is it connected to wisdom and infinity because of its association with the sea and sky? Iris Brooks will show her mostly monochromatic photographs along with her curatorial selection of blue artifacts from around the world in this new exhibition. \nJoin us on Saturday\, April 11 from 4 – 6 p.m. when we will feature an interactive gallery walk and talk. The exhibition\, with gallery hours on Saturday and Sunday from 1 – 4 p.m.\, will run through June 6\, when there will be a closing event from 3 – 6 p.m. \n\n\nAbout The Artist\n\n \nIris Brooks is a cultural writer and photographer who has traveled to\, written about\, and played music on all seven continents. Her experiential writing and images capture her adventures: serenading penguins with the pennywhistle in Antarctica\, attending a royal wedding in Bali\, paddling a canoe down the Zambezi River on a sound safari in Zimbabwe\, luxuriating at Ian Fleming’s villa Goldeneye in Jamaica\, and harvesting healing herbs in Tuscany\, Italy. \nHundreds of her arts and travel articles and photos have been published in a variety of magazines on topics such as Australian Spas (Travel & Leisure)\, Art in Asian Hotels (Robb Report)\,  World Expo in Japan (New York Post)\, Food Museums Around the World (Saveur)\, Gardens of Montreal (Odyssey)\, Architecture in Portugal (The Hook)\, and Zanzibar Spice Tours (Islands). \nShe has interviewed luminaries in many fields including Academy-award winning director Julie Taymor\, Grammy-award winner Wynton Marsalis\, musical icon Ravi Shankar\, and spiritual world leader\, the Dalai Lama. Brooks has been the editor-in-chief of EAR Magazine\, the public relations editor of the New York Philharmonic\, and the program editor of the Lincoln Center Festival. \nTogether with Jon H. Davis\, her stories currently appear in video as well as print. Brooks and Davis create captivating digital documentaries exploring culture and travel in well-known and remote locations ranging from colorful deserts to tropical rainforests\, and idyllic\, island landscapes around the globe.  Their documentary\, Languages Lost and Found(distributed by Filmakers Library/Alexander Street Press) was screened at the United Nations in New York and throughout North America.

SUMMARY:Inherent Volition\, Knowing In Action: Sculptures By James Garvey
DESCRIPTION:About The Exhibit\n\nThrough January 8\, 2015 \n\nWhat is the inspiration for these early sculptures? As a freshman in Mechanical Engineering\, I was required to take a course in humanities. Each time we met\, we discussed a new page of Hamlet. The writing resonates in the realm of collective intelligence; it is like the Gettysburg Address\, or the Declaration of Independence\, “These truths are self evident…” Shakespeare inspired me to respect sentient intelligence that can be perceived by any person\, apart from academics or wealth. \nReading Shakespeare is like going on a campout; everyone at the campsite appreciates a campfire when the night comes. Using secular language there is a visceral affect that is able to awaken a presence of wonder. I felt that I was a kin; I knew where the work came from in Shakespeare’s writing. I went to many art exhibits; only one piece had such a connection. I became convinced that I can create objects that resonate as strong as the work of Shakespeare because it would come from the same place. \nWhat is constant? There is an attention fueled by interest that is accessing a large map of impressions stored in my mind. An anonymous wit is functioning as my inner browser; then\, there is a form idea that comes to mind. \nMost of these pieces are made  at the Rochester Folk Art Guild\, 1974 to 1985. I received attention from Mrs. Louise March; a teacher for a rigorous program of self development. I believe she was extraordinarily patient with me; she made it possible for me to have time and a place to develop a “way to work”. \nIn 1885\, Mrs. March suggested that I go to NYC; I began work at the Statue of Liberty. She took full credit for any contribution I may have made to keep the project on schedule during the replication of the armature bars. Liberty Star was conceived and built while I was working at the Statue; after work\, I was a participant at the Athena Foundation\, a studio opportunity conceived by Marc DiSuvero for emerging sculptors. \nLiberty Star was conceived and built while I was working at the Statue; after work\, I was a participant at the Athena Foundation\, a studio opportunity conceived by Marc DiSuvero for emerging sculptors. \nAttention Star was a breakthrough conceived twenty-two years after the start of the Star Series. I was sitting with Barbara and Tammy waiting for a Kirosawa Movie to begin at the Film Forum. \n  \n\n\nAbout The Artist\n\nJames Garvey’s training includes Colorado State University and ten years as head of Blacksmithing at the Rochester Folk Art Guild. He has over 100\,000 hours as a professional artist blacksmith working in New York with an open-hearth forge.  He has designed and built public commissions in Manhattan including MTA Percent for Art works at two subway stations\, The School of Spirits Doors at the Dwight School in Manhattan\, The Lariat Rustic Rail in Central Park\, The Lariat Street Furniture for Coenties Slip Park in Lower Manhattan.  He has completed design/build contracts for corporate entities such as: Ogilvy Mather Advertising Corporation\, Martin-Marietta Honeywell Corporation\, and Firmdale Hotels from United Kingdom. Since 2003\, he continues as full time artist blacksmith and as a part time instructor of the Sculpture\, ‘forging class’ for the Art Students League of New York\, at the Vytlacil Campus.

SUMMARY:Sacred Vedic Mandalas And The Spell Of Beyond Knowing: Work By Melissa Forbes
DESCRIPTION:About The Exhibit\n\nThrough September 13\, 2014 \n\nMelissa has been a student and teacher of yoga for over twenty years and studied the art of Vedic Yantras in India. This exhibition features her drawings and paintings as well as her sacred vedic mandalas and yantras. \nExhibit One\nAll the Muses and the Graces \n…including Vedic gods & goddesses\, and celestial atmospheres. \nYantra means “an apparatus” in sanskrit\, it is a mystical diagram\, or visual mantra\, composed of geometric shapes that create\, by sight\, the vibrations and other mystical effects of a mantra. The act of wearing\, drawing\, or concentrating on a Mandala/Yantra is said to have spiritual or magical benefits. A Yantra focuses spiritual and mental energies to improve one’s quality of life\, to invoke a particular Divine Vibration or Archtype. \nExhibit Two\nThe Spell of Beyond Knowing \nThis exhibition features large scale drawings & paintings in an effort to achieve “healing through inspired movement and visual expression”. \n  \n\n\nAbout The Artist\n\nMelissa Forbes has been a student of yoga since her mid twenties. Her interest in yoga became more singularly focused after finding inspiration in the tradition of the yogi scholar Shi T. Krishnamacharya and his students Pattabhi Jois\, and T.K.V. Desikachar. Melissa began her career teaching Desikachar style yoga and was the co-founder of the internationally renowned Heart of Yoga. She has taught yoga in numerous schools throughout the United States\, among them\, the Olive Leaf Wholeness Center in New York City\, where she worked closely with Dr. Rudolph Ballentine\, a student of Swami Rama\, who founded the Himalayan Institute. \nMelissa began her study of art\, as well as dance and movement in her youth. Painting and design\, along side dance and movement\, are her ongoing passions. Melissa’s art career began with her studies of textile design at the Moore College of Art in Philadelphia\, followed by a five-year full scholarship in printmaking at New York’s National Academy Press. She was the recipient of an Ogden M. Pleissner Fellowship\, a Nancy O’Malley Fellowship\, a Ricky Fingerhut Fellowship and a Ralph Fabri Fellowship. Melissa was also granted the prestigious Pollock-Krasner Grant. \nShe is presently involved in an independent study of Vedic Yantras\, having studied in India with students of Harish Johari. Her Yantric renderings reflect both her artistic expression and intimate experiences of Yogic disciplines. They are quite unique as they combine Eastern and Western Sacred Geometry. Most recently\, sixteen of Melissa’s vibrational Yantra art paintings were featured in the book\, “Karttikeyan Yogic Method”\, published by Gatherinsight.com. Her art has been exhibited in galleries in New York City\, Philadelphia\, and the United Nations. She maintains a studio in New York while frequently traveling and painting in majestic locations around the world. \nFor the five years leading up to his passing in 2007\, Melissa traveled with the late sage U.G. Krishnamurti\, and made Switzerland her home. Upon his passing\, Melissa moved back to the United States\, and is currently living in the Taconic Hills of New York State. Melissa is presently an Adjunct Professor of Art at the University of New Haven\, Connecticut\, while continuing to teach yoga. \nIn addition to her interests and experiences in yoga and art\, Melissa has formally studied Neuro-Linguistic Programming under Richard Bandler cofounder of NLP\, Shiatsu (Certified Ohashiatsu Practitioner)\, Certified Divine Intervention TeacherMinister\, and Certified Teacher of Mayan Sacred Geometry\, graduate of Suluk Academy school of Sufi studies and Four Wind Society Light Body School. \nShe is the author of “No Teaching Yoga\, The Authentic Guide”\, a work reflecting her time with U.G. Krishnamurti\, a brief history of yoga\, a collection of Vedic Yantras and Melissa’s eight Miracle Combination practices.

SUMMARY:Dancing Leaves: Pigment Prints By Thomas Bernsten
DESCRIPTION:About The Exhibit\n\nThrough June 28\, 2014 \n\nDancing Leaves Portraits have been featured in publications such as CT Cottages & Gardens\, shown in galleries; amongst them The Silvermine Guild of Artists in New Canaan\, CT where I am an active member. An extensive show of huge 4 x 5 foot prints filled the Main Gallery at The National Arts Club in New York City. Several public and private collections\, The Dana Farber Cancer Institute and New York Clearing house among them have acquired the work. The collection of photographic images has become the inspiration for a similar collection of sculpture for the garden landscape. These leaves are sculpted in both bronze and fabricated in steel. Presently my work involves building sculpture inspired by the ancient practice of meditative walking paths such as in a labyrinth. \n\n\nAbout The Artist\n\nFrom the artist: I seek to express in my work a feeling of profound optimism\, wonder\, joy\, and beauty. While walking one winter day across a frozen pond I glanced at my feet. The leaves encased in the ice mesmerized me. In a moment of grace the concept of expressing that moment came to me. It would become a collection of photographs and sculpture entitled “Dancing Leaves Portraits”.

SUMMARY:Stillness In Motion: Ink Drawings By Norman Galinsky
DESCRIPTION:About The Exhibit\n\nThrough June 28\, 2014 \n\nNorman Galinsky’s artwork has been inspired and informed by his background in science and engineering and his ongoing interest in metaphysical issues and explorations of consciousness. \nThe recent works involve the free-hand application of small marks to construct larger\, intuitively derived geometric patterns. The compositions are produced through a meditative approach\, a practice of focused attention and intention\, often using ancient sacred geometric forms and proportions. I call the work “process oriented” because I maintain an intimate connection with the act of generating the works by hand. Thus\, I remain an engaged and active participant in the creation\, rather than an observer. \nThe images suggest emissions of energy waves and particles\, vibrating fields and networks that denote a synthesis between the material world and a hidden quantum universe. Many of the works utilize symmetry and circular imagery of converging forms\, a central focus of “stillness” to express the unity of consciousness—the one shared life. \nI want my images to encourage thinking as well as feeling\, to challenge as well as to promote healing and balance\, to connect the personal with the universal order\, and to draw one into a dialog with the present moment in ways that intimate the future. \n\n\nAbout The Artist\n\nNorman Galinsky’s artwork has been inspired by his background in science and engineering and his ongoing studies of metaphysics and spiritual issues. \nHis art studies began with a focus on traditional renaissance oil and egg tempera painting techniques\, followed by classes with Henry Pearson at the New School and with Will Barnet and George Tooker at the Art Students League in NYC. In the late 1960’s\, he participated in the Experiments in Art and Technology program developed by Billy Kluver and Robert Rauschenburg. After a seven-year career in chemical engineering\, he left industry and turned fully to art\, earning an MFA degree from Columbia University in 1973. At Columbia he studied painting with Philip Guston\, Jack Tworkov\, and Stamos\, and printmaking with Bob Blackburn and Tony Harrison. \nIn addition\, his artwork has been shaped by his 20 year experience in the practice and teaching of Chinese healing exercises and martial arts\, including qigong\, Taiji Quan\, and other meditative and energetic healing disciplines. He has taught these forms in his studio as well as in area hospitals\, including: New York Presbyterian (under the direction of Dr. Mehmet Oz)\, Englewood Hospital\, Nyack Cancer Center\, and St. John’s Riverside Hospital in Yonkers\, NY. \nBy synthesizing and translating the seemingly disparate worlds of the quantum sciences and spirituality into compelling images\, Galinsky’s art depicts the evolving dynamic order underlying our world today and forecasts possibilities for the future.

SUMMARY:Dance Of The Spirits: Mandalas By Jon H. Davis
DESCRIPTION:About The Exhibit\n\nThrough March 15\, 2014 \n\nThe life of a travel photographer is an adventure filled with the unexpected. Things can happen quickly\, so having the camera ready to capture the moment is essential. A hippo that emerges off the bow of a Tanzanian riverboat will not wait and it’s challenging\, and rare\, to get the perfect shot. \nSometimes\, when I feel everything is running smoothly\, the weather suddenly changes and delays a shoot. I keep moving forward. Then slowly\, the storm passes\, the clouds part and the landscape is painted with an incredible light\, accented by a gorgeous rainbow. This happened in Alaska’s Denali National Park. The beauty of it is\, you never know\, as nature reveals itself in so many mysterious ways. I am never at a loss to find even some small treasure through the lens. Many of those often overlooked gems become  the source material for my original process of “digital alchemy” and the creation of new mandalas. \n\n\nAbout The Artist\n\n \nJon H. Davis embraces digital media\, expressing his vision of people and places while reflecting his love of the natural world\, ancient arts\, and global adventures. He has been an avid photographer since his youth and after studies at the Brooks Institute of Fine Art and Photography\, went on a two-year sojourn taking volumes of photos. While driving across Europe and Asia in his Volkswagen van\, his adventures included kayaking in the fjords of Norway\, skiing throughout the Alps\, and elephant-riding in Sri Lanka. His photographs–including ships from the Indian Ocean\, robots from Japan\, food from Thailand\, and totem poles from Canada– have been published in many magazines including The Robb Report\, Body & Soul\, The Hook\, Spa Life\, Global Rhythm and North American Inns.\n \nIn addition to his video documentaries and vast inventory of photographs from around the world\, Davis creates colorful contemporary artworks inspired by Tibetan mandalas (cosmic maps of the universe). Working with a process he calls “digital alchemy\,” he transforms his photographs and paintings into contemporary mandalas\, incorporating elements\, textures\, and patterns from the natural world. These works are available in limited edition archival prints as well as on canvas\, metal\, and in digital installations. Davis is currently working on a new book of his mandala images.
