SUMMARY:The Valley Of Enchantment… Hudson River – Paintings By Radu Serban
DESCRIPTION:About The Exhibit\n\nOpening Reception: Artists’ Reception Sunday July 24\, 2022 // 12 PM – 3 PM \nThrough May 3rd thru August 28th \n\nRadu Serban\, Ph.D\, Emeritus AIA \n \nRadu Serban was born in 1943 in Bucharest\, Romania\, into a family of artists. His art and architectural activity spans three continents\, capitalizing on both his European background and training coupled with more than five decades of creative experience. Formally educated as an architect\, his complex personality and native gifts sharpened through arduous training and application allowing him to intertwine his carrier as an architect and apply intense artistic time resulting as an acclaimed painter. To fulfill his creative aspirations\, together with family\, in 1974 he chose to work for a while in Northern Africa-Algeria\, then moved to Paris -France. In 1982 he settled in New York. He discovered the Hudson River Valley. Radu was fascinated by and chose it as a “locus”\, settling there for his art exploration and family comfort. \n \nSerban’s artistic talents concentrated upon the diversity of subjects found in the Valley and he started to nurture a real and deep admiration of its history\, river  communities and enchanting landscapes. The Rockefeller Park Preserve’s natural landmark offered him idyllic geographic resources. \nA realist artist\, Radu’s” “tableaux” are to seek new ways to evolve his favored “oils” medium in significant applications with palette knives to yield unique textures and beautiful life-like colors in new postimpressionistic images. \nA demand for his images of New York City and countryside locations are in contrast with his sophisticated cityscapes of London\, Paris and other European destinations thus appealing to collectors world-wide. Radu’s art was shown in Manhattan’s Soho and Roosevelt Island\, in Washington D.C.\, London\, Bucharest\, Pleasantville\, Piermont\, Tappan\, Nyack\, Sparkill. \n \nAs an architect\, before opening his own practice in partnership with two other New York architects\, Radu Serban’s experience included projects at few renowned New York firms. He first worked with WBTL and DBA for colleges (Harvard\, UMAB\, Baruch). As a principal with ILeyvaA he was involved in prestigious New York landmark projects like Time Warner at Columbus Circle\, Random House-Park Imperial on Broadway (JV w/SOM)\, Beekman Tower\, Atlantic Yards (JV w/FOGehryA)\, Astor Place (JV w/GSA)\, luxury Residences (JV w/RAMSternA). As an associate partner-Director of International Projects for CKondylisP he worked for clients in Romania\, Russia\, Ukraine\, Belarus\, Check Republic\, Bulgaria\, Kazakhstan\, and Philippines. \nRadu Serban earned both his Architecture and Urban Planning Diploma and Ph.D. degrees from “Ion Mincu” University of Architecture and Urbanism in Bucharest\, Romania and attended Courses in Italian Art and Architecture at The University for the Foreigners in Perugia\, Italy. In the early ‘80s\, as in a real workshop\, Radu’s Paris experience enriched his artistic and architectural background. \n \nHe received the Design Award of the Masonry Institute of Maryland and awards from the Romanian Union of Architects\, as well as painting awards from different art organizations. He was a member of the Advisory Board of the International Architectural Preservation Foundation “Pro Patrimonio”. Radu Serban has his studio in Tappan\, close to Hudson River and not far from Manhattan\, oscillating in-between these two environments which became indispensable to his life-style.

SUMMARY:River Valley Dreams – Photographs By Kate Buggeln
DESCRIPTION:About The Exhibit\n\nOpening Reception: Artists’ Reception\, Sunday\, July 24\, 2022 | More Info \nThrough May 3rd thru August 28th 2022 \n\n“I stepped to the view-finder side of the camera following a long career in retail and fashion.” \n \nSelf Portrait \n\nWhether the work is figurative or abstract\, my intent is to capture a mood and create a sense of mystery about the subject. The result can be dream-like or a puzzle to figure out. Imitating the painters and potters I grew up with\, I use a highly physical creative process. Much of my abstract images are created by deliberate camera movements at low light times of day and night with my camera settings at play. But when the weather\, water or place are just right\, I am drawn to their figurative possibilities. Self-taught in business\, I took the same approach with the camera. My unstudied approach\, and impatience with post-production editing has created an instinctual result. For better or worse\, it is my own.\nI live in the magnificent Hudson River Valley\, and the towns and natural places it nurtures are an inspirational well\, serving me as they have other artists for many generations. The valley is ever in motion\, its impermanence a daily\, provocative constant to get out of bed\, grab the camera and shoot. \nThe camera frame quiets the internal noise of this rollercoaster life. I hope my images bring the same hush to the viewer. \nMy work is also on view at Piermont’s Flywheel Gallery and at katebuggelnphotography.com. You can follow my creative work and life on IG @katebuggeln.”–Kate Buggeln \n \nSummer \n\n  \n \nSticky Day \n\n \nGateway \n  \n \nFoggy Head

SUMMARY:Abstractions: The Mixed Media Of Eileen Karakashian
DESCRIPTION:About The Exhibit\n\nOpening Reception: Sunday November 28th\, 12:00PM-3:00PM | More Info \nThrough Monday\, January 31\, 2022 in Gallery Two \n\nEileen Karakashian \nEileen received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1994 from the\nSchool of Visual Arts in New York City\, majoring in Advertising Design.\nSince graduation she was an art director in advertising\, producing both\nnational TV and print campaigns. Her work has been featured in Adweek\nand Advertising Age magazine. She continued her fine art studies at the Art\nStudents League in NYC\, concentrating on painting\, design\, color\, composition\nand collage. \nToday\, Karakashian makes paintings and mixed media artworks. By\nemphasizing aesthetics\, Eileen tries to develop forms that do not follow logical\ncriteria\, but are based only on subjective associations and formal parallels\,\nwhich incite the viewer to make new personal associations. Her paintings are\nbased on formal associations which open a unique poetic vein. Multilayered\nimages arise in which the fragility and instability of our seemingly certain reality\nis questioned. By rejecting an objective truth and global cultural narratives\, she\ncreates with daily\, recognizable elements\, an unprecedented situation in which\nthe viewer is confronted with the conditioning of his own perception and has\nto reconsider his biased position. \nColor and texture are the foundations to my paintings. The mixed media and\nacrylic paintings I create all usually start with a color idea and then evolve into a\ncomposition in which color and texture are the primary subjects. By applying\nabstraction\, I create intense personal moments created by means of rules and\nomissions\, acceptance and refusal. The results are deconstructed to the extent\nthat meaning is shifted and possible interpretation becomes multifaceted. – E.K. \n \nFor inquiries\, contact Eileen at eileen@ekarakashian.com \nVisit Eileen’s Website: Ekarakashian.com \nInstagram Profile: E.Karakashian.Art

SUMMARY:Perspectives: The Photography Of Mitch Eiss
DESCRIPTION:About The Exhibit\n\nOpening Reception: Sunday\, November 28th\, 12:00PM-3:00PM | More Info \nThrough Monday\, January 31\, 2022 \n\nThe question is not what you look at\, but what you see. – Henry David Thoreau\, 1851  \nThe Photography of Mitch Eiss \nI got my first film camera in the early 1960’s – a Kodak Brownie with a flash bulb – and that was the beginning of a life-long passion for capturing moments and people. As my interest in drawing and photography grew\, I entered college as an art major but turbulent times and my interest in social issues led me to a career in mental health. Then life and responsibility eventually turned me to a corporate career. My one constant throughout was my love for art and photography. \nI am now happily devoting my time to making and sharing photographs. (Oh\, how proud my father would be.) I have shot major events and small music club venues\, but primarily\, ‘I walk the streets.’ Each of us can look at an object\, a person or scene\, and yet\, we all see\, feel and react differently. \nThis show\, “Perspectives” is representative of what and how I see – my mind’s eye – and perhaps tells you a little something about me and what I find naturally beautiful. \nI feel extremely fortunate to be able to share these images with you in this wonderful setting. – M.E \n \nwww.mitcheiss.photography \n\n \nwww.mitcheiss.photography \n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nFor inquiries\, please contact mitch@mitcheiss.photography. \nVisit Mitch’s website: www.mitcheiss.photography \nInstagram Profile: https://www.instagram.com/mitcheiss/

SUMMARY:Contemporary Realism – Paintings By James Kimak
DESCRIPTION:About The Exhibit\n\nOpening Reception: Sunday\, April 25\, 2021\, 12 PM – 3 PM | More Info \nThrough July 2021 \n\n“As a multidisciplinary artist working in both fine and graphic arts\, I have been fortunate to live a ‘creative life’ since graduating with a BS in Fine Art from the University of Bridgeport in 1976. While working in creative design and illustration positions including The New Haven Register\, DC and Marvel Comics\, NBC and CNBC\, I have kept up my work in painting and drawing\, having my first solo show\, “A Sense of Place\,” at the Edward Hopper House (now Museum) in Nyack\, NY in 1993. Following this successful show\, I became a founding member of the cooperative Piermont (NY) Flywheel Gallery where I exhibited for a number of years before eventual representation by the Allen Sheppard Gallery in Piermont and New York City’s Chelsea arts district. There were four successful solo exhibits with this gallery. \nSince then\, I have exhibited in many juried (including some jurists of note)\, group and solo shows in and around NYC\, including at the annual national juried show at the Rockport (MA) Art Association & Museum\, where I garnered a Gold Medal for Excellence in Painting.  Also among these shows was a regular showing of seven solo exhibitions at Chef Peter Kelley’s (Iron Chef winner) restaurant\, the Freelance Cafe in Piermont. I have also donated numerous works to various non-profit organizations’ fund raising efforts throughout the years\, and am a former Board member of the Edward Hopper House Museum. \n For the past 15 years\, another focus has been on large-scale graphic mural designs for many major institutions such as Columbia University\, New York Presbyterian Hospitals\, the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh\, Montefiore Medical Center\, and the Garden of Dreams Foundation of Madison Square Garden among others. These internationally award-winning graphic\, narrative works\, which often incorporate my fine art and photography\, can be seen at www.KimakDesign.com . \nBeginning in 2019\, I switched my long-time painting and drawing focus from works in pastel\, to larger pieces in acrylic on canvas. I focus on light and form\, using abstraction and realism in the Edward Hopper mold (among other influences – I am also a fan of Fairfield porter\, Richard Diebenkorn\, etc..) to express my feelings about the world around me\, focusing on beauty in the play of light on what is\, often times\, seemingly ordinary subject matter. Indeed\, a 2019 solo show at the ArtSuite Gallery in Piermont\, NY was entitled “Explorations in Light and Form.” I am scheduled for inclusion in a group show later this year at the Carrie Haddad Gallery in Hudson\, NY. My work can also be currently viewed at Ned Kelly and Company in Piermont and on my website at JamesKimakFineArt.com \nMy wish is that any “art statement” I can make lies more concretely in the works themselves. I hope you enjoy viewing them. Please contact me\, or the staff at Roost\, if you are interested in purchasing any of the pieces.”~James \nExhibit may be viewed while dining at Roost Restaurant.

SUMMARY:Norman Galinsky: “Contemplating Presence”
DESCRIPTION:About The Exhibit\n\nClosing Reception: March 21\, 2021 | More Info \nThrough Early April 2021 \n\nAbove image: “Spiral Cluster”  72”x 72”  2019 \nGallery Hours by Appointment. Call 845-359-0258 \nArt may also be viewed during Roost Restaurant’s hours of operation\, Wednesday through Monday (Closed Tuesday). Doors open @ 5 PM. \nNorman Galinsky captures the essence of energy in his art\, creating works that depict stillness in motion.  \nHis work represents the relationship between the energetic and quantum nature of reality and the spiritual essence embodied by art. He believes that art expression is energy itself\, an aspect of what the Chinese term Qi. Using a vocabulary of abstract geometric forms and free-hand applied marks\, patterns are developed that contain energy and facilitate its flow. These compositions are created through an intuitive\, meditative approach\, a practice of focused attention and intention. The images suggest emissions of waves and particles\, vibratory fields\, and networks. Often sacred geometric shapes and proportions and converging circular forms are used to generate a central focus—a “stillpoint”—that inspires contemplation.  \nThis exhibition is being presented in Gallery Two. \n\n\nAbout The Artist\n\n\nAfter an early career in industry—in applied research in chemical engineering\, Norman Galinsky turned fully to art\, earning an MFA degree from Columbia University. At Columbia\, he studied painting with Philip Guston\, Jack Tworkov\, and Stamos\, and printmaking with Bob Blackburn and Tony Harrison. He also studied with George Tooker and Will Barnet at the Art Students League\, and with Henry Pearson at the New School. Artists Stephen Greene and Richard Pousette-Dart were friends and mentors. \nGalinsky’s art has also been inspired and informed by his background in science and engineering\, by his ongoing interest and study of meditative and energy-healing disciplines and consciousness\, as well as by his more than 35-year study\, practice\, and teaching of Chinese martial and healing arts\, including Taiji Quan and qigong. He sees his work as related to the emerging field of “NeuroArts\,” the science of how art measurably changes the brain and the body to promote health and well-being. \nNorman Galinsky had his first exhibit in New York City in 1977 at the Jock Truman Gallery (formerly The Betty Parsons Gallery) and has been exhibiting in solo and group exhibitions ever since. His art is represented in numerous private and corporate collections\, including IBM\, Exxon-Mobil\, The Four Seasons Hotels\, Bank of America\, Astra Merck\, Novartis\, and Pepsico\, among others. \nVisit Norman’s website:  www.normangalinsky.com

D.\, 1968 \nTom Artin is a photographer living in Rockland County\, New York. His subjects range from landscapes\, seascapes and cityscapes to portraits\, florals and still lifes.  Artin began taking\, developing\, and printing images in the early 1950s.  \nThe majority of Artin’s photographs originate as medium format images shot on film with vintage Rolleiflexes and a Hasselblad\, though he also works with 4”x5” and 8”x10” view cameras.  In recent years\, he has added digital cameras to his toolbox\, specifically several Sony cameras outfitted with Carl Zeiss lenses.  In the digital lightroom\, he processes images scanned from negatives and transparencies in Photoshop and prints on Hahnemühle water-color type papers via Conetech Piezography\, a Quad-tone digital black and white printing process developed for the Epson inkjet printers. \nIn the 1950’s Artin outfitted his own dedicated darkroom at home and devoted his high school senior chemistry project to the chemistry of photography\, which included fabricating and printing on his own photographic paper.  In 1956\, he worked as photographic assistant to William Vandivert\, staff photographer for Life and Time magazines\, and one of the founders of Magnum.  Tom’s photographic career ran in parallel with a career as medieval scholar and college teacher\, which he left in 1979 to pursue yet a third a career as a professional jazz musician.  \nIn recent decades\, Artin’s work has been primarily in the fine-art category\, though he has done fashion and other commercial photography for both print and the internet.  Artin’s studio\, in Sparkill\, NY\, serves also as his lightroom.  His images and fine art posters are sold world-wide. He is currently represented by Artography Limited: www.artographylimited.com and www.artographylimited.shop \nTom Artin can be reached at tom@artinarts.com. \nVist Tom’s Website at www.artinarts.com

SUMMARY:Sparkill Concert Series Presents: A Gift from Oxana and Vassily
DESCRIPTION:We are so fortunate to have these World-Renowned Pianists performing at Union Arts Center once again! Watch it any time\, as many times as you’d like\, from the comfort of home. \n\n\nOXANA MIKHAILOFF IN AN ALL-CHOPIN RECITAL\n“I remember hearing Oxana play Chopin on many occasions. For instance\, I have heard her 4th Ballade a number of times. Each time it had a new meaning\, a new “stage”. \nHer current selection of Chopin pieces is very personal – only those works that she is particularly close with and performed at different stages of her life. Now they once again come alive at this very special event. \nIt is indeed a journey through Chopin’s life. And it is also a journey through life itself.” \n–Vassily Primakov
