New show, "So American"; photographs by Coleen Marks

Artists reception, Sunday, May 4, 2003, 1 to 4 PM,
Exhibit dates May 3 - 30

Gallery hours are Tue, Wed, Fri & Sat 1 - 4 PM, Thu 1 - 7:30 PM

 "So American" is a cultural portrait that explores our uniquely American relationship with our country's flag and depicts some of the fascinating ways we hang it, wear it and even remake it.

This photographic journey began about ten years ago and grew out of an observation made after returning home from traveling in Europe when I was suddenly struck by how different and much more involved our relationship is with our flag. Of the now hundreds of images I have captured of this icon I have chosen twenty, which are for me, the more evocative of the displays of red, white and blue that I have come upon; a kind of metaphor for American individualism and freedom of expression. What we choose to photograph is also always a personal portrait of the artist. I want this show to express a sense of humor; for my hope is we can look at these images, see ourselves and smile.

Egisto Mercarino

“What a Relief Art”

The Watchung Arts Center is proud to present, for the first time ever, Egisto Mercarino’s Relief Art Exhibit, which boggles the mind when you look at it.  Egisto’s  technique is original and unique, using materials made from plastic or plaster.  “The still life pieces including flowers and other arrangements, are very pretty, using the most beautiful colors,” stated Heinz Otto, Watchung Arts Center Curator; “We have never exhibited anything like this at the WAC before!”

The usual impression produced by an artistic relief is that about one-half of the actual proportions of the object are being seen in their third dimension of depth.  The actual piece includes sculptured art in a self-contained frame.  Average size of the artwork is approximately 24 x 36 each and prices are very affordable. 

Definitely mark your calendar for this spectacular Relief Art Exhibit!

Thursday 1-7:30pm.

 The Thousand Lights of a Jewish Dream

Corina Catarivas thinks through symbolism and believes that people can submerge themselves in a world of symbols.  Through symbols she can express the feelings she has toward life.  Ms. Catarivas’ oil and enamel collages are full of symbolism, color and express the joyousness she sees in life.

Ms. Catarivas, originally from Uruguay, is active participant in religious culture and has designed calendars and cards for various National Jewish organizations.  This exhibit will by her first in the U.S. in several years.

Alternate Light

Joseph Zielinski as a photographer, is drawn to the outdoors. Photography provides an outlet for his creative side in a different way from his training as a research scientist. The majority of Mr. Zielinski’s work has been photographing the environment. His goal has been to capture the changing landscapes and to preserve it on film.

 The photographs displayed showcase landscape in an “alternate light”.  All the images were taken using black and white infrared (IR) film. Mr. Zielinski wanted to capture the original scene, but provide the viewer with an alternate view. Using IR film gives the image a certain mood, which sets it apart from the traditional black and white photograph.

Renaissance Group
Words And Images

Join us at the Watchung Arts Center on February 9^th from 1-4pm for an Artist Reception with the Renaissance Group. Words and Images will be on exhibit from February 5^th through February 28^th. The Gallery is open: Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday 1-4pm, Thursday 1-7:30pm.

 This exhibit, Renaissance Group/Words & Images, takes its inspiration from the Renaissance period in world history, known for its passion for discovery and cultural rebirth.  Just as the Renaissance style has been characterized by multifaceted achievements in several disciplines, this show highlights the versatile abilities of the fifteen participating artists. 

The show’s curators, Norma Bernstock and Coleen Marks, are photographers as well as published poets.  Their active participation in the local art scene has resulted in the bringing together of a multi-talented group of artists who all identify themselves as visual artists as well as writers.  The show’s most unique feature, therefore, will be the display of poetry and prose accompanying the artwork.  

The show will include black and white, color, digitally and hand-manipulated photographs in addition to sculpture, painting, collage, lithography and mixed-media pieces.

Irving Fishman 
“Earth, Rock & Water

Join us at the Watchung Arts Center on Sunday February 9th from 1-4pm for an Artist Reception with Irving Fishman. Mr. Fishman’s exhibit “Earth, Rock & Water” will be on exhibit from February 5^th through the 28^th. The Gallery is open: Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday 1-4pm, Thursday 1-7:30pm.

 In 1971 Mr. Fishman, an electrical engineer, purchased his first serious camera for the purpose of recording many of his lighting design projects.  He learned very quickly the problems inherent in matching spectral sensitivity of film and the spectrum of artificial and natural light sources.

 Some twenty-five years later, he found the time to take photography seriously as an art form. Since then, he has focuses on landscapes in black and white.

 The exhibit “Earth, Rock & Water” consisting of photos from various State & National Parks and from abroad, shows Mr. Fishman’s love and awe of the Power of Nature.  He claims that the immensity of nature’s grandeur makes him feel helpless and he tries to show that in his photography.

Artist Reception: Sunday, June 9^th 2002 1-4pm      Exhibit Dates: June 3^rd – 29^th 2002

Maxine King is a practicing artist with over ten years experience, who is most recently focusing on the sumi ink technique.  Her subject matter, the human figure, is revealed through emphasis on design with added watercolor.  With a keen eye the observer may find psychological interaction between the human being portrayed in the composition.  Her favorite artists are Max Beckman and George Grosz.

Partners in Nature by Maxine King

Ms. King has her Master of Arts degree from Rutgers University and her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Iowa.  She has many additional credits in Creative Arts at the doctoral level, Rutgers University.  Maxine is a newly retired elementary school art teacher, having practiced teaching for the past thirty years in the New Jersey and Massachusetts school systems.

Maxine spent her formative years in The Berkshires of Massachusetts.  She has additionally lived in Nevada and Kentucky.  Last fall, she traveled to Paris, France, to see the museums and sights.

Her numerous awards are from The America Artists Professional League, Art Alliance, Somerset Art Association, Watchung Arts Center, and The Westfield Art Association.  This display at the Watchung Arts Center is her third one-person show.

She has numerous articles and photographs of her work published in/by The Daily Record, The Home News, Insight (Montclair State University), The News Tribune, The Printmaking Council of New Jersey, The Star-Ledger, and Two River Times.

Pamela Moulton’s exhibit “Summer Daydreams of France and Maine” is a body of work that includes a number of semi-abstract landscapes and still lifes and some larger scale purely abstract oil paintings.  Each piece shares a love of color and brush  strokes.  Ms. Moulton is most inspired when working directly from nature with its infinite moods and drama and that is where her perception of color and light are the keenest.

While summering off the coast of Acadia, Pamela spent long hours fascinated by the microcosms of tidal pools, which inspired “tidepool” a series of paintings dealing with three of natures worlds: water, earth and air.  Each element is independent and resists joining with the other elements.  A leaf, for example, is alive, sensual, and appears to float on the tidepool surface. But a closer look reveals that the leaf repels the water, barely touching the surface.

Ms. Moulton now lives in France where she has been working on a large body of work, preparing for an exhibition called “WABI-SABI”.  It is based on the Japanese concept,  “The beauty of thing imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete, the beauty of things modest and humble. It is the beauty of things unconventional.”

“Transformation”- The Art of Diana Hsu Kung

Join us at the Watchung Arts Center on July 7th from 1-4pm for an Artist Reception with Diana Hsu Kung. “Transformation” will be on exhibit from July 2nd through July 21st. The Gallery is open: Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday 1-4pm, Thursday 1-7:30pm.

Artist, Diana Hsu Kung will tell you that in the Eastern mind, nature is irrefutable; it is the ultimate source of all things. Kung’s paintings capture the essence of living in each moment. Her large-scale, acrylic and oil, abstract works are derived in spirit from the loose, elegant qualities of traditional Chinese ink painting and calligraphy, in which she is formally trained.  Her explosive imagery derives its expressive power and compositional strength from Western abstract expressionist art, and speak immense volume of her evolution (transformation) over the past ten years.

The exhibit will include pieces from two of Ms. Kung’s series, Universe Series and Metamorphosis Series.  Many of the paintings have traveled from Taipei, Taiwan where they had been successfully exhibited last year. 

Her Universe Series is derived intuitively from nature.  These lush and colorful paintings are an interpretation of each transient moment.  They are notes in the music of life.  Ms. Kung notes:  “The abstract concept liberates me from many constraints that representational work presented.  Suddenly, the possibilities for expressing myself increased immensely.”

Paintings in the Metamorphosis Series are inspired by the Ms. Kung’s memory of the imagery created by animal fossils and natural rock.  The artist was also inspired by x-rays of her father, which she came across after his death in 1997.  In this group of works, Ms. Kung uses a limited palette consisting mainly of sienna, blue, and black. There is an emphasis on the formal qualities of shape, line, and movement. In her “Rebuild I & II”, she juxtaposed the x-ray film with vigorous black lines and undertones of blue, suggesting a fountain spring that is the life force or rebirth of her father’s spirit.  These paintings have a mysterious and haunting beauty.

Diana Hsu Kung graduated from Taiwan National College of Arts.  She obtained a Master of Art degree from both New Rochelle College in New York and Montclair State University in New Jersey.  She is a long time resident of Warren township in New Jersey.  She also teaches Chinese brush painting to adults and children in the Murray Hill Chinese School at her leisure.

Reception – Sunday, April 7 1-4pm
Exhibit: April 1 - 29

Visual Artist Stephanie Natiello

Beginning April 1, 2002, selected works by the accomplished visual artist Stephanie Natiello will be on display at the Watchung Arts Center. 

Natiello works mainly in oil and graphite, although her skillful hand and training allow easy mobility into the use of a variety of other media.  Her paintings and drawings are firmly grounded realism, a direct result of her pursuit for the most precise manner in which to communicate visually.  Moreover, Natiello feels a realistic artistic approach to “ordinary” objects and habitations allow the artist the unique opportunity to explore psychological undertones in items where they may have been overlooked, simply because these articles have become so recognizable to us.  Her intention is to have one look freshly upon these things which we have viewed so frequently, whether it be a face or a pepper, and to ponder what these articles can or do represent emotionally, mentally, theoretically, etc.

Natiello, a cum laude graduate of Rhode Island School of Design, is a practicing freelance illustrator and is continuing her education at NJ’s Fairleigh Dickinson University in paralegal studies.

Juan Duik

The work of Argentinean artist, Juan Duik, will be on exhibit at the Watchung Arts Center during the month of April.

Born in Uruguay and presently living in Buenos Aires, Argentina, artist Juan Diuk started an amateur photographic career in 1973 by earning several international prizes mainly on the Photographic Society of America circuit.

He won gold medals in international exhibits at Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota; Anaheim, California; Denver, Colorado; and Salt Lake City, Utah.

He became a judge, teacher, lecturer and an organizer of seminars and workshops on subjects such as photo techniques, Gestalt, virtual perception, and color interpretation.

Duke studied drawing and painting with Hermenegildo Sabat, one of Argentina’s greatest artists.  From 1993 on he started to investigate the use of photography in printing techniques, mainly screenpainting.

He developed a vast collection of collages composed from prints, photos, and painting.  He has had several solo and group exhibits in Buenos Aires and New York City.
