Renowned painter Robert Bardo, sculptor Emil Alzmora, and Richard Segalman are just a few of the talented artists exhibiting artwork in the Hudson Valley this fall.
“Holograms: Dimensions in Light” at Cornell Creative Arts Center
“Sowing Seeds of Emptiness” at Garrison Art Center
Bortolami Gallery takes over Foreland’s largest gallery space in Catskill to present new and past works by renowned painter Robert Bordo. The New York-based, Canadian-American artist is known for paintings positioned between representation and abstraction that blend modernist formal concerns with postmodern approaches to image, subject matter, and metaphor. Bordo’s ultimate subject may be painting itself and his body of work a conversation between its various forms and functions.
“Man Saves Shark” at Garage Gallery
Beacon-based sculptor Emil Alzamora has achieved international renown exploring the boundaries and meaning of the human form in his work. His sculptures of the human form are beautiful grotesques that reveal hidden meanings in their distortion. “Man Saves Shark” is Alzamora’s first foray into the intersection of humans and the animal kingdom—and we’re very much here for it. He’s made sharks cuddly. The exhibit’s centerpiece at Beacon’s Garage Gallery, Man Saves Shark, is as sensual a depiction of two beings as Rodin’s The Kiss.
Alisa Sikelianos-Carter’s mixed-media works on paper explore connections between Black ancestry, power, intuition, and the divine at Fridman Gallery in Beacon. Her work engages closely with texture—hard ground, velvety gouache, glittery mica, and other luminescent materials—mapping the diversity of the color black and of the Black experience. Sikelianos-Carter creates devotional objects that assert that Black features are a manifestation of a sacred and divine technology that has served as a means of survival, both physically and metaphysically.
