Bakst Wapner and Alexander opening reception

A two-person show entitled Color: The Primary Material. “My work is primarily about materiality and about color, line, form and texture and how they are used to express content. The earlier work, with the open weave of the rough burlap, pulled edges, and paper inserts, contrasts to the delicate and refined qualities of the silk organza and tulle of the recent work…” says Bakst Wapner. “My paintings are specific visual events that accrue significance by their ability to engage the imagination through time. Echoing the deep sensuality of nature and born of our persistent despair, they remind us of our aliveness…” says Alexander.

The exhibit runs through July 30, with the gallery open 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays, or by appointment by calling 845-663-2138. For more information go to: www.thelockwoodgallery.com
