April 2015

April brings us solo shows from Jerry Vis and Arline Simon. Both are long term gallery members; each has a unique vision and vocabulary. Vis' abstract view of the two dimensional plane is counter-balanced by his witty narrative sculptures. Simon's paintings glow with a sense of reverence for the world around her.

Join us for the opening reception on Sunday, March 29th from 2-5pm to meet the artists and enjoy Spring!

In Retrospect:

Painting & Sculpture,

1980 to Today

"In 2015, I will have been a member of Upstream Gallery for nearly 20 years. This show is a celebration of all the solo shows I have had at Upstream when it was in Dobbs Ferry and a way to introduce myself to our new community of Hastings-on-Hudson. It seemed appropriate to do this with a retrospective of my work over this period."

--Jerry Vis

Arline Simon, View from Chalk House, Acrylic on Canvas

Arline Simon:

Here & There

"I paint what's most familiar to me: seas and landscapes where I live, ordinary views of places I've visited and come to love or the small landmarks of everyday life. In every painting I strive to embody what is most extraordinary in that which often goes unseen."

--Arline Simon

About Upstream: Since 1991 Upstream has been a unique community of arts professionals whose members work together cooperatively. Artist members look to Upstream as a venue for experimentation, mutual support and artistic growth. In that spirit, we engage with other artists through a regular program of juried and invitational exhibits. The gallery embraces all fine arts media and all styles from realism to abstraction. Upstream is an established resource for new or experienced art collectors, as well as area curators, designers and art consultants.

The current artist members work in a variety of media including painting, sculpture, collage / assemblage, print-making and photography. Styles range from the representational to the abstract. Members have shown in a wide variety of venues throughout the United States and Europe. Upstream encourages artists to submit their work for review. Submissions are reviewed on a monthly basis.
