Opening Reception
Art Show featuring Barbara Maslen "Harvesting the Land and Sea"
5 - 8 PM
At Remsenburg Academy
Barbara Maslen on her new series "Harvesting the Land & Sea": "This is a celebration of working with one's hands, and the joy of reaping a harvest from your efforts. In examining man's relationship to nature, the figures are at one with, or even absorbed by their surroundings, capturing that moment of bliss and total absorption with the task at hand. They are not meant as portraits, but anonymous "everyman" intent on their work. At the same time, my work is about paint and painting, my working with my hands... as much as it is about the subject depicted." Exhibit runs: August 16 - Labor Day, September 2, 2013. Gallery hours Friday, Saturday, Sunday 11 AM - 6 PM or by appointment: maslen@optonline.net. For more information: www.barbaramaslen.com
