Still Life Paintings: Season Opener in Romano Gallery

Blair Academy’s Romano Gallery opens for the 2011-12 school year with an exhibit entitled, “Contemporary Perceptions: Zeuxis Still Life Painting.” Zeuxis, an association of 25 painters and guests, explores the role of perception in contemporary still life painting. An artists’ statement notes: “The emphasis is on sensibility and the part it plays in shaping individual expression. Contemporary still life painting evokes the nature of object. Artists gather sensations with their eyes and codify them with their minds. Each painting is a reconstruction in color and light of this interaction between seeing, feeling and understanding. The theme allows each artist a way of translating onto canvas an individual sensibility.”

These paintings will be on display from September 5-October 1. An artists’ reception was held on September 15. Click here for a full listing of the new season. Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. till 6 p.m.; admission to the gallery is free and open to the public. For more information, please call (908) 362-6121, ext. 0.
