171 Cedar Arts Center 

 

An exhibition of original artwork, Moments in Time by Pat Saxe, will be presented at 171 Cedar Arts Center's Houghton Gallery, 155 Cedar Street (at East First Street) in Corning, New York. 

 

Pat Saxe is best known in the Southern Tier region as the owner of Saxe Stained Glass in Elmira. In his small studio, he has created and restored countless numbers of stained glass windows for churches, residences and businesses for nearly 40 years. Pat Saxe is fondly remembered by two generations of students as the lead art instructor at Thomas Edison High School in Elmira Heights. He is regularly recognized in parades as a bagpiper marching with the Caledonian Highlanders.

 

Pat Saxe will give a gallery talk about his exciting artworks during a reception for the artist at the halfway point of the show, Friday evening, April 15, 5:00pm to 7:30pm.  Artist's talk at 6:00pm.

James Paulsen: The Other One Makes It True @ Exhibit A

On exhibit through May 14, 2011

Exhibit A

Exhibit A is proud to present a solo exhibition featuring paintings by James Paulsen. Exhibit A is located upstairs in the Pure Design Building, 39-41 East Market Street, Corning NY. Gallery hours are Thursday and Friday 11:00am - 6:00pm, Saturday 4-6:00pm, by chance and by appointment; (607) 259-1008.


 
James Paulsen's vibrant paintings are curious visual compositions that draw from the traditions of Pop Art and Dadaist art movements. Paulson's paintings lead with a whimsical edge, but when given consideration are investigations into how societal forces like government, capitalism and commercialism taint our experiences as individuals. Two distinct bodies of work are represented in this exhibition. Works from the Grand Consumption series combine images of currency with heavily marketed brands. A second collection series depicts surveillance cameras in the public realm. Also in the show are new works incorporating Americana that expand on the Grand Consumption series.

 

 

New Exhibit @ Rockwell Museum
On exhibit through May 2011

Rockwell Museum of Western Art

 

The Rockwell Museum of Western Art is proud to present Face to Face: Portraits and the American West, an exhibition on display through early May 2011.  The exhibition, Face to Face: Portraits and the American West includes works from the Museum's extensive permanent collection as well as items drawn from both Museum and private collections.  Michael Duty, a former director of the Museum, will serve as guest curator for the upcoming exhibition. Duty had previous tenure as executive director of the Rockwell Museum of Western Art from 1983 - 1987.

 

Focusing on the people of the West, Face to Face: Portraits and the American West shows the West from many different perspectives, both historic and contemporary.  From iconic images of early cowboys to the mysticism of Native American traditions, this exhibition shows not only the diversity of the people of the West, but also the diversity of the artists who have depicted the West - the historic, the modern, the real, and the imaginary - as the primary inspiration for their artistic endeavors.  Western images from Native American artists, combined with older traditional portraits of nineteenth century western life and modern interpretations, present the American West as a mosaic of different people, different histories, and diverse expression.  It is the people shown in these artworks who hold the many stories of...the West.
