New Exhibitions at the Hunterdon Art Museum
The Hunterdon Art Museum has several new exhibitions opening Sunday, May 17 featuring works in collage, drawing and abstract painting. All the following shows run until September 6 unless otherwise noted.
Peter Jacobs: The Collage Journal – The First Decade. For the past decade, artist Peter Jacobs has started each morning by creating a collage from that day’s New York Times. The collages are theatrical stages of abstracted color and rhythms, layers that imbue surreal narratives, symbolism hidden in humor, social commentary, cultural irony and pure visual perception.
To the Best of my Recollection. This new exhibition of drawings explores how we retell stories, and how information is lost or distorted when we consider the people and places in our lives. The four artists whose works are featured in the show – Alex Gingrow, Carlos Rodriguez, Frank Magnotta and Michael Scoggins – approach the art of storytelling from fresh perspectives using text, art and sometimes both.
Lisa Macchi: New Works on Paper. Lisa Macchi is an abstract expressionist working in a modern impressionistic painting/collage style. She finds inspiration in nature, relationships and the contrasting depths between shapes, colors and space.
Carol Rosen: In Memoriam. The Museum hosts a retrospective of the work of Carol Rosen (1933-2014), who was featured in a solo exhibition in 2013. The show includes her recent photo collages that focused on the Holocaust along with cast paper and sculptures of found objects that demonstrate her ongoing interesting in using unconventional materials in her works. Closes June 19.
