GALLERY ON GRANT
Come stroll through the Gallery on Grant, located at the Axelrod Performing Arts Center in Deal Park, NJ as we celebrate the work of George Seurat in honor of our latest production, Sunday in the Park with George.
This exhibit celebrates George Seurat’s use of Pointillism in his most famous painting created between 1884-1886: A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte and will open March 8 at 6:00 PM and run through May 1.
Seurat’s work utilizes tiny dots of color to create scenes of everyday life. Seurat was influenced by Impressionist artists, such as Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro. Impressionist art is characterized by capturing candid poses as well as landscapes and is expressed by bright and varied color.
“The exhibit highlights art from five local artists. Each of the showcased work is created in the spirit of Impressionism or specifically uses the technique of Pointillism and pays homage to Axelrod’s production of Sondheim’s Sunday in the Park with George as it reflects the performance’s use of light and color.”
The New Jersey artists showcased include Arlene Mollow, Marsha Heller, Andrea Geller,
Léni Paquet-Morante, and Leslie Backlund.
