Robert Ferruci's A Vanishing Landscape Exhibit Opens at RiverWinds Gallery
RiverWinds Gallery at 172 Main Street in Beacon is featuring Robert Ferrucci's A Vanishing Landscape from September 8 - October 8, 2007. Ferucci's paintings depict America's land, barns, farms and the serenity of country living. Influenced by the vanishing open spaces, farms and barns of Hudson Valley and New England, Ferrucci translates the feeling and emotions that surround the subject, time and place. He captures the peace, serenity and simplicity mixed with strong landscapes, old homes, barns and faded images of fields and mountains. He combines soft quiet areas with a strong central image and often from a visually arresting high vantage point. Please come to the opening reception September 8, 5-8pm. Refreshments will be served. The gallery will be open till 9pm at part of Beacon's Second Saturday.
"I remember when I was young, born and raised in the city but having this escape almost every summer to a cottage my family had in the Hudson Valley. With the open spaces, the farms and barns were everywhere at that time. I try to capture that feeling and emotion that surrounds that time of yesteryear".
Robert can best be described as a Contemporary American Folk Artist. His paintings are filled with muted colors and warm earth tones, diffused images and a primitve simplicity, a contemporary style of American Folk Art. His vision is less about details, as it is an affirmation of that sense of stability, peace and simple living we seem to yearn for. He puts part of himself in his paintings as influenced by 45 years of formal education, a lifetime of paintings experience and experimentation. He has studied at the New York city Art Student's League and the Pan American Art School in Manhattan. While working in the graphic art and publishing industry, he also painted for galleries and private commissions. He later studied with Gilbert Stone, a prominent illustrator and professor at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. His paintings have been shown in galleries both in Connecticut and New York.
Gallery hours are Wednesday - Monday 12-6pm and til 9pm on Second Saturday. For further information: RiverWinds Gallery, 845-838- 2 8 8 0 , www.riverwindsgallery.com
