NewMediator: Alfa Art Fall Art Salon 2011
Alfa Art Gallery is a nonprofit gallery in the heart of New Brunswick’s downtown arts district. The gallery focuses on (but isn’t limited to) showing emerging and mid career painters.
We have previously had the curator at Alfa Art, Jewel Lim, as a previous guest on the podcast.
The current show at the gallery is the Fall 2011 Art Salon. The show features mostly painting and a small amount of sculpture and assemblage. Alfa Art always has what I call “paintings for painters”. The work is always interesting with a heavy focus on technique. I chose three artists to focus on because I found their work the most striking.
Theodosia Tamborlane is an abstract painter from Cranford, NJ. The work is hard to describe so I included a link to her website as well. The work is extremely colorful and filled with layer upon layer of organic forms.
Jamie Greenfield is a Lawerenceville, NJ who works a lot of collage elements into very tight and photo-realistic drawings. You can see Jamie’s work at http://jamiegreenfield.net.
Sarah Petruziello is a Rahway, New Jersey based drawer and painter. Her work really struck me most of all.
