PATCHOGUE ARTS COUNCIL • MOCA L.I. & Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts
Echoes Carole J. Amodeo and Algirdas Anglickas Curated by John Cino July 1 – August 31, 2022
Reception: August 2, 2022, 7:00PM
The Patchogue Arts Council and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Long Island with their partners at the Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts present Echoes, a joint exhibition of the works of Carole J. Amodeo and Algirdas Anglickas.
Both Carole and Algirdas are members of the Patchogue Arts Council. In their present work in Echoes curator John Cino saw similar playful interests in color and form through different media and subjects.
The photographs presented by Carole J. Amodeo continue her ongoing “Reflections” series. In a body of work stretching 14 years, Carole has photographed various downtown storefronts creating interesting juxtapositions between the objects with the windows and the street scenes reflected on the windows. During a recent exhibit at the Riverhead Historical Society, she observed a collection of mirrored glass. The curvature of the glass offered a different, more abstract reflection which she explores in these works.
Algirdas Anglickas is a painter whose works combine paint with an assortment of collaged materials. His works are tactile and energetic. The works in Echoes use figurative imagery of musicians, children playing, or animals that frolic amidst textural swirls.
While the methods and materials may vary, the works in Echoes are united by their use of a limited palette of blacks, whites, grays, and ambers and swirling curvilinear forms.
There will be an artist’s reception followed by a live discussion between the artists and curator on Tuesday, August 2 at 7:00pm
Lobby Art Galley has a rolling submission process, all members of PAC are welcome to submit work for consideration.
