Drawing Conclusions

Patchogue Art Gallery’s 2018 calendar draws to a conclusion with Drawing Conclusions opening on November 10. The exhibition will remain on view through December 23. There will be an artist’s reception on November 10 between 5 and 7 pm. All are welcome to this free event.

Drawing Conclusions, curated by PAC senior curator, John Cino features the work of Oreen Cohen, Karine Falleni, Jeanne Heifetz and Katherine Kaiser. Drawing Conclusions through installation and technique stretches the concept of drawing beyond its traditional uses.

Oreen Cohen references New York School painting as she creates monumental gestural drawings with the strength and power of abstract expressionist painting. Looking to a more recent genre Karine Falleni turns the walls of the gallery into her drawing surface. Falleni’s works straddle the space between performance and installation. Katherine Kaiser’s large format drawings are both intimate and monumental. Making use of a tightly rendered line quality often associated with a smaller scale Kaiser pulls you into a detailed world of obsessive abstraction often associated with Post Minimalism. Jennifer Heifetz nods to the Minimalists and Conceptual artists with an installation of grid within grid. In her Pre-Occupied series Heifetz creates rich surfaces of powdered pigment and graphite through rubbing and burnishing imparting a leather like surface to the paper. Heifetz truly draws conclusions as her images reveal site plans for cemetery plots.

While each artist finds references in past traditions of modernism, they all carve out for themselves a unique place where drawing becomes something more.

The Art of Creation

The Art of Creation
September 8 – October 21, 2018
Reception: September 8 from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM

Patchogue Arts Council is excited to announce The Art of Creation, PAC’s first international exhibition curated by Bruna Justinić, art historian and independent curator – Croatia, John Cino, sculptor and curator Patchogue Arts Council – USA Beth Giacummo artist and Patchogue Arts Council Executive Director – USA. This exhibition will be on view from September 8 through October 21, 2018, at Patchogue Arts Gallery. A reception will be held on September 8 from 5:00 – 7:00 PM, followed by garden Sessions; a free evening of cross-cultural music from 7:00 – 9:00 PM, taking place just beside the Patchogue Garden on the corner of Terry Street and South Ocean. Both of these events are free and open to the public as part of the Patchogue Arts Council E Pluribus Unum Festival season.

The Art of Creation;
From prehistoric pottery to gothic cathedrals, from ancient jewelry to medieval poetry, from French rationalist philosophy to rock music and contemporary fashion industry, mankind is constantly creating and making something new.

The human urge to innovate is the subject of numerous essays, books, scientific articles, and theses. The title of the exhibition is derived from Arthur Koestler’s 1964 book, “The Act of Creation” in which the author explored the processes of discovery, invention, imagination, and creativity in humor, science and the arts. Similarly, the curators of the present exhibition look to create a visual study on the creation and creating by exploring all aspects of the act and art of making/creating, starting from the individuals as creators through the creative processes to the final results.
