An upcoming show at the Artists’ Gallery in Lambertville will feature oil paintings by Maxine Shore (like this 36 by 48 inch oil, shown here) and photographs by Joseph DeFay from July 9, through August 2, with an opening reception on Saturday, July 11 from 4 to 7 p.m. Ms. Shore is a contemporary colorist who uses color and light in an effort to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Her paintings are in many private collections as well as prominent institutions. Mr. DeFay’s photography pulls out the simpler aspects of everyday life so they can be seen with a renewed beauty, and an exciting new perspective.
