ART AT DUPREE GALLERY: The Dupree Gallery in Lambertville now presents “Passion Fusion,” featuring works by gallery owner James E. Dupree and fiber artist Arturo Alonzo Sandoval, on view each weekend through May 28.

The Dupree Gallery in Lambertville is hosting an exhibition, “Passion Fusion,” on view from Friday to Sunday each weekend through May 28. The artwork on display features works by gallery owner James E. Dupree alongside fiber artist Arturo Alonzo Sandoval.

Dupree Gallery is a Black-owned business founded by Philadelphia-based artist Dupree and has locations in both Philadelphia and Lambertville.

Large-scale woven art quilts from Sandoval’s series Pattern Fusion will be hung parallel to work from Dupree’s series Stolen Dreams Forbidden Fruit. The exhibition’s title, “Passion Fusion,” is not only a nod to Sandoval’s acclaimed series, but also illustrates Dupree and Sandoval’s longstanding friendship of 20 years, and the commitment they share for their life’s passion, creating art.

“We have this mutual spirit for how we make art, how we put our compositions together, as well as the materials that we’re using,” said Dupree. “He was using holographic surfaces in his fiber art as soon as it was marketable in plastics. I’m excited about the light, the surface, and the use of the materials from Arturo Alonzo Sandoval’s mixed media pieces, and how it relates to my work.”

The Dupree Gallery is located at 10 North Union Street in Lambertville and 703 South 6th Street in Philadelphia. The Gallery is open Friday through Sunday from 12 to 6 p.m., and by appointment. For more information, call (640) 203-8356, visit jamesdupreeart.com, or email DupreeGallery@gmail.com.
