“An Eclectic Assembly” at Gourgaud Gallery

“GREEN AND RED”: Works by artist Gary David Fournier will be showcased in “An Eclectic Assembly of Work in Oil, Water Colour, and Acrylic” at Gourgaud Gallery in Cranbury. The exhibition runs July 8 through July 27, with a reception on Sunday, July 8 from 1 to 3 p.m.

The Gourgaud Gallery, located in Town Hall at 23-A North Main Street in Cranbury, presents works by artist Gary David Fournier in “An Eclectic Assembly of Work in Oil, Water Colour, and Acrylic.” The exhibition runs July 8 through July 27, with a reception on Sunday, July 8 from 1 to 3 p.m.

On his website, garydavidfournier.com, the artist says, “I try to combine impressionism using the frequent and visible brush strokes and canvas texture to emphasize elements of my subjects. I often use color mixing on the canvas rather than the palette, and in so doing I am amazed at the affect that often results. Glazing is a new part of my oil and acrylic technique learned recently in a personalized painting class. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my more recent engagement with local art groups discussing and sharing mutual stories of our work and visiting galleries to study a variety of artists and their works.”

The artwork is for sale, with 20 percent of each sale going to support the Cranbury Arts Council and its programs. Cash or a check made out to the Cranbury Arts Council is accepted as payment. See www.cranburyartscouncil.org.

Gourgaud Gallery is open Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. It is also open on Sundays July 8 and July 15 from 1 to 3 p.m.
