“Painting the Light” Exhibit at Artists’ Gallery

“A MYSTERY”: This painting by Jane Adriance is part of “Painting the Light,” her dual show with Debbie Pisacreta, on view November 10 through December 4 at Artists’ Gallery in Lambertville. An opening reception is on November 12 from 4-7 p.m.

Artists Jane Adriance and Debbie Pisacreta will exhibit paintings in an art exhibition entitled “Painting the Light,” on view November 10 through December 4 at the Artists’ Gallery in Lambertville. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, November 12 from 4-7 p.m.

The exhibit explores the quality of light in both abstract and representational paintings. Adriance continues her journey to create juxtapositions of different visual observations with light and color.

“Light determines the color, composition, and the story being told,” said Adriance. “I have combined representative and abstract elements in the same context as well as pure abstractions in oils and mixed media. At times I think this becomes a sensual journey of mystery. Hopefully the observer will find a springboard to fantasy as well as aesthetic pleasure.”

Primarily a plein air painter, Pisacreta is fascinated with capturing light, especially when it is most dramatic during early morning or evening hours.

“Painting on location is an immersive experience for me,” she said. “I remember the sounds, smells, and feel of each location. My paintings represent my emotional response to the scenes. This show includes local scenes as well as images from New York state; Cape Cod, Mass.; and Monhegan Island in Maine. I enjoy observing the differences in the colors and light in each of these locations, but my heart belongs to Monhegan as its natural beauty has been preserved.”

Artists’ Gallery is located at 18 Bridge Street in Lambertville. Hours are Thursday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, visit LambertvilleArts.com.

“DREAMING OF MOHEGAN”: This work by Debbie Pisacreta is featured in “Painting the Light,” her joint show with Jane Adriance, on view November 10 through December 4 at Artists’ Gallery in Lambertville.
