In addition to the Main Gallery exhibit, Drawing the Line, the Associate Artists' Yvonne Yaar and Anthony Thompson in the Alcove, and Society of New Jersey Artists in the Witt Gallery, RRCA will also be featuring the work of Gerald Lynch, sculptor, from August 17 - September 15.

NY Times reviewer, Fred B. Adelson, wrote that Gerald Lynch’s “voluptuous female figures, which he calls earth goddesses, emerge from the blocks of marble in contrapposto stances, immediately bringing to mind Michelangelo and the classical tradition of stone-cutting. In contrast, the rough-hewn bases from which his figures rise suggest both the earth's energy forces and sculptured supports created by Brancusi. ''I perceive marble as a sacred medium -- earth bone formed hundred of millions of years ago,'' Mr. Lynch states. ''And the experience of carving it, although physically demanding, is a spiritual one.''”

The RRCA is honored to have Gerald Lynch’s work here in the Witt Gallery along with the Society of New Jersey Artists. SNJA’s exhibition theme is water. And Lynch’s next work, had he lived, was to be based on a water theme. So through the cooperation of Jenny Klein, SNJA president, and Cheryl Crews, from whose collection the work is taken, the Riverfront Center is proud to show pieces in marble, limestone and bronze. The award-winning film on his life and work will be shown through out the exhibit.
