Stan Sperlak Solo Exhibition opens 3rd Friday in November

South Jersey and the Skies Above

Millville, NJ, The Riverfront Renaissance Center for the Arts announces a solo exhibition of landscape paintings by artist Stan Sperlak of Cape May Court House, N.J., from November 15-December 30, 2007 in their main gallery.

This show will mark Sperlak's first return to Millville since 2003. He works in pastel on various grounds, and is most noted for his boldly colorful paintings done on location throughout the Mid Atlantic. There will be several field studies in the show, but this show focuses mostly on works that are studio paintings derived from the many studies he does outdoors.

The paintings on exhibit cover a broad range of colors and moods of the Southern New Jersey landscape. Sperlak continues his exploration of the simple horizons and dominant skies that have become symbolic in his work. While several of the paintings may be recognizable locations to viewers, the intent of many others is to allow the landscape to become just a point of departure where the action of painting begins, and the colors and surfaces that evolve, are themselves the subject.

The show opens on 3RD Friday, November 16th from 6-9 with a reception to meet the artist. At 5:30 Sperlak will give a short talk on his approach to pastel and these painting. The gallery is located at 22 North High St, Millville, NJ for more info call 856-327-4500
