On Thursday, March 11th enjoy the richness of art history as you visit SoBoBo and Firehouse Gallery. Starting at 6:00 pm and ending at 8:00 pm at Firehouse Gallery, 81 Naugatuck Avenue, awards will be given for those who placed in the juried show.
The artists who entered have an opportunity to choose their own interpretation of a certain style which reflects a particular period in art history from the classical Renaissance period, the Impressionist period, the Surrealist masters, the Cubists or the Abstract Moderns including pop art, collage art and constructions such as assemblages. The medium can be either oil, acrylic, ink, pencil pastels, hand-pulled prints and collage material. Sculptures too have been favorites by many artists throughout history. Sculptures can be created in bronze, clay, plaster of paris, paper mache, metal, or found objects.
Meet juror Josephine Robinson who is a professional artist. Her own works often reflect her interest in architecture and the human figure. Ms. Robinson received her art education in England. She received a BA from Warwick University and trained at Southwalk College and the London Film Makers Co-op. She is a resident of Milford, teaches at the Silvermine Guild Arts Center in New Canaan, also at the Creative Arts Workshop in New Haven and the Milford Adult Education Program.
Before you leave and head down around the corner to SoBoBo, make sure you place your vote for People's Choice Award.

"Lioness - Odalisque"

Terra-Cotta Relief
Realist painters Arlene Capozzi, Rona Harris, John Iorio, Chandler Davis, Cynthia Rifkin, and Charles Bell create the world around us on canvas and wood. Their work is so real that you can touch the flowers, walk down the path and even wade in the water.
Contemporary and Modernists Frieda Howling, Matt Roe, Laryssa Sendich, Andrew Hungaski, and Luke Lynch, and yes, Cynthia Rifkin give us the sense of symetry and asymetry at the same time that shows us balancing of imbalance. Quite a unique perception on their part!
"Man For All Seasons"
