The Art House Gallery presents "Landscapes & Meditation: Art to Quiet the Mind"

originally published: 02/03/2020


(JERSEY CITY, NJ) -- Art House Gallery will present the work of Lane O’Shea from February 8-16. Seen recently in Art House’s group exhibition, ‘Lost, Then Found’ as part of the 29th Annual Jersey City Art & Studio Tour in October 2019, Ms. O’Shea was chosen for a solo exhibition in the Art House Gallery that will display works from two complementary collections, the Meditation Collection and the Atmospheric Collection. 

From Ms. O’Shea, "The Meditation Collection is inspired by my interest in mindfulness and meditation. I hope that the pieces will serve as a reminder to take a few moments each day to quiet the mind against challenges, to restore balance among the priorities of your day, and to be present in every moment. The Atmospheric Collection is inspired by my interest in the uncontrollable natural forces in our lives. I hope that the pieces will serve as a reminder to appreciate these forces, to enjoy their beauty, respect and wonder at their power, and to appreciate how we fit into the balance."

There will be an opening reception on Sunday, February 9th from 2:00pm to 5:00pm. The show, which is curated by Andrea McKenna, runs until February 16th.

Gallery Hours will be Saturdays and Sundays from 12:00pm to 3:00pm. If you cannot attend during gallery hours, appointments are available.

She paints in oil, acrylic, watercolor, and also uses charcoal with pen and ink.  She is also a trained photographer. She started exhibiting in 2013 and in 2018, launched Lane O’Shea Fine Art.

Kirby

Kirby & Delia: "All Rise"

The murals in the Brennan Courthouse (583 Newark Avenue) aren't tough to decipher. There are pilgrims, there are patriots, and there is Hudson County history rendered in the boldest strokes. Look to the underside of the building's grand dome and you'll find signs of the Zodiac; look to the walls for "The Coming of the English," a piece by Howard Pyle that depicts exactly what its title suggests that it will. This feels appropriate for the town's most handsome building — one with an interior reminiscent of classic civic architecture in Trenton and D.C. and the decorated Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City, and named after a jurist whose written decisions on the Supreme Court were distinguished by their clarity. William Brennan believed in the salutary effects of direct and comprehensible language. For him, the law was no place for abstraction.
