The Art House Gallery presents "Through The Looking Glass" group exhibit

originally published: 03/25/2024


(JERSEY CITY, NJ) -- Art House Productions presents "Through The Looking Glass", a group exhibit curated by Andrea McKenna, from April 6-28, 2024. Participating artists include: Gail Marie Boykewich, Shauna Finn, Ben Fine, Shiva Jlayer, ONHEL, Paul Pinkman, Robert Policastro, Lauren Rosenblum, Deb Sinha, and Leslie Sheryll.

"The portrait has long served as a means to capture and immortalize the essence of the painter's subject. It is the painter who shapes the ultimate narrative of the subject, while the true thoughts and feelings of the sitter remain veiled in mystery. Was Mona Lisa merely pondering a recent meal, or was she lost in profound contemplation? As we invite viewers to gaze upon "Through the Looking Glass," we encourage contemplation of the subject within the portrait. What interpretation do you offer of their state of being? Does it align with the artist’s intention? Delve into an interactive portrait exhibition to uncover the answers," says Art House Gallery Director Andrea McKenna.

There will be an Opening Reception on Saturday, April 6th, from 6:00pm to 8:00pm.

All exhibited works will be available for purchase at the Art House Gallery located at The Hendrix (345 Marin Boulevard) in Jersey City, New Jersey. Art House Gallery exhibitions are always free and open to the public. Large print versions of all literature related to our exhibitions and tactile, descriptive tours are available upon request. Gallery hours are every Saturday and Sunday from 1:00pm to 4:00pm. 

Art House Productions is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to the development and presentation of the performing and visual arts in Jersey City, NJ. Art House presents theater, performing and visual arts festivals, arts events, visual art exhibitions, and adult and youth art classes.

Leandro

Leandro Comrie: "A Quiet Odyssey"

What gives Leandro Comrie's "King" the right to rule? Is it his raiment, decorated with scores of curlicues of white and royal purple paint, signifying motion and activity and cinched savagely at the waist? Is it his arms, long enough to touch his ankles, formidable and thick, draped at his sides in a gesture of ease and preternatural balance? How about the magenta halo behind his head, bright and electric, suggestive of sanctification in some other world? Or could it be the face, with its crown of wavy hair, full lips and slanted white eyebrows, and lower jaw squared against all adversaries. He looks confident and ready. But the crimson dot he stands on and surveys is barely big enough to contain his boat-like shoes.
