It's been a strange year, but things are returning to normal in Lambertville and Artists' Gallery has resumed it's normal show schedule. This October I am once again showing with acclaimed watercolorist Beatrice Bork in a show entitled "In Our Nature".

Joe Kazimierczyk
"Ken Lockwood Gorge"
oil on canvas, 12 x 24"


In this show, I continue my exploration of the parks of northern New Jersey - the mountains, rivers and forests have been providing endless inspiration for my artwork. Beatrice continues to be inspired by her animal subjects which she paints with such exquisite detail and sensitivity to composition. 

Joe Kazimierczyk
"Yggdrasil"
on Allamuchy Mountain
oil on canvas, 24 x 30"

Most of my painting titles are self-explanatory but this one needs a little explaining. This is one very impressive tree. It's trunk is marked with so many wrinkles and scars, it feels really ancient. I was reminded of some comments I heard about my earlier tree paintings, and someone had mentioned Yggdrasil - in Norse mythology, Yggdrasil is an immense mythical tree at the center of the cosmos where it connects the Nine Worlds. The gods visit Yggdrasil daily. This tree is Yggdrasil. I am sure of it. (What a strange year it's been).

This is the most work that I will have on display at any one time this year, so I hope you get a chance to stop by and see the show. Due to the pandemic, there is no opening reception, but otherwise the gallery is open it's normal hours. If you need to see the show outside of normal gallery hours, please let me know and we can arrange something.

Trail of Breadcrumbs: Nature in Fairytales

Trail of Breadcrumbs:
Nature in Fairytales

A group show celebrating nature in fairytales and the beauty of human imagination

running virtually through end of July, 2020
meet the artists online: Wednesday July 15, 5-6 pm

"Sycamore Lane"
oil on board, 11 x 14

It's been a quiet year for art news since so many art venues have been closed, and exhibitions canceled or rescheduled due to the pandemic.

I was very happy to be one of 4 artists included in this exhibit at D&R Greenway, but the state went into lock down the week that the show was hung. The end date was extended a few times in hope that the show could eventually open, but alas... it's the longest running show I've ever been in, but no one has been able to see it!

The Greenway has some of the exhibit online for a virtual viewing here:
Trail of Breadcrumbs: Nature in Fairytales

There will also be a Zoom session with the artists, moderated by Curator Diana Moore, taking place this Wednesday, July 15 from 5-6 pm. 
Sign-up and get instructions for this FREE Zoom event by emailing dkilmer@drgreenway.org

I'm sure we are all looking forward to normal times again, and I hope that everyone is doing well.
