This June, I'm teaming up with Jane Adriance for our first joint exhibition, "Beyond Boundaries". The show will feature Jane's abstracted realities alongside my landscape-inspired realities. I think our paintings both complement and contrast with each other nicely.

"Evening Embers"
oil on canvas, 8 x 24"

Jane creates semi-abstract oils where reality and imagination seamlessly intertwine. I continue to focus on nature's quiet, less traveled places, and in this show, I include several skyscapes and river scenes - two motifs that I revisit often.

"Winter at Eagle Lake"
oil on linen on board, 6 x 16"

 

Beatrice is an award winning watercolorist and wildlife artist with a particular interest in birds.

As for myself, I continue to paint landscapes inspired by the forests and parks that I love exploring. Bodies of water are always fascinating, whether a raging river or a calm lake - they're a great source of inspiration, but oh what a challenge to paint.

I'm still spending a lot of time in the woods, and that's where all my inspiration comes from these days. Half of the paintings that I have in this show are scenes very close to my home on the Sourland Mountain, the rest are a bit further north in the mountains of north Jersey.

On a personal note, I've recently joined the board of trustees at the Sourland Conservancy, where I'll be working to help preserve the unique character of this area.

In Our Nature - October at Artists' Gallery in Lambertville NJ

Oct 8 - Nov 1, 2020

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.

Quietude - November at Artists' Gallery in Lambertville, NJ

"Quietude"

a 2-man show with Joe Kazimierczyk and Joseph Zogorski

Nov 7 - Dec 1, 2019

Opening Reception: Saturday, Nov 9, 4-7 pm

top: "Musconetcong Morning" by Joe Kazimierczyk
bottom: "Summer Storm" by Joseph Zogorski

This November I'm teaming up with Joseph Zogorski for a 2-man at Artists' Gallery in Lambertville, NJ. Joe Zogorski is a photographer and I think his black and white nature photography works really well with my landscape paintings.

Joe Kazimierczyk
"Mirror Pool"
oil on board, 7x14

'Quietude' is defined as the state of peacefulness; stillness; tranquility. Joe and I both find our inspiration in the quiet and serenity of the world around us, and I think our work is the embodiment of quietude.

My inspiration continues to come primarily from the hikes I take as I explore the woodlands and mountains of north Jersey, and in this show I have a strong theme of rivers and streams. I never really plan a theme for my shows and I usually don't even realize that I have a theme until I step back and look at the new work I've done. This year I've definitely been fascinated by rivers and streams.

Joe Zogorski's nature photography focuses on the remaining rural countryside of Bucks County, PA and nearby parts of New Jersey. The lives of his ancestors and their stories of living in a community closely tied to the land help to inform his image making.

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 experience some quietude.

"Rocky Brook Cascade"
oil on board, 8x10

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 experience some quietude.

"Inspiring Places" - the art of Joe Kazimierczyk and Carol Sanzalone

"Inspiring Places"

a 2-person show with Joe Kazimierczyk and Carol Sanzalone

at Artists' Gallery in Lambertville, NJ 

August 4 - September 5, 2016

Opening Reception: Saturday, August 6, 4-7 pm

Closing Reception: Sunday, September 4, 3-6 pm

This August, I'm teaming up with Carol Sanzalone for our 2nd show together at Artists' Gallery. This is my big show for the year and I hope you can stop by to see it.

I've always considered painting to be a natural extension of my exploration of the countryside. In the past couple of years I've renewed my interest in hiking and getting a bit more remote. In this show, my Inspiring Places are scenes from these hiking trips. Locations include the Delaware Water Gap, other North Jersey parks, and a bit further afield in the Catskills and Adirondack Mountains.

"Upper Ausable Lake"

in the Adirondack Mountains
12x24" oil on canvas

Gone are the barns and country roads that I paint so often, they're replaced by mountains in this show. But I have to confess there will be a couple of paintings with roads, I guess I just can't help myself. I'm still painting with oils in a style of traditional realism, it's only the locale that's changed.

"Neversink Morning Mist"

in the Catskill Mountains
11x14" oil on canvas

Carol Sanzalone, my partner in this show, paints in watercolor and acrylic. With an interest in the graphic qualities of shadows and light, she takes a very creative approach to her subjects.

"Inspiring Places" runs August 4 through September 5, 2016 with an opening reception on Saturday, August 6, 4-7 pm at:

Artists' Gallery
18 Bridge Street
Lambertville, NJ
[map & directions]
Gallery hours: Thursday through Sunday 11am-6pm

 
We will also have a Closing Reception on the final Sunday of the show, September 4, from 3-6 pm
 
We hope you can join us!
