Exhibits to Open at EOH

The Earlville Opera House opens three new exhibits on Saturday, Sept. 24, from 6 p.m. to 7:30pm,  to run through Nov. 5.  The new exhibitions include:

  • Painter Picks Painters an alumni artist exhibit featuring: Sarah McCoubrey, Gary Trento, and Steven Ginsburg, curated by Colgate Professor, Lynette Stephenson;
  • Fleeting Dreams, paintings by Chun Arthur Wang;
  • and Ink and Wax by regional artist Yolanda Sharpe.

Showing in the East Gallery, Painter Picks Painters is an alumni exhibition in honor of EOH’s 40th anniversary, featuring three CNY artists: Sarah McCoubrey, Gary Trento, and Steven Ginsburg. Colgate Professor, Lynette Stephenson chose the artists “because of the beautiful paintings that they create and their ability to present a fresh perspective of traditional subject matter. The three artists have very different approaches but complement each other very well.”

Wang’s oil paintings of China are shown in the West Gallery. The artist, who was born in China, says the works “reflect my personal recollection of rural life and traveling experience in the minority areas of China. Some of my works captured a brief moment from sensitive observation; others re-created poetized landscapes from fantasy that invoke my nostalgia or meditation."

In the Arts Cafe Gallery is Ink and Wax: Selections from Foliage & Still Life Drawing series and Urban Fragments Painting series. Sharpe, of Oneonta, constructs abstract images through re-invention and improvisation, by combining fragments with attention to geometry and color. 

The EOH galleries are open Tuesday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m and Saturday, noon tp 3 p.m.
