Green Architecture (verdant like me): Recent work of James R. Burton
More than 45 architectural models which, in conjunction with drawings and
photographs, propose a new interpretation of the term "green architecture."
Burton's work makes clear that drawings and models do not exist simply to
represent another (more real) reality that is to be found elsewhere, but are
full-fledged works (artifacts) in their own right and are a part of a continuum
of thought which may or may not include the buildings which they describe in
some way. James Burton obtained his Bachelor of Architecture from Virginia Tech
in 1986 and has studied at MIT and Penn State. He lives and works in Princeton,
New Jersey.
Mel Leipzig: Portrait of a College
Mel Leipzig is a realist painter who paints both his highly detailed models and
their environments directly from life, often with unusual perspectives.
"Portrait of a College" features recent paintings featuring faculty, staff and
students of Mercer County Community College. Leipzig studied painting at Cooper
Union, Yale University, and Pratt Institute, where he received his MFA. His work
appears in the collections of museums, including the Whitney Museum of American
Art, Cooper Hewitt Museum, and the New Jersey State Museum. He is represented by
Gallery Henochi in New York City.
Trenton Visionaries: The Work of Trenton's A-Team
Visionary Art is defined as art produced by self-taught individuals, usually
without formal training, whose works arise from an innate personal vision that
is expressed in the creative act itself. Visionary art is "outsider" art because
the raw and often idiosyncratic works do not typically fall within the bounds of
fine or contemporary art. The exhibition features artwork from 21 artists from
the A-TEAM of Trenton, the artists' cooperative based at the Trenton Area Soup
Kitchen. The artists work in a wide variety of media, including paint, pencil
and ink, pastel, collage, photography and found object construction. Many of
these artists illustrate their artistic vision and spiritual journeys, share
memories of family and home or document social and political issues.
