Kate Knapp: “Recent Works” February 3 – February 26, 2023. Reception for the artist: Saturday, February 11 2-6 p.m. Hours: Fri., Sat., 12-6, Sun., 12-5. Recent paintings by Kate Knapp, founder and artistic director of the gallery since 2010. Color, light and love are three of the main ingredients in these new paintings by Kate Knapp. Each canvas tells a story about the visual world Knapp experiences and the feelings she has about the subject matter. They are representational studies of the landscapes, still lives and portraits all created in the impressionistic style. This is done when Knapp loads her brush with oil paint in lush colors to express the effect of light on the subject she sees before her. The paintings bring us to a new awareness of the beauty in the world around us. Wild rushing river rapids, brilliant red boiled lobster with wine and lemon surrounded by multi patterned fabrics, flower bouquets bursting with harmonious color notes that touch the heart are a few of the paintings included in this show. Also on view are recent self portraits of this 71 year old artist who has spent her life painting. In her work she still asks, “Who am I and how do I feel it?” The answers are in the paintings and the viewer will experience the immense richness of the beauty that abounds. The works of Ian Clyde, Jane Craker, Lionel Delevingne, Janene Gentile, Trevor Hunter, Stephan Marc Klein, John Lipkowitz, Nina Lipkowitz, Hannah Mandel, Paul Nueckel, Anna Oliver, Marilyn Orner, Peggy Reeves, Ken Sahr, Doris Simon and H. David Stein will also be on view.
