"At base, when I am doing observational painting, I would say that I hope to communicate the visual excitement of the world in the way colors harmonize, and how forms fit together. Light, however, transforms what we see in simple observation, and brings us to a transcendent, otherworldly feeling that I would call Beauty. That magic is what I hope to transmit to a viewer. Because I am not a realist, that capture occurs within a structure of visible brushwork, somewhat expanded color description, and strong design. Altogether, for me, that feels like a metaphor for the Universe. The image and the ex*****on, together, bring the viewer to a heightened state. I will lift a little from art history and call it The Sublime."

Gallery Opening: Paul Mordetsky is Moving to Miami opens tomorrow from 5-7pm. We hope to see you there!

“Summer should be a season of opportunity, not a season of loss. It’s a time for exploration and joy, yet many young people in our region face significant barriers to the activities and support they need to flourish,” said Nelida Valentin, Community Foundation Vice President of Grants, Programs and Community Relations. “The absence of school can mean a loss of access to steady meals, academic growth, and the mentorship of caring adults. By investing $500,000 in these vital summer initiatives, the Community Foundation is ensuring that every child, regardless of their zip code or financial circumstances, has a safe place to learn, grow, and simply enjoy being a kid. We are honored to support our grantee partners as they create these essential lifelines for our youth.”

Thank you Princeton Area Community Foundation! We are so excited to expand access to the arts for kids in our community through your support.
