CRANBURY — A New York artist will be on display at the Gourgaud Gallery from Aug. 4-25, according to a press release.
The Gallery will hold a reception from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday to honor artist Arthur D. Anderson, according to the release.
”I’m fortunate to have a venue such as the Gourgaud in Cranbury presenting my work,” Mr. Anderson said.
According to the release, Arthur studied acrylic painting and portraiture at the Art Students League of New York, as well as watercolor with Edgar Whitney and Betty Lou Schlemm.
The gallery will be open Monday through Friday during the hours of 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. as well as the first, third, and last Sunday of the month from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., the release stated.
”My one-man show will cover three exhibits: Traditional ‘English-style’ (transparent) watercolor; a showcase of representational and figurative acrylic paintings; and an abstract/conceptual exhibit I call ‘The Subjectivity of Time,’” Mr. Anderson said.
”’The Subjectivity of Time’” series deals with how people perceive time and how they filter time through their emotions and life situations, said Mr. Anderson, “The clock is not always the best measure of time, and is — indeed — often totally unreliable.”
Mr. Anderson comes from a long family tradition of fine artists dating back a century, according to the release.
He said his family tradition in art began with his maternal grandfather Alan Silverman, who studied at Cooper Union, eventually becoming a prominent sculptor and oil painter, and was part of the New Deal’s WPA Program, the release stated.
Mr. Anderson lives in Oceanside, New York with his wife, Rochelle, according to the release.
The artwork featured in the exhibit is for sale with 20 percent of each sale going to support the Cranbury Arts Council and its programs, according to the release.
Cash or a check made out to the Cranbury Arts Council is accepted as payment.
