A special feature of European paintings by Stan Moeller of York, Maine opens at Sylvan Gallery on Thursday, July 28, and the special feature continues through August 28. In conjunction, the gallery will also be displaying the work of their regular roster of seventeen fine artists.
In his newest body of work, Moeller evokes memories of travels abroad, and there is an immediacy to his paintings. While his paintings demonstrate the hand and decision making process of an experienced plein air painter, Moeller goes beyond the mere illustration of a scene and joins painterly expertise with a poetic sensibility which has much to do with the extraordinary impact of his paintings. In his painting, “(15:10) Paris Time, Musée d’Orsay,” we are treated to an interior view of the clock tower in the Musée d’Orsay. The dramatic cropping of the face of the large clock is juxtaposed with the silhouette of a chicly dressed woman who gazes out onto the Paris landscape – shimmering in turquoise, ochre and violet hues.
A selection of work by the gallery’s other contemporary artists will also be on display, including Peter Layne Arguimbau, Al Barker, Joann Ballinger, Angelo Franco, Nina Fuller, Susannah Haney, Neal Hughes, Charles Kolnik, Greg Laderer, Heather Gibson-Lusk, Robert Noreika, Crista Pisano, Ann Scanlan, Morgan Starr, Laura Winslow and Shirley Cean Youngs.
For more information, call Ann Scanlan at 882-8290 or go to www.sylvangallery.com. The gallery is open every day from 10:30 a.m to 5:30 p.m. at 49 Water St., Wiscasset, on the corner of Main Street (Route 1) and Water Street, next to Red’s Eats.
