Reynolds Fine Art is pleased to present    Horizons: New Work by  Robert Reynolds

Opening Reception: Friday,May 3, 5-8pm Reynolds Fine Art is pleased to present new work by gallery owner and namesake, Robert Reynolds.  Stemming from numerous visits to the Netherlands, Reynolds new body of oil paintings and monoprints boasts vivid Dutch landscapes as its subject. The unique, tabletop flatness of this region sparked the artist's curiosity when he noticed a recurring, and often over looked, feature that was unavoidable in each vista: the horizon. Thus, Reynolds was prompted to investigate the idea of the horizon in history and how we experience it everyday, whether we realize it or not. Questions such as if this line acts as a joiner or a divider between heaven and earth motivated the artist and come through each work to evoke feelings of longing and wonder in the viewer. These works challenge the mundane concept of a horizon line to become a desire to know the unknowable and mystery of the distance.     This opening event will coincide with On9, a collaborative open-house evening the first Friday of every month in a neighborhood famous for innovative art, food, music and experiences, New Haven's Historic 9th Square.     www.reynoldsfineart.com  96 Orange Street, New Haven, Connecticut 06510 Phone (203) 498-2200  info@reynoldsfineart.com

Her neighborhood was full of children with whom she played games, sponsored fund-raising circuses and plays, and from whom she learned a lot about life in other families.

Kelly Birkenruth, the winner of the Best of Show award in the West Hartford Art Leagues 2013 CT+6 exhibit, didn't always want to be an artist. Birkenruth earned a degree in business from Penn State and moved to Los Angeles after college where she modeled and was sent on assignments in exotic locations such as Japan and Europe. She credits the museums in Paris with piquing her interest in painting, so when she returned to California she enrolled at the Otis Art Institute where she took foundation and anatomy classes. She then studied under LA artist Lance Richlin in his Atelier Program where she honed her skills over a period of two years.    You can view Kelly's award winning piece, Duality, above,along with 103 other works of art juried into the sixth annual CT+6 exhibit, in the West Hartford Art League's two galleries at37 Buena Vista Road in West Hartford.   Gallery hours are Thursday - Sunday from 1-4 p.m. www.westhartfordart.org CT+6 is on exhibit in both galleries through May 19th.

For this project each canvas was exchanged multiple times between the artist's studios as they were gradually worked toward completion. Successive steps of addition, erasure and thematic reinterpretation resulted in works that blend and expanded on the works that Cook and Jacquet make as individual artists. Figurative, animal, and graphic imagery were derived from a broad range of influences. Film, literature,... photography, comics and musical content initiated and further directed each stage of image transformation.
