"Fresco," Silvius Krecu,
acrylic and pastel on panel.
KENT, CONN. - The Bachelier-Cardonsky Gallery has opened a new
exhibition featuring three painters: Joe Goodwin, Silvius Krecu
and Leigh Palmer.
All three bridge the past and present, not only in subject
matter, but also in technique. Among the highlights are Goodwin's
"Aegean Rumination," acrylic on canvas, 48 by 47 inches; Krecu's
"Fresco," acrylic and pastel on panel, 16 by 18 inches; and
Palmer's "Untitled #10," encaustic on canvas, 28 by 30 inches.
Goodwin's paintings are reflections on places he has been. These
are abstract works, rooted in specific sites (Mexico, Turkey,
Cypress, etc), that evoke strong physical sensations. Following
his studies, Goodwin lived in New York City for 15 years and now
resides in Massachusetts. He has shown extensively in Europe,
Asia, and the United States since 1983, with works in many
collections.
Krecu, originally from Yugoslavia, moved to the United States in
1973. He studied in Chicago, Spain, France and Germany, and now
lives in Florida. His works are Italianate in style.
Palmer's affinity to the artists of the Hudson River School is
natural, as his environment is that in upstate New York. Most of
his works are done in encaustic, a technique practiced by Greek
artists in Fifth Century BC. A graduate of RISD, Palmer has had
numerous shows since 1983 and is in many collections.
The exhibition will run through June 29. The
Bachelier-Cardonsky Gallery is on Main Street. For information,
