Surreal landscapes full of pigmented intrigue will populate the Rehoboth Art League’s Tubbs Gallery during the showing of “Into the Light: Works by Sean McCusker” from April 4 to May 4. The spherical subjects of McCusker’s paintings, although abstract, are reminiscent of the lone hero from films; confidently standing against the world yet yearning for the security of a home just over the horizon. The landscapes he creates are abstract constructs — a stage, rather than representations of a specific place. Like the masked actors in a Greek drama, the characters and objects in his work are emotional archetypes. The meanings and actions of each hero change from painting to painting, and it is left to the viewer, if they so choose, to imagine themselves sitting with the figure, determining what situation it finds itself in.
On the evening of April 4th from 5-7 pm, the art league will host an opening reception for its exhibitions, inviting anyone interested to visit the Corkran, Tubbs, and Ventures galleries to see these new shows.
