A New Insight exhibition continues at Gallery One

Gallery One announced its newest exhibition, A New Insight, is open to the public through Saturday, Sept. 28, at at 32 Atlantic Ave., Ocean View.

This month, the artists are sharing moments of insight that changed a mindset, world view, feelings or behavior for themselves or others.

Regarding her “Gulick Series #1,” Laurie Fields said, “I had access to items being discarded from a builders’ design center. Using a cabinet door skeleton as a substrate, I assembled items not usually used in artwork, giving them a new perspective and context.”

Cindy Beyer challenged herself to create a more realistic and emotional ocean painting in "Not So Smooth Sailing.” “I have been having fun painting with flexible modeling paste. Because of the consistency, I'm able to build the waves to be very dimensional,” she said.

In “Summer Colors,” Dale Sheldon experimented to up the volume beyond using just traditional complementary shades of color. "Complementary colors always create attention. Trying a different approach in this painting, I have used violet, the complement of yellow, along with blue, the complement of orange, to make sure the painting sings,” she said.

“Storm Over the Water” artist Cheryl Wisbrock said, “I enjoy painting the marsh and open waters of our region, typically in peaceful, somewhat gentle settings. This painting embraced the other times on our waters. I switched to a bold, energetic sky painted in a limited palette of stormy darks, and included rain on the horizon to emphasize the rough weather. This was a departure for me and offers insight into the various moods of our waters.”

In “Gull Huddle,” Lesley McCaskill restricted her palette and chose to concentrate on shapes, both positive and negative, within the rectangle. In this way, she gained insight into the close-knit relationship of the gulls.

For Laura Hickman, the Quartiere Coppede provided the opportunity for insight in “The Fairy Villa.” One of Rome's best-kept secrets and an unexpected inspiration, the villa is part of a neighborhood designed by Gino Coppede. It is an architecture lover's dream as it combines art nouveau with medieval, Renaissance, baroque and art deco characteristics.

Joyce Condry’s temporary abode next door to a beekeeper brought her insight into the remarkable life of honeybees, resulting in her acrylic, “Bee at Work.”

Gallery One is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day. For more information, go to galleryonede.com.
