Art/Place Gallery Summer Break exhibition runs until July 23
Experience the artistry of Judith Lamberston and Lina Morielli at the “Summer Break” exhibition at Art/Place Gallery. Enjoy the paintings from June 26-July 23, 12-5 PM every day, and meet the artists at a reception on Sunday, July 16, 3-5 PM. Get a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process when the artists discuss their work at 4 PM. See it at 70 Sanford Street in Fairfield.
Judith Lambertson says, “The works in this show are studio paintings, and works in plein air. My paintings spring from the experience of location. I enjoy finding the forms and observing the play of light. Early morning or late afternoon are my favorite times to paint. In my studio the paintings may take on a new life. Now I slow down and struggle. However when it looks like I am close to feeling the work is resolved, I turn them to the wall. Some of the time when I look again it’s as if they finished themselves.”
Lina Morielli was born in Montreal, Canada and grew up in Darien, Connecticut. Her experience in art and design includes studies at Parsons School of Design and three decades in New York City designing and editing crafts for Woman’s Day and Family Circle magazines among others. This background in craft informs the tactile nature of her studio practice where, Morielli explains, the “immediacy of materials…help me access and express my ideas quickly.”
After twenty years living and working in New York City, she moved to Stamford, Connecticut in 1987 where she is an active member of that city’s creative community. President of Stamford’s Loft Artists Association for three years and a board member on approximately one-dozen Stamford nonprofits over the last four decades, Morielli has enriched the city’s cultural and educational landscape. In addition to her nonprofit contributions, Morielli has taught at after-school and summer art programs, including classes at Stamford’s I Have a Dream Foundation and the Yerwood Center. She also has curated exhibitions in the area, including fifteen years of exhibitions in Stamford’s Mayor’s Gallery.
Morielli’s work has been exhibited widely in Fairfield County, Connecticut and also throughout Westchester County, NY. Her work has also has been featured in solo exhibitions in New York and Los Angeles. Her paintings and mixed media art is in over one-hundred private collections and has been permanently exhibited in public spaces as part of the Connecticut One Percent for Art Collection as well as at area hospitals universities, and public buildings.
Lina says, “I am interested in the subconscious, memories that resurface, trauma that lingers and most importantly time as we live and work in the present and how the external forces of world events determine and influence creativity. I am referencing fifty years of art experience as well as life experiences using a compilation of markings and symbols that have become my personal language. These take the form of the materials I use and evolve as I work, dependent upon the news of the day, how I’m feeling at the moment, whether the sun is shining or if I’m sitting at a desk or in a studio.”
