SUMMARY:2011 - May 13 @ 6:30pm - "Within the Spaces" - New Brunswick Art Salon\, Spring 2011 - Part II
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition duration: May 13 – June 2\, 2011Opening Reception: Friday\, May 13  @ 6:30-10:30pmCurator: Jewel LimMultidisciplinary Event: New World Order (Live Jazz Music) \n  \n \nAbout  Alfa’s New Brunswick Art Salon\nIn the 18th and 19th century\, Art Salons were the greatest annual or biannual art events in the Western world\, celebrating the farthest advances in academia and the arts. The Alfa Art Gallery\, in order to bridge talented and highly esteemed artists with the New Brunswick public\, holds its own Art Salon exhibitions biannually in the Spring and Fall. \n  \nAbout this Exhibition\nThis exhibition “Within the Spaces” features the works of Coleen Tyler\, Darren McManus\, Jian Chen\, Michael Bransfield and Sam Ralston.  The concept of this exhibition is to take note of the use of space in partnership with abstract figures and vibrant colors in order to capture the demands each work to be experienced and owned by looking. Tyler’s geometric paintings on wood are spatial illusions that “press and pull” abstract space\, using color\, lines and shapes to convey emotional states.  Similarly\, McManus’ works are geometric and painted on wood. Highly detailed and saturated in color\, his odd-shaped\, puzzle-like works of art contain unusual combinations of solid forms\, causing intrigue and need for reflection. Chen’s paintings\, on the other hand\, are more representational than the rest\, but\, nevertheless\, explore a surreal feel to the moment depicted by a thick and painterly use of his materials. Some of his works explore “the triple properties of a painting’s dimension: the space behind the pictorial plane\, the physical existence of the painting surface per se\, and the space in front of the pictorial surface\, where the viewers are embodied.”  Bransfield uses lines and color to create a layering effect that makes the paintings feel dense and loose at the same time. Upon closer observation\, the viewer may feel that they are witnessing the works from an aerial perspective\, creating depth into the canvas itself. Ralston creates single-colored\, ambiguous\, rounded figures in an equally ambiguous and loose space: his lighting suggests the space is not flat and his blurred backgrounds hint at depth. “Within the Spaces” is an exhibition that ties together five remarkable artists in which they will cause their audience to ponder from work to work what lies beneath\, above\, and beyond what is being observed. \n  \nAbout the Artists\nColeen Tyler received B.S. in Art Education from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania and her MFA in Ceramics from the Virginia Commonwealth University. Throughout her career\, Tyler taught as an art teacher in many institutions\, including Bridgewater-Raritan Middle School\, Rutgers Preparatory School and Washington Community School. Tyler has been published in several newspapers\, including the New York Times\, and has exhibited in many shows in Pennsylvania\, New Jersey and Virginia. \nDarren McMannus obtained his BFA in Drawing and Illustration from the Glasgow School of Art in Scotland\, BFA in Experimental Studio and Illustration from the Hartford Art School and his MFA in Painting from the Cranbrook Academy of Art. He has exhibited in many solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States and won many awards\, including a fellowship from the New Jersey Council State of the Arts\, from the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts and from the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation. \nJian Chen is an emerging artist from Rutgers University’s Mason Gross School of the Arts with an expected graduation date of 2012. He has actively participated in the art community within the university via exhibiting works in several Mason Gross Galleries shows.  Chen also has an M.D. from China\, where he originally is from. \nMichael Bransfield graduated with a B.A. in Humanities from Providence College. He later studied painting from the Massachusetts College of Art as well as at the New York Studio School of Drawing\, Painting and Sculpture. He was also awarded a fellowship to the Yale-Norfolk Summer School of Art.  Bransfield has exhibited in many exhibitions in New York and New Jersey.  He has also served as director of the Metuchen Gallery. \nSam Ralston started painting in his early 20’s. He attended classes at the DuCret Art School and later enrolled at Kean College with an intention of becoming an art teacher but changed his major to graphic design. Throughout his career\, he displayed his work in different venues and won a number of awards. He currently works as a graphic designer and paints in his spare time.

SUMMARY:2011 - April 22 @ 6:30pm - “The Double-Edged Search for the Truth & the Ideal” - New Brunswick Art Salon\, Spring 2011: Part I
DESCRIPTION:New Brunswick Art Salon\, Spring 2011: Part I\nExhibition duration: April 22 – May 12\, 2011 Opening Reception: Friday\, April 22  @ 6:30-10:30pm Curator: Jewel Lim Multiciplinary Event: The New World Order \nThe Alfa Art Gallery is proud to present “The Double-Edged Search for the Truth & the Ideal\,” the first of two spring exhibitions of the New Brunswick Art Salon 2011. \n  \nBest Artists of New Brunswick Art Salon’ 2010\nFirst Place: Wes ShermanSecond Place: Marsha GoldbergThird Place: Larry McKim \nAwards provided by New Brunswick City Market\, NJ. \n  \nAbout  Alfa’s New Brunswick Art Salon\nIn the 18th and 19th century\, Art Salons were the greatest annual or biannual art events in the Western world\, celebrating the farthest advances in academia and the arts. The Alfa Art Gallery\, in order to bridge talented and highly esteemed artists with the New Brunswick public\, holds its own Art Salon exhibitions biannually in the Spring and Fall. \n \nAbout this Exhibition\nThis exhibition “The Double-Edged Search for the Truth & the Ideal” features Carlos Frias\, Dara Alter\, Peter Arakawa and Rita Herzfeld\, four talented painters from different backgrounds.  True to its title\, this first part of the spring exhibitions for the New Brunswick Art Salon 2011 explores the individual’s search for the truth and the ideal in a larger community. The colors of the paintings in this collection are optimistic and vibrant; however\, each piece contains an underlying narrative of the struggle to attain knowledge or to illustrate a desire in the bigger scheme of Life. Dara Alter creates multi-perspective\, aerial landscapes without a fixed viewpoint as a response to her yearning for an ideal Israel. Peter Arakawa paints his works in only clusters of twos or threes in an attempt to avoid repetition: his works\, created from observations of daily life\, serve as voyages\, combining patterns and shapes that are unlikely together\, in search for an order that fits. In his paintings\, Carlos Frias\, with his intriguing Kandinsky-like palette\, attempts to analyze and capture the essence of human beings as organic and spiritual forms with their ability to grow and self-destruct. Rita Herzfeld\, acting and reacting in a cycle to each step in her creative process\, attacks her canvases with ardent\, moving paint strokes to actively demonstrate the gap and interactions between instinct\, ideas\, self-exploration and\, ultimately\, truth in a stilled image. \n  \nAbout the Artists\nCarlos Frias received his BFA in Painting from the Parsons School of Design. His recent works aims to highlight our humanity \, creativity\, relationships and  urges to grow and self-destruct while\, at the same time\, strip us of our spirituality and culture\, representing humans as organic forms bound to decompose and regenerate. Additionally\, his work visually demonstrates the parallel between what art is able to represent of the evolution of humankind and how much we want to preserve and manipulate art to represent the history of our species. He has exhibited in Japan\, the Dominican Republic\, Spain\, and the United States. \n  \nDara Alter obtained her degree in Studio Art from the University of Guelph.  Heavily influenced by her cultural ties\, she paints her memories of Israel in order to examine the North American Jewish nostalgia for an idealized nation.  In the last five years\, she travelled to South America\, North America\, Asia\, and the Middle East\, which additionally influenced her works. Alter is most interested exploring location and place as it relates to her personal experiences and uses a specific palette that corresponds to the scenery in a particular region. She has exhibited in Minnesota\, New York and New Jersey in the United States as well as in Toronto\, Ontario in Canada. \n  \nPeter Arakawa obtained his MFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. He became an artist through the influences of creative family members.  Arakawa has been a professional artist for over twenty-five years. His works are held in many institutions and museums\, including the Zimmerli Art Museum\, Newark Public Library\, Jersey City Museum\, the State Museum\, Hunterdon Art Museum and Johnson & Johnson Corporation. \n  \nRita Herzfeld attended the School of Visual Arts and City College of N.Y. and obtained her BA from Rutgers University.  Inspired by her artistic mother\, Herzfeld became an artist who grew up believing in the power that comes with creation and its processes from simple tools such as pencil and paper. Her works are held in the Hurterdon Museum of Art\, the Zimmerli Art Museum and various private collections. \n  \n  \n \n  \nThis program is sponsored in part by:

SUMMARY:2010 - Dec 3 @ 6:30pm - “Aftershock: Lines and Vibrations” - New Brunswick Art Salon\, Winter 2010
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition duration: December 3 – 23\, 2010 Opening Reception: Friday\, December 3 @ 6:30-10:30pm Curator: Jewel Lim LIVE Music: Estrada Branca \n \nThe Alfa Art Gallery is proud to present the second New Brunswick Art Salon Exhibition of 2010\, featuring the works of Alexandra Pacula\, Jen Mazza\, and Marsha Goldberg. Continuing the tradition of providing the New Brunswick community with talented artists\, the New Brunswick Art Salon ties together three brilliantly creative individuals in an explosion of highs for the viewer. \n  \nAbout the Exhibition\nIn the 18th and 19th century\, Art Salons were the greatest annual or biannual art events in the Western world\, celebrating the farthest advances in academia and the arts. The Alfa Art Gallery\, in order to bridge talented and highly esteemed artists with the New Brunswick public\, holds its own Art Salon exhibition biannually in the Spring and Fall/Winter. As the second of 2010\, this New Brunswick Art Salon exhibition “Aftershock: Lines and Vibrations” closes Alfa’s successful year of promoting the arts. \nThe title of this exhibition “Aftershock: Lines and Vibrations” implies consequence in viewing the works of our three stylistically different artists. Though the works of Alexandra Pacula\, Jen Mazza\, and Marsha Goldberg emerge from different intentions. Their intense marks share a common ground in resonating lingering messages or sentiments into the viewers. Pacula’s work\, containing blurred scenery simplified into humming lines\, drugs the audience into becoming part of a night scene that references to excitement\, opportunities\, seduction\, and anxiety. Mazza’s work\, containing colorful explosions in an otherwise muted image\, trembles with an aftertaste of alarm. Goldberg\, with her untamed lines\, brings a slow realization of an intangible and ineffable feeling. The debut of these three artists at the Alfa Art Gallery will be nothing less than an earthquake! \n  \nAbout the Artists\nAlexandra Pacula earned her BFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University and her MFA from Montclair State University. Originally from Poland\, she migrated to the United States at the age of fourteen and currently works in a studio in Brooklyn. She has successfully exhibited in the United States\, as well as Spain and London. Pacula is also an award recipient of the Robert Sterling Clark Visual Space Award and a Fellow in Painting from the New York Foundation for the Arts. \nThe works of Alexandra Pacula can be best described as an intoxication of gracefully vibrating lines of urban nightlife. Unsettling yet captivating\, her works force viewers to experience the projection of human interactions\, seductions\, and desires on the canvas. Powered by the illusion of speed and the feeling of inebriation\, Pacula molds the state of mind of audiences as they witness the dissolved shapes and blurred streaks. \nJen Mazza received her BA from Mary Washington College and her MFA from the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. She has exhibited throughout New York and New Jersey. Her most recent paintings were displayed in the one person exhibition “Self Deceit” at the Jersey City Museum and in a solo project at the Aljira Center for Contemporary Art. Mazza has received two Individual Artist Fellowships from the New Jersey State Council of the Arts and praise from the NY Times and the Star Ledger. \nDeeply moved by the destruction wrought by bombings\, the creations of Jen Mazza were made in response to the conflict between Israel and Lebanon. Choosing to use images of idyllic American landscape\, Mazza used the color of water-based mediums on black and white to exemplify the shock is closer to home than one would think. Small in sizes\, the pieces become intimate\, up close\, and personal. \nMarsha Goldberg obtained her BFA from Boston University’s School of Fine Arts and her MFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. She has exhibited in several galleries and institutions\, including the DeCordova Museum\, the Boston Public Library\, and the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University. Goldberg was also a founding member of the Brickbottom Artists Building in Somerville\, MA\, one of the country’s largest artists-owned studio buildings. \nThe artworks of Marsha Goldberg strike their audience with intrigue upon first impression. With careful attention to the marks\, the viewer receives a range of sensations equal to the slightly frenzied but eloquent nature of the lines. According to Goldberg\, in their resemblance to text\, these marks are comparable to what a traveler in a foreign country may see in the language\, only understanding it as a decorative line or picture. Beautifully simple yet poignant\, her calligraphic lines are created with an attitude of free association\, often in response to music.
