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.

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: URL:https://www.alfaart.org/event/april-22-7pm-new-brunswick-art-salon-spring-2011/ LOCATION:Alfa Art Gallery\, 108 Church Street\, New Brunswick\, NJ\, 08901\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition Opening Reception,New Brunswick Art Salon ORGANIZER;CN="Galina Kourteva":MAILTO:galina@alfaart.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20110408T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20110408T220000 DTSTAMP:20240725T164542Z CREATED:20110319T203448Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240725T164542Z UID:615-1302291000-1302300000@www.alfaart.org SUMMARY:2011 - April 8 @ 7:30pm - LIVE Music Show w/ International Acts DESCRIPTION:Time : 7:30pm Cost: $6 All Ages Richard Lainhart/ PHASTI (Poland/Brooklyn) / Yan Jun (china) / blithe(doll) \n \nHati is coming in from Poland to perform with PAS.  Short story: We traveled to Poland last year to play Hati’s festival but it had been canceled due to the plane crash that happened around that time.  We still met with them\, and the museum there sponsored a recording session involving PAS and Hati.  Now Hati is coming to the states and we will play on April 8th as P.H.A.S.T.I.  (The CD is available on the net label\, Alrealon\, by the way)  Would be great if you could make it!  Also Yan Jun is on tour from China\, and will be on the bill\, as well as Richard Lainhart and blithe(doll)\, who killed at their last Alfa show. \n  \nAbout the Artists\nRichard Lainhart is an award-winning composer\, performer\, and filmmaker based in New York.

The CoCArt Festival was canceled but PAS still traveled to Poland. During this time they recorded 9 tracks\, and a wonderful friendship developed between PAS and Hati. Together they perform as P.H.A.S.T.I. \nHati is an audiovisual project based on sound of ethnic instruments from all over the world as well as hand-made instruments or found objects. HATI forms a link between a personal interest in modern improvised and acoustic music with ritual and meditation. Since 2003 HATI have performed many times in Poland\, Germany\, Spain\, Netherlands\, Belgium\, Ireland\, Northern Ireland\, England and France and on festivals\, e.g.: Equinox Festival (London\, 2009)\, Bleisound Festival (Monachium\, 2009)\, Wroclaw Industrial Festival (2005 & 2007)\, Audio Art (Krakow\, 2006)\, Ambient Festival (Gorlice\, 2008)\, Open’er Festival (Gdynia\, 2008)\, Festiwal w Krajobrazie (Inowlodz\, 2004-2007)\, Temple of Silence Festival (2007 & 2008). In 2006 members of HATI organized and performed 2 tours with Z’EV\, one of the founders of ‘industrial’ -the cultural movement. All HATI albums received very good reviews\, their unusual magic sound and power was emphasized. The band was founded in 2001 by Rafal Iwanski and Dariusz Wojtas. They formed many psychedelic rock and industrial experimental musical projects since the beginning of the 90’. Since 2007 HATI have performed as a duo: Rafal X-NAVI Iwanski and Rafal SABON Kolacki and occasionally with Dariusz Brzostek. They are also the organizers of CoCArt Music Festival (in cooperation with Centre of Contemporary Art in Torun). \nLive cooperation with (among others): Z’EV (+ full lenght album)\, John Zorn\, PURE (+ studio)\, Robert Curgenven (+ studio)\, WEREJU\, Phil Maggi\, Patrick Mcginley\, Maksims Shentelevs\, Andrzej Przybielski\, Marcelo Aguirre\, Maciej MAGURA Góralski\, Andrzej LAL Kasprzyk (+ full lenght album)\, KO-ON-TEN\, pathMAN\, MOLR DRAMMAZ\, Miroslaw Rajkowski\, MIRT\, Renoised\, Peter Puype\, Marek Styczynski (studio)\, Andrzej Wasilewski (video & audio)\, Raymond Salvatore Harmon (video)\, Jacek Zielinski (video)\, Slawomir Ciesielski (studio). \nPAS (Post Abortion Stress) started in 1995 out of Brooklyn\, NY\, USA\, driven by the creative talents of Robert L. Pepper working in the mediums of sound and video. Since then PAS has evolved into a collective with many different instrumentations and line ups. Permanent members include Amber Brien\, Jon “Vomit” Worthley\, Michael Durek\, and Will Seesar. Guests and occasional collaborators include\, ZEV!\, Hati\, Steve Beresford\, Thomthom Geigenschrey\, Matt Chilton (Vultures)\, Anthony Donovan (Vultures)\, Damien Olsen\, Philippe Petit\, Robert Pascale\, and many others. They have released 6 full length cd’s and have been on several compilations throughout the years. PAS have performed in various countries including the United States\, Germany (including Faust’s Avant Garde Festival 2009\, 2010)\, the Netherlands\, the United Kingdom\, Macedonia\, and Poland\, just to name a few. Sound and video installations have also included Chile and the United States (including the 18th Olympia Experimental Festival in Washington). Pepper also curates events in New York such as Experi-MENTAL nights and the Experi-MENTAL Festival once a year at Goodbye Blue Monday. \nPAS is a group out to create musical collages through the form of abstract sound. Their name refers metaphorically to those who have been aborted by society\, because their point of view doesn’t fit in the constraints of “normal” society. The short name refers to the negative in French\, metaphorically negating everything that is established to start from a new beginning. The compositions themselves are more akin to soundscapes than “songs” in the traditional sense. This is not music making with any sense of or desire for commercial viability\, but sonic sculptures in the mode of pure art.

This series of 45 paintings take place in an abstract world\, where each viewer gets lost\, wanders and\, eventually\, comes back to reality with his interpretation of what lies beyond the present. The fictitious world of Kourtev’s paintings is visually divided into two\, tangibly connecting what is seen by the eyes and the mind. His works also explore what lies beneath the surface. Kourtev imprints his canvases with powerful strokes that protrude\, hopeful hues and vague figures\, leaving the audience with the impression of the depth of the human experience and relationships. Kourtev’s message is relative and\, therefore\, a timeless memento\, unglued to any one time period. \n—Jewel Lim \nAbout Vesselin Kourtev\nVesselin Kourtev is the Founder\, Art Director and Resident Artist of the Alfa Art Gallery.

The Alfa Art Gallery is proud to present his exhibition “Three Years of Songs\,” blended from songs\, poems and visual art. This exhibition celebrates the compilation of works as a successful but endearing fight for creating something beautiful out of what most would see as mundane or common. Dalelio states that the things that tempt to distract him in his daily life become his content and\, in bringing them into an illustrative and abstract form\, he hopes to challenge them into being extraordinary.  Throughout the years\, Dalelio used a variety of materials\, including clothes\, rust and dirt\, ink and acrylic paint. In collaborating with his wife and children\, whether he was verbally recording them for a song or asking his toddler son to scribble the foundations of an image\, this exhibition wonderfully places art as an integral and binding part of a home.  Dalelio’s exhibition also serves as a tangible flow of changing day-to-day thoughts of individuals during the span of three years\, making it undeniably human in its presence.  It not only touchingly serves as a journal but confronts its audience as easy to relate to. \n  \nAbout the Artist\nDennis Dalelio received his BFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University and MFA from William Paterson University. For the past decade\, he has been teaching art\, ranging from photography to video\, at Paramus High School\, where he aims to introduce the idea of creating documentaries for social change to his students. In collaboration with others\, he has worked on photo projects that gave insight on topics ranging from homelessness to health care in Elizabeth and New Brunswick\, NJ. Since he married in 2005\, Dalelio’s work has concentrated on his life as a father\, responding to the economically\, socially\, and politically jarring world that still manages to hit his more rural lifestyle\, and a celebration of the joys and mess of life.  Currently\, he continues to work from his home studio and has recently participated in several group shows in Newark\, NJ.

The pieces\, varied in medium and subject matter\, are created with the intention to make the viewer ponder on the people who live in the spaces that she paints. Stylistically reminiscent of Matisse’s flattened figures and Van Gogh’s color schemes\, Friedland’s work emits a dream-like atmosphere while still being familiar and homey to the audience. Delightfully skewed and beautifully paradoxical with disagreeing perspectives in her work\, the viewer is forced to linger awhile and conclude that the spaces depicted are outside reality. \n  \nAbout the Artist\nKaren Eve Friedland received her degree in Journalism from New York University\, MBA from the New York Institute of Technology and studied Interior Design in Pratt Institute. Though she only occasionally works as a consultant of Interior Design\, Friedland adamantly keeps her life creative by teaching art and dedicates most of her time developing her work as artist. Friedland has won many awards and exhibited in New Jersey\, New York\, Washington\, Mississippi and Pennsylvania. \nClick here to learn more about Karen.

In their works\, Dean\, Morgan\, and Raskin use the shutter button to capture a moment for the sake of being able to continuously savor it without answering to time. Grounded in an atmosphere of calm\, the pieces exhibit a transcendentalist view. By compositionally placing figures as part of a larger scene\, the audience is inevitably left in a state of contemplation of their place in the larger\, unconquerable soul of nature. In a more individual rather than communal sense\, the photographs in this exhibition call attention to the quiet passion that the aesthetically-pleasing properties of nature can stir and instill in the human soul upon observation. These works are meant to provoke a closer observation on what is generally missed by the masses\, whether it is through a simple fault of overlooking the finer details of objects that exist in our everyday or the inability to imagine other moments happening simultaneously outside our own in other places. \n  \nAbout the Artists\nBrian Dean graduated from Bard College\, where he studied under distinguished photographers Stephen Shore\, Larry Fink\, and Tim Davis. He received the Eugene Atget Award in Photography\, presented to one student upon graduation by faculty.  Employed by Larry Fink as his Lab Manager\, Dean is skilled in producing high quality prints. Dean has exhibited in group exhibitions at the Morris Museum and the Hudson Opera House. Recently completed is his latest project “Camino de Santiago\,” a series of photographs taken on an eight hundred mile walk on a pilgrimage route through Northern Spain. \nDonald Morgan is the director of the Psychological Services Clinic at Rutgers Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology\, teaches and supervises in the doctoral programs\, and has a psychotherapy and biofeedback practice in Summit. He has studied traditional and digital photography at the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey and has several awards from juried exhibitions including Best in Show.  Morgan’s photographic vision is influenced by his study of yoga and the Buddhist dharma. \nIlya Raskin is a professor of biology of Rutgers University and President of the Global Institute of BioExploration (GIBEX). He works in many countries helping local communities to conserve biodiversity\, preserve traditional knowledge and improve health and quality of life. Early in his career\, he studied with the world’s leading nature photographers. Dr. Raskin’s photographs were published in numerous publications\, including Science\, Nature\, Wildlife Conservation\, Canadian Geographic\, and Natural History. All profits from the sale of Dr. Raskin’s photography are donated to GIBEX to support global conservation and sustainable utilization of natural resources.

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.
