Photorealism Opening Reception


Atlantic Highlands, NJ - Atlantic Artisans, an art gallery dedicated to local and American artisans, invites you to join them in a celebration of fine art and music. Saturday, June 9th for an opening reception - “Photorealism” - by new up and coming acrylic artist Liz Gembarski, from 6-8pm. Also enjoy the eclectic selection of music by local musicians Sherilyn and Frankie M.
Liz Gembarski is a recent graduate of Rowan University with a Bachelors of Fine Art. She resides in Leonardo and has been employed with Atlantic Artisans for the past 4 years. Liz was an aspiring artist dating back to her early childhood. As a child she diligently enjoyed paint by numbers which gave her the patience and structure she needed to feel confident as a painter. As she grew to a fine art painter, she developed a love and fascination with flawless technical skill and accuracy to construct the physical world on a two dimensional surface. You as the viewer will be impressed on how a petite painter can use her brush to construct such a magnitude of work that forces the viewer to be “within” a visual world that is beautiful. Whether it is a bowl of fruit or a sink full of dishes, her paintings present the subjects in a way that gives them significance. They have a particular beauty in the way light and shadows fall on an object; how reflective and transparent matter transmits and distorts the light and color around it. Atlantic Artisans invites you to experience this wonderful work of art.
Musical entertainment for the night is by Sherilyn and Frankie M a local duo also from Leonardo that have been performing together in many bars, restaurants and family parties since 2001. They offer a large spectrum of music and are sure to create a great night of entertainment.
Atlantic Artisans will also display art work in all styles, all mediums and not just wall art, from many other local artisans available on this spectacular night of Great Art and Great Music. So mark you calendars to come on down to 68 First Avenue, Atlantic Highlands, NJ, 732-291-0100,
http://www.atlanticartisans.com/, on June 9th 6-8pm. If you can not make the opening reception Liz Gembarski’s work will be on display until June 30th.
You wont want to miss it!
