Table, People, Things
An exhibit of paintings by up-and-coming Cleveland artist Harris Johnson. The exhibit opened with a reception from 7 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, April 12, and ran through May 21, 2012 (extended from May 15). Inspired by cartoons and popular culture, Johnson draws upon caricature, portraiture and still-life techniques, coupled with images from art history and his own experiences as a painter, to investigate and satirize the world of the working artist. Johnson’s work chronicles his internal dialog with a contemporary artistic practice. Surprising in its candor and employing black humor, the paintings jolt the viewer out of complacency and provoke questions pertaining to the role of art in contemporary society. |

Originally slated to run through February 29, it was extended through March 30, 2012 due to its popularity.

An Alchemist’s Light: Photographic Images by Ben HauserAn exhibit of color darkroom experiments by photographer Ben Hauser held from Dec. 1 to Dec. 21. The exhibit opened with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 1, 2011. For Hauser, the darkroom process is a means of creating an image rather than a series of steps by which one develops a traditional photograph. The pieces in this recent body of work with their delicate swirls of color resemble glimpses of the cosmos and possess the qualities of an abstract painting. |
Magia dell’acqua: Marvels by the Water
A showing of photographs by Marcello Mellino, held from Sept. 15 to Oct. 29, 2011. The exhibit opened with a reception on Thursday, Sept. 15, at 6 p.m. The exhibit highlighted natural light and weather to capture the mood and the essence of the landscape. The images on display came from various cities, countries and seasons. However, all shared the magical beauty of water, which holds a special fascination for Mellino. It is the mutable essence of life, with ever-changing colors, moods and appeal, he says. It reflects its natural surroundings as well as being a part of nature itself. |
Painting With ThreadA showing of embroidered works by Eugenia Vainberg from June 16 to Sep. 2, 2011. An opening reception was held on Thursday, June 16, from 5 to 7 p.m. Vainberg uses thousands of tiny silk stitches to reproduce famous works of art. The delicacy of the stitchery creates a fluidity that makes the pieces almost seem like actual drawings or paintings. Her subject matter is varied. She is attracted to the “minimal realism” of Cincinnati graphic artist Charley Harper and has reproduced many of his whimsical wildlife prints, as well as works of Paul Klee, Picasso, Matisse, Mondrian and many others. |
Little Prints and PrincessesA solo exhibit by internationally-known, award-winning photographer Janet Century. The exhibit covered over 25 years of photographing children worldwide. The show ran from April 28 through May 31, 2011, with an opening reception on Thursday, April 28th from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. |

Pinkney The Clara Fritzsche Library will host “Alla Prima: Classic Paintings,” an exhibit of landscapes, still lives and portraiture by Charles J. Pinkney. Alla prima, also known as direct painting, is a style of painting where, instead of building colors up with layers, the painting is done in one session while the paint is still wet. The term comes from the Italian phrase meaning “at the first” or “all at once.” The works are oils on linen and the bright colors and lush greenery present in the paintings are, in the words of the artist, “a reflection of how welcome spring is this year.” Dates: June 7 through August 3, 2007 Library Hours: Monday-Tuesday 9 a.m.-8 p.m.; Wednesday-Friday 9 a.m.-5 p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m.-2 p.m.; Sunday CLOSED; (CLOSED July 4th) Opening Reception: Thursday, June 7th from 5 to 7 p.m. with refreshments and music by Alice Seifullah.

 The Clara Fritzsche Library Presents: Northcoast Impressions: works created in the “open air” around Cleveland by Plein Air Painters, ClevelandJuly 7th through August 31st, 2005 Opening reception will be held on Thursday, July 7th from 7 to 9 p.m. Through the months of May and June this group of artists visited the scenic Notre Dame campus to capture images of the grounds and buildings on canvas. These works plus other scenes of the Greater Cleveland area will be included in the exhibit, which will be part of South Euclid Fun Day, an opportunity for people to explore various institutions in the City of South Euclid scheduled to take place on Saturday, July 30th. Plein Air Painters, Cleveland was formed in 2003 by Alix Hallman Travis to celebrate painting on site from life with others who share that challenge and enthusiasm.

The French Impressionists often worked outdoors and there are similarities in subject matter and technique. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, July 7th from 7 to 9 p.m. The event is free and refreshments will be served. Call for summer hours.

The Clara Fritzsche Library Presents: From the Ancient Center Mandala Drawings and Metal Sculptures by Christine Siarka April 7th through May 27th 2005 Opening reception: Thursday, April 7, 7-9 pm. Music by Still Inertia with Mike Williams and Amanda North. Refreshments will be served. All are welcome! Gallery talk: 7:30 pm. The artist will lead visitors through a walking meditation while completing a sculpture installation by adding rings of river stones or metal discs. Siarka’s current work with mandalas in drawings and metal sculpture was inspired by a desire to combine her practice of meditation with the line and shape found through walks in Ohio ’s natural spaces. The three-dimensional mandalas consist of stone in the form of found objects and metal. The metals are manipulated in color through combinations of patinas. The form and texture of the metal is altered to balance the rock’s natural shape, surface and color. Select this link for press release with more information. |
