Steve Sharon: Winter Relief<\/h2>\n

December 2017-February 2018<\/h3>\n

VCAM-RETN<\/p>\n

For “Winter Relief”, Steve Sharon has chosen some paintings that, when finished, he thought were just the exact colors that he would like to have around him during the long winter months that we experience in Vermont, since so much of the day is covered by shades of grey, black, white and brown. He often found that he needed bright colors to help him deal with his own psyche of seeing those winter colors on a daily basis. The effects of cabin fever are feelings that we are all aware of. What he hopes to do with this show is give everyone a break from those winter colors and soak in the healing and therapeutic visuals that he has included in these paintings.<\/p>\n

VCAM–Robert Waldo Brunelle, Jr.<\/h2>\n

April-May 2017<\/h3>\n

Just as Monet painted the same haystacks over and over again, in different lights and seasons, Robert Waldo Brunelle, Jr. painted the old concrete bridge connecting Burlington and Winooski. Brunelle was interested in how different times of day and weather conditions affected the light and mood of this common scene. Thousands of travelers pass over this aged bridge daily, but few bother to actually see it as he does. Robert Waldo Brunelle, Jr. is a Vermont painter, kinetic sculptor, book illustrator, art educator and political cartoonist. He has been exhibiting artwork in the region since 1980. His cartoon strip Mr. Brunelle Explains It All<\/em> appears weekly in Seven Days<\/em>. (image: Winooski Bridge #19<\/em> by Robert Waldo Brunelle, Jr. (acrylic on canvas; 2015))<\/p>\n

VCAM & RETN Hallways–Steve Sharon<\/h2>\n

April-May 2017<\/h3>\n

Steve Sharon uses a deep and heavy process of a paint method that he stumbled upon through chance and the artistic mind that comes with not having been schooled by art teachers. The process he is showcasing is to get a full-on abstract visual of what certain colors look like when they come up from under a surface of complimentary moods and tones. The Abstract Expressionist in him wants the viewer to look upon the painting and come to their own conclusion as to what they see. As in all of us, we carry emotions which nurture a deep sense of reality inside our being, so what one person sees inside an abstract painting; another may see something completely different. It\u2019s his goal to have his paintings be looked at for more than one to two minutes, the longer one gets lost inside a painting, the stronger that communication becomes apparent, strengthened and understood between the artist and the viewer.

RETN–Stephen Beattie<\/h2>\n

April-May 2017<\/h3>\n
