The Anthony Giordano gallery houses a wide variety of art. Ranging from photography to Indian ink and graphite on mylar. Visitors are greeted by beautiful ceramics created by Patricia Hubbard-Ragette such as her piece Hercules using stoneware clay as soon as they enter the gallery. Also on the floor are sculptures by Pam Brown using primo sculpy for her pieces as well as wire, wood and sculpy on her piece titled Butterfly On Hip.
On the walls hang pictures using all kinds of medium. Immediately to your left are wonderful panoramic photographs taken by Hugo Fernandez. These photos were printed on canvases 36'' long and 60'' long. Both have interesting perspectives, adding a whole other element to the photos. The fisheye effect used in Ashley with Fireman in Front of House gives a real feeling of flowing water, which is the content of the picture. His other panoramic shot, Ashley in the Picture Window, also has an interesting perspective of the windows jutting out.
Continuing around the gallery, Elise Kaufman piece titled Days Cottages, Closed uses India ink and graphite to draw a beautiful black and white portrait of two houses. Herbert Reichert, another photographer presented Sunflower a using a gelatin silver print.
On the back wall hangs two oil paintings on large canvas created by Jason Mones. Keystone Cops and The Spring of Revolt are his works that have beautiful composition.
On the right side wall hangs beautiful works, a lot of them using peacock feathers. The wall starts with Jennifer Formica's work of chromogenic color prints. These prints are bursting with colors of butterflies, peacock feathers and flowers. Her use of the color yellow really helps to balance out these photographs and she does a great job with composition.
Further down the wall visitors will come across the work of Stephen Lamia and Linda Prentiss. Fugue in Purple & Green done with monotype and Chine colle is a great 15'' x 15'' piece that really catches the eye. Stephen Lamia contributes more peacock feather works with The Eyes of Argos (Waning). These works exhibit excellent use of color and space. And finally, upon exiting the exhibit hangs Linda Prentiss' huge 36'' x 24'' project using mixed media on paper. The piece is titled Shaman's Spirit Dwelling and is very dark but exhibits a great use of color.
This is an excellent gallery that any art lover would enjoy. The variety of works and the talent and effort put into them by the artists is a must see. I highly recommend visiting the Anthony Giordano Gallery to visualize the actual pieces and take in all the fine details.
