Eric Ladelpha: Private View / Public Places
February 25 to March 27, 2004
An exhibition of oil paintings and drawings done over the past ten years. Eric Ladelpha's work reflects moments poignant, transitional and yet eternal. With a strong background in traditional methods, Ladelpha says, "I am moving towards a more timeless representation of my subjects, allowing irrational and dream-like elements to enter the works." Illustrated "A Pedestrian Triptych"
Tim Noonan: New Paintings: Downstream
April 3 to May 1, 2004:,
Large-scale acrylic abstract landscapes derived from photos. The paintings are an extension of the investigations begun in the Red Tree series (at Artword Gallery 2002). The new works are views of streams and lakes, as seen from a shoreline. The focus is water energy: movement, pattern, light-reflection or stillness. Illustrated: "Riverrise". 54"x78", acrylic on canvas, 2003.
