Oyster Point Gallery Exhibitions, originally conceived by President Kevin Barry, and currently curated by Ellen Martin, provide a prestigious and viable alternative gallery venue to artists from New Jersey and nearby locations.
Both emerging and established artists, many of whom are award-winning, have been included in the exhibitions that are shown in the public spaces of the first two floors of the Hotel.
The work is primarily two-dimensional and encompasses painting, photography, wall-mounted sculpture, collage, and collaborative work. The Gallery is an asset both to our community and guests of the Hotel.
Mar 5, 2024 – Apr 29, 2024Landscape painting has a rich and deep history in Chinese culture. In Western art, it didn’t become a genre worthy of an artist’s sole attention until the 17th century. It is also important for the four artists in this exhibit: Barbara Friedman, Seth Ruggles Hiler, Lucy Kalian, and Carol Magnatta.
Feb 6, 2024 – Mar 4, 2024Born in Bryn Mawr and raised in West Chester Pennsylvania, Monica Nask received her BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and went on to study painting at the School of Visual Arts, NY and the New York Academy of Art, NY. After 20 years in New York, she moved to the coast of New Jersey. It is there that she discovered her love for the horizon.
Jan 2, 2024 – Feb 5, 2024Inspiration for The Dinner Party came out of the political division between the right and left in this country at the time it was conceived in 2018.
Jan 2, 2024 – Feb 5, 2024Rothenberg’s works are expressionistic. Her various surfaces reveal employed materials – ranging from Mylar balloons collected from the coastline, graphite draftsmanship, photographs with experimental exposures, and unbridled painterly application on canvas.
Oct 31, 2023 – Jan 1, 2024Dyshlov’s etchings of phantasmagorical creatures and his figurative and landscape paintings are in this exhibit.
Apr 30, 2024 – Jul 1, 2024Joseph Iorio is not afraid of heights. He’s an ironworker whose daytime haunts are the bridges and skyscrapers of New York City. Back home in New Jersey, Joe is an artist. He paints abstract works that radiate the city’s chaotic energy. Intricate patterns mimic the complexity of lines and forms he sees from his high perches. What you might not expect is the bold color.
Apr 30, 2024 – Jul 1, 2024The work of Zee Cordero aka Deco PopZ is a vibrant fusion of influences drawn from iconic Pop artists of the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Inspired by the groundbreaking contributions of figures like Picasso, Warhol, Haring, and Lichtenstein, he aims to capture the essence of their bold, expressive styles in his work. Embracing the vivid colors, dynamic compositions, and societal commentary prevalent in their works, Zee strives to reinterpret and modernize these influences through his artistic lens.
May 3, 2024 – Jul 1, 2024When Mr. Harari was an architect in New York and New Jersey from 1983 – 2003, he wasn’t thinking about a fine art practice. Until he was. When he turned to create fine art, he explored painting, drawing, printmaking, and photography. In 2009, after initial hesitations about digital photography, he jumped in and found more than expected. “The digital revolution intimidated me at first. I intended to use the camera to support my pursuit of painting, to aid my understanding of color as a painter rather than an architect. The act of photographing, again, opened me to the magic power of place and the fleeting mysteries of the moment. The camera is a wonderful tool to heighten perception and awareness – the act of focus. City, street, timeless ruin, sunlit stream, fleeting, momentary shadows, and reflections are all there for me,” said Mark.
