ART
Jericho: Robert Waldo Brunelle Jr.
Through April 25.
Scenes of everyday life, vintage hot rods and architectural drawings, highlighted by dramatic use of light and shadow, that convey a sense of loneliness and isolation. Brunelle’s work is reminiscent of an earlier era characterized by artist Edward Hopper.
The artist will be in the gallery April 10-11, April 17-18 and April 24-25, 1 to 3 p.m.
Emile Gruppe Gallery, 22 Barber Farm Road.
Johnson: ‘Progressione’
Through May 1.
The paintings of Jillian Lauren Lisitano, whose driving force as a painter comes from a rich and diverse familial and cultural history, both known and unknown. “The legacy of these paintings was birthed centuries before I was, deeply embedded in my DNA that can be traced back generations to my Sicilian ancestors,” she says.
