Charles Kaiman: New Paintings 2013

February 26 – March 23, 2013

Meet the Artist – Thursday, February 28, 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm

Charles Kaiman is showing new paintings at Blue Mountain Gallery in New York City, from February 26th through March 23rd.  The show is primarily still life and landscapes.

Kaiman uses careful modulation of color-value and works directly from the motif in natural light, painting in the tradition of the American painters Edwin Dickinson and Jean Liberté. He studied with both of these masters at the Art Students League of New York.

Fundraising for Blue Mt. Gallery Lecture Series

The Blue Mountain Gallery is seeking funding for the launch of a new speaker series (Deadline for current campaign, March 19)

“New Perspectives: Alternative Histories of the Art of the Last 60 Years”

The first speaker, David Cohen, is  scheduled for April 16th, 7 pm. Additional monies raised will further support the series.

Many artists in NYC and elsewhere have long felt that the art of the last 60 years has been viewed from a limited perspective and that the same art historical analysis is repeated over and over. It is in the interest of broadening viewpoints that we propose this speaker series.

 Your donation of any amount to our series will help to air new viewpoints and make discussion of art more vital and germane.

Blue Mountain Gallery at Fairleigh Dickinson University: Points of View

While any work of art is an artist’s point of view, the works in this exhibition focus on that quality.  The pieces include interpretations of microscopic forms, expressive manipulations of unusual angles of vision, playful placements of figures whose points of view contrast with that of the artist and more abstract presentations of a visual experience.  Reflecting the broad range of artistic approaches, the literal positions taken include a range from precarious to stable, and the kind of details varies from carefully detailed to highly abstracted and expressive.  The exhibition includes prints, drawings, mixed media and paintings.
