Art Highlights
Through 1/20- JANE BLOODGOOD-ABRAMS, ROBERT
GOLDSTROM, HARRY ORLYK, LEIGH PALMER, AND LAURA VON ROSK at
Carrie Haddad Gallery, Hudson—This exhibit seems to be generally
inspired by a pastoral naturalism, rich with earth and sky
tones, but with unexpected twists in the familiar. Jane Bloodgood-Abrams
hovers above her low-sky sunlit mystical river scenes, capturing
moments that feel like the aftermath of or precursors to a
storm. Robert Goldstrom’s eels, whales, and dusky humans are
usually suspended in water with strong blues and oranges,
suggesting a strangely revealing inertia. Harry Orlyk brings
a broad-stroked Impressionism to what would appear to be more
mundane farm and field subjects, but his deft use of contrast,
color and light elevate them to a humble majesty. Leigh Palmer’s
distant views feel like low-flying flights, where the sky
demands your attention despite the panoramic view, while Laura
Von Rosk creates more stylized vignettes that seem to fold
in upon themselves, using natural icons of trees, water, and
rock. . . though from a place not quite of this earth. Carrie
Haddad Gallery starts a new exhibition with Richard Hennessey,
Betsy Weis, Vicki Wolf, and Donise English on Jan. 24, with
reception Saturday Jan. 26, from 6-8 PM. Carrie Haddad Gallery,
622 Warren St., Hudson, www.carriehaddadgallery.com,
