An artists’ reception for the new art show at the Rosalie Dimon Gallery at the Jamesport Manor Inn will take place on Sunday, Nov. 22 from 3 to 5 p.m.
Paintings by Greenport artist Scott McIntire and fine art prints by Madeline Daversa of Garden City will be on exhibit at the gallery through Feb. 3.
Jamesport Manor Inn is offering a Sunset and Spirits prix fixe dinner the night of the reception for $29 per person.
The exhibit is presented by East End Arts, which said in a press release: “Painter Scott McIntire’s hybrid style comes from a courtship with photorealism, pop art, op art, and abstraction. He elevates his subjects to larger than life iconic status and depicts them in vibrant colors using high gloss enamel paint to achieve color intensity and saturation. Color is also part of his subject matter and is reinforced by his repeated use of color bars.”
“I take elements from my surrounding environment and place them in a new environment of my own making,” McIntyre said in the release. “ This new setting consists of my interpretation of the energy fields that surround us. Having a concern about cellular transmissions, radio waves, electromagnetic forces, sounds, climate change, and the human manipulation of our environment, I have attempted to make ‘the invisible energy fields’ visible. I want people to think about what is going on around them and to gain a fuller vision of their environment.”
Daversa’s artwork reflects a love for the natural environment of Long Island’s East End. Her farm landscapes often feature the worker. Where one would usually overlook their presence, they find importance and charm in Madeline’s prints. Her prints show figures interacting with nature be it pleasure or work. Madeline finds it very important to showcase the crucial work the Long Island farms are responsible for — not only for growing crops, but also for the preservation of the natural use of land.
“I am captivated by the unending possibilities of printmaking. My artistic inspiration comes from the various techniques and the wonderful surprises that evolve from the different printmaking processes,” Daversa says. “The basic action of carving wood is absorbing and always challenges me to achieve a level of proficiency. It is relevant to reveal the grain of the wood in my final image. My intaglio prints reveal texture that evolves from the process of multiple experimental bites. I am able to enhance my etching prints with the use of hand colored printing or la poupee. Printmaking is a true inspiration for me.”
Exhibits at the Rosalie Dimon Gallery are a joint effort by East End Arts and the Jamesport Manor Inn to introduce exceptional artists and their work to the East End communities. East End Arts members who wish to be considered for exhibits at the Jamesport Manor Inn should have updated representations of work in the East End Arts Artist Registry at the East End Arts Gallery, located at 133 East Main Street in Riverhead. The artists selected for East End Arts’ off-site gallery shows are chosen by committee.
