A mysterious duo at the ARTery

Posted

MILFORD, PA — The ARTery Gallery’s will present June Ponte’s “The Amaranthine Aspect” and Bill Rabsey’s “Lost and Found” in November, with a wine and cheese reception on Saturday, November 11 from 6 to 9 p.m. The pairing of the two artists evokes a mysterious, Victorian Steam Punk environment. The “6x6 4 $60” exhibit of tiny six-inch square artwork created by the cooperative gallery’s members will debut at the same time and continue through December.

An eerie sense of mystery pervades Ponte’s artwork. Through detailed brushwork and vibrant colors, she creates portraits of iconic historical and cultural figures, often laced with mystic symbolism. “Amaranthine” in the show title refers to the everlasting souls whose work lives on, such as icons Frida Kahlo, Edgar Allen Poe, Mark Twain, and Ernest Hemingway. The artist also creates Gothic-style stained glass luminaries, painted stained glass windows and jewelry with a vintage twist.

The air of mystery continues in the work of Bill Rabsey’s “Lost and Found” exhibit. In his old barn turned studio, Rabsey uses his collection of unusual objects as his medium to create witty, otherworldly and thought-provoking sculptures and assemblages. 

The exhibit will run through December 4. For more information visit arterygall erymilford.com or call 570/409-6754.
