Tara Kopp and Jenna Lucente upend the CAS Arts Center

Posted

LIVINGSTON MANOR, NY — The Catskill Art Society presents “With Amazing Scenes Like These,” an exhibition featuring artwork by Tara Kopp; and “Limited Landscapes,” an exhibition featuring artwork by Jenna Lucente, at the CAS Arts Center at 48 Main St., from June 25 through July 24. There will be an artist talk on Saturday, June 25 at 3 p.m., followed by a free opening reception from 4 to 6 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.

Both artists are observers of the human condition, though the lenses through which they make their observations are very different. Kopp paints miniature objects, specific enough to depict what they represent, yet in their ambiguity they convey a universality of human existence. The paintings are glimpses of a scene or fragments of a narrative and are fictional constructions of specific moments in time.

Nature is at odds with the subjects in the paintings of Jenna Lucente. Her work portrays a moment of tension between animal kingdom and the natural environment due to ongoing human interference that challenges the animal’s role in nature. The inspiration for this series is the Catskills region.

Gallery hours are Thursdays through Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Mondays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The CAS Arts Center is wheelchair accessible.
