The Edward Hopper House Art Center, situated at Nyack, New York, about 20 miles north of NYC, has a series of interesting exhibitions lined up for this year. Two of these are currently in progress.

Favorites from the Arthayer R. Sanborn Hopper Collection Trust
(showing until the end of April)

The Edward Hopper House will be dedicating a Gallery in memory of Rev. Arthayer R Sanborn and his wife Ruth.  During this show, selections will include memorabilia and art works chosen by Phil Sanborn that provide a broad overview of the Arthayer R. Sanborn Hopper Collection Trust. These objects had personal meaning to Arthayer and Ruth Sanborn – objects that have historic significance and help to tell the story of the Sanborn’s relationship with Edward and Jo Hopper.

Inventing worlds: Abstraction Painting by Leslie K. Price, Lorna Ritz, and Robert Straight,
Until 7 April  2013
The three painters in this exhibition all draw from nature using improvisational techniques, but the results are widely varied.  Leslie K. Price sees nature as a metaphor for life: 'I paint from some aspect of the natural world, and the uniqueness of the space, light, and color interacting with it.' Lorna Ritz’s colorful abstractions 'bring the landscape indoors.  They become windows that peer deeply into space beyond their four edges.'   Robert Straight’s creates his 'own world' that draws from aspects of contemporary life.  While he uses maths and science as a basis for his constructed abstractions, he embraces improvisation in the execution.
