What does raw mean to you? Uncooked? In its natural state? Pure or unadulterated? Find out what the artists of the New Rochelle Art Association think as they present works that may be a little rougher and edgier than usual.
Sara Furlong will be hanging her watercolors from clothespins. Sculptor B.A. D’Alessandro’s "The Climb Out of Hell" is an abstraction of a ladder without rungs emerging from spikes representing the perils of Hell. Glass artist Gina Kingsley will exhibit a bowl made from broken pieces of clear glass, holding shards of tempered glass. Artist Theresa Beyer will be showing mixed media pieces inspired by the cicada invasion that wasn't as well as other summer insects. Sr. Anne Dillen has two pieces, "Ecology Ignored", features objects thrown into the gutter, and "Victoria's Secret," which depicts the direct opposite concept of a woman from that featured in the lingerie company's ads. Artist Megan Cowan will be exhibiting a mixed media collage titled ‘What is Love?’ Artist member Sherri Paul will show an oil painting of two countermen and a large roast beef at Katz's deli in NYC. Artist and president of the NRAA Jesse Sanchez will show two mixed media works; “The Kiss of Judas” and “Rachel Weeps”, both inspired by scripture passages.
