Pinciotti's work utilizes many mediums and repeating themes including nature, time, a sense of place, flight and light. His mixed media pieces often refer to nature and offer a unique mix of technology and the organic world. Pinciotti's work draws a parallel between what mother nature has created and what mankind has created. He seamlessly and harmoniously blends sticks, stones, wood, vines and other natural materials with neon, metal, photography and other man made materials. For example, in this show, Pinciotti will display an eleven foot neon silhouette of a soaring eagle set against a mural-sized photograph. Several of his pieces are documented instal- lations of neon words and structures set against Sullivan County's hills and woods. "Time and place are subtle threads present in numerous of my pieces," says Pinciotti. "A sense of place is the essence of who we are. In other words—our own individual temples are reflections of what is around us, how we see our inner selves or what we might wish it to be at any given moment. The dream of flight is also a reoccurring theme in my work. It may be a reference to the emotional spirit soaring above it all to gain a better understanding of our day to day lives or a need to fly away from its injustices. It may be the beauty of the miracle of flight itself via a wing of a bird or an airplane. Or perhaps it's an homage to the ingenuity of nature to evolve a process of defying gravity both literally and physically and man's ability to recreate that process." Pinciotti has a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toledo and a Master of Fine Arts from Pratt Art Institute. A current resident of Sullivan County, he has spent the last 23 years in New York City incorporating neon into his artwork. He has exhibited, organized and curated exhibi- tions involving light throughout the United States, Argentina, Brazil and Finland. Pinciotti's work is featured in many books, documentary videos, major motion pictures and tv shows. "The Nature of Light" is on view through Friday, July 30. The show is sponsored by the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance and made possible in part with funds from the New York State Council on the Arts. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more "Oval Shape Study," a work in neon and mixed media information about the exhibit call the Arts Center at 252-7576. "Metaphors, Meditations, Reflections" Douglas Craft set to Exhibit at Arts Center Gallery in August An exhibit of paintings and collages by Douglas Craft, "Metaphors, Meditations, Reflections," opens on Friday, August 6, with a reception from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., at the Delaware Arts Center Gallery, 37 Main Street, Narrowsburg, NY. Douglas Craft's abstract paintings and collages radiate both beauty and strength. Craft uses his own personal vocabulary of shape and form, color, line, structure and space, to explore both the inner self and the outer world—combining disciplined observation along with the influence of the uncon- scious. "The saturated black and whites of the Catskill winter landscape seems to have penetrated the plastic structure of observational form in my paintings. It has opened up the dictates of my pictorial form to a more simplified, open one—condensing that visual form to an even more lyrical, poetic exi- gency. But ultimately no words can explain the result of my work for it stems from the unconscious exploration in the studio—alone with my muse," says Craft. "Perhaps the greatest influence in deter- mining my work has been the work of other artists, contemporary as well as the more traditional of this century, such as Turner, Matisse, Kandinsky and Braque. One realizes that there is no such thing as a new original artist—one builds on the other. One can only hope to leave one's signature. The joyful and sometimes painful search goes on every day. While this is at times frustrating, it also opens up the richness of the creative act. The words of critics or artists can never explain painting. The words can only hint at real art—painting is painting is art. Exploring the soul brings eventual contentment and joy when one has been successful, and can then share it with his viewers." Craft has had numerous one-man exhibitions in prestigious galleries and museums in New York City, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Scotland and London. His work has been featured in a retrospective exhi- bition at the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio. Craft's artwork is in many per- manent collections throughout the country including Art Institute of Chicago, Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, Newark Museum, Jersey City Museum, Butler Institute of American Art, and the Smithsonian Institution among numerous others. "Metaphors, Meditations, Reflections" is on view through Friday, August 27. The show is sponsored by the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance and made possible in part with funds from the New York State Council on the Arts. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information about the exhibit call the Arts Center at 252-7576.

"As far back as the Stone Age there were artists 845-252-3136 or 845-252-7576 drawing on cave walls with stone or whatever material could be found— with the need to represent the world as they saw it. Surely, the beauty of human and animal life. In time artists used their art as commentary on current events, using representa- tional forms with passion and humor, often altering public opinion. Then non-objective art became another aesthetic; here the environment becomes the composition. The mean- ings that lie there are subjective and Detail of a work by Barbara Press personal."
