Photography and Painting: Creative Harmony
LIBAA members Clemente Ettrick and Galvin Bisserup at Comsewogue Public Library,
Dec 1 - 27, 2018
The art exhibit at the Comsewogue Public Library in Port Jefferson Station has much in store for you during the month of December. Galvin Bisserup and Clemente Ettrick have created beautiful thematic harmony in the complementary pieces of their work, selected especially for this month’s display.
Galvin Bisserup, owner and principal portrait photographer of Glickman Studio Photographers located in Freeport, New York has spent several decades capturing special moments and unique nuances of subjects positioned within the range of his camera lens. His unique manipulation of light and color adds a distinctive quality to much of his work. Galvin says it best in his poem:
My identity in art is my photography
Creative images
Dimension between positive and negative
A world of cosmic image energy
Capturing the spirit and soul
Forward motion
My identity in art is my photography
Through years of a career in graphic arts, and many hours of discovery at the New York Art Students League, portrait artist Clemente Ettrick, has developed a style reminiscent of the old masters in his rendering of various subjects of all ages. His paintings, whether still lifes or portraits, reveal his focus: controlling the effects of light on a subject in order to control the flow of the picture. There is a life-like quality to the subjects of his paintings which incorporate meticulous attention to detail.
“What I hope to achieve in painting,” says Clemente, “is to continue the search for the harmony of light, color, composition, and design that will make my pictures work at every level.”
Stop by the library before December 27th to explore the harmonious interplay of these works of art and see how they strike the chords in you.
