During Talo’s late wife’s (Judith Feder) battle with cancer from year 2001 onwards to 2010, while taking care of home and children, he started to focus and be aware of each moment in the day which was very differently from the one he had as a busy New York City professional architect.

This daily awareness developed sensitivity to seasonal patterns and colors opened compositions; colors that we normally do not think of. Tapani Talo has continued the seasonal,  daily study since – for 16 years – with different aspects and emphasis of nature and location all within Westchester, NY.

This show marks the 50^th anniversary of Talo becoming a semi professional photographer, which started with his role as a Press Photographer in 1967 for newspapers about Rock and Roll in Helsinki, Finland.

The artist will host a reception on Saturday, February 10, from 2:00pm to 4:00pm in the Oresman Gallery. The reception is also free and everyone is welcome.

PAPER PERFECTIONISM features works derived from traditional Chinese paper-cutting techniques and integrates drawing and cut patterns into pictorial collages. These artworks depict figurative representations, mostly through the portraits of women and children in their intimate and frozen moment, which address femininity and childhood memory. Selected images are printed on porcelain plates, which serves to translate iconic motifs to decorative installations.

The exhibit will be on display in the Gallery from January 3 through January 30.

The Larchmont Public Library is pleased to announce the opening of the third annual student art exhibit featuring works by students enrolled in the Drawing and Painting program at Mamaroneck High School. The exhibit, which opens in the library’s Oresman Gallery on Tuesday, April 4, will run through April 28 and is available for viewing during normal library hours.

The exhibit will feature works in a variety of mediums by 14 participating students in the 10th through 12th grades.

The students in this show are currently taking the Drawing Painting class at Mamaroneck High School, the second in the 4 year sequence of courses in this media area. MHS has a strong, sequential program in drawing and painting that builds on past learning and prepares students for the rigors of an art and design education  in all different media after high school, if they choose to follow this path. In Drawing & Painting, students work intensively with problems of representing forms three-dimensionally in space by drawing and painting a variety of subjects. They also explore more deeply color theory and linear and atmospheric perspective that they began to study last year in Art Foundation. In addition, the students begin to learn to work independently outside of class, and practice their art analysis skills by discussing work in group critiques in the classroom.
