The New Hope Arts Center, A Space will offer an exhibition of recent paintings and drawings by Charles David Viera, all of which were created in the last two years.
“This is my third one-person exhibition at the A Space and it is the first in the newly renovated New Hope Art Center so it is going to be special,“ said Viera.
“New Works,” running Oct. 6 to 29, at 2 Stockton St., New Hope, offers Viera’s personal stylistic approach to a variety of subject matter which includes landscapes, animals and narrative figurative images.
“Some works are more expressionist than others because I consider all of fine art painting’s possibilities,” he said. “As an example ‘The Three Graces of Akrotiri’ is a work I created due to my interest in the role of women in Greco-Roman mythology and I tried to recreate the feeling of some of those aged archaeological finds with a more expressionist application of color while with ‘Stella’s View of Lambertville’ I return to a more academic approach to painting. This might seem to be a bit of a resolute approach to painting but it has always worked for me. I think of myself as a two dimensional musician who plays both classical and jazz.”
The public is invited to the artist’s opening reception from 5 to 8 p.m. Oct. 6, and to a “Clear the Studio” event on Oct. 28 and 29, when additional art will be reduced and added with 100% of the proceeds to benefit the nonprofit New Hope Arts Center and the Arts Council of Princeton.
