(Setauket, NY – July 10, 2012) Gallery North presents its annual group show, Local Color, featuring current work by contemporary Long Island artists. With an impressive array of regional talent, this year’s exhibition is a two-part production. Photography, the focus of Local Color I, ran for three weeks, from August 3 – 24. Local Color II will highlight painting, also for three weeks, from August 31 – September 21. Through these distinct and compelling media, Local Color explores the themes and textures of Long Island in a celebration of its people and places.
Together, the photographers and painters showcase the natural beauty of Long Island’s sea and skyscapes, woods, and fields, as well as the bustle and interplay of its roads and residents. With a two-part show, Local Color highlights the unique perspectives that photography and painting can offer as each artist investigates her/his point of view and the living environment. Local Color II will have an Opening reception, on August 31.
