SUMMARY:Between Realms: The Visionary Etchings of Kurt Seligmann
DESCRIPTION:On display March 14 – April 27\, 2025 \nOpen to the public Friday – Sundays\, 12-5 pm \nReception: Saturday\, March 22nd\, 3 – 5 pm \n  \nWRCA CELEBRATES SURREALISM in a Collaboration with the Seligmann Center \nSwiss Surrealist painter Kurt Seligmann was a world traveler\, who spent his final years in Sugar Loaf NY\, where visitors to his home and studio included world renowned artists Alexander Calder\, Yves Tanguy\, Marcel Duchamp\, and Max Ernst\, among many others. Among Seligmann’s students there\, were Robert Motherwell and Orange County’s own Frank Shuback. \n“As we approach the end of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Surrealism\, we are excited to have a selection of Kurt Seligmann’s etchings from the Seligmann Estate in Sugar Loaf to be exhibited here at the Wallkill River Center for the Arts (WRCA) in Montgomery NY\,” says WRCA executive director Ursula Morgan. \nThe unique exhibit will also explore the artist’s place in the story of Surrealism. The Jewish Seligmann\, along with his wife Arlette\, was the first of the European Surrealists to emigrate at the start of WWII. Subsequently\, the couple were instrumental in helping to extricate a number of their fellow artists and writers from Occupied France. \n“In my position as Chair of the Seligmann Center Art Committee at Vision Hudson Valley\, I’m excited to curate and take part in this collaboration with WRCA\, which is my former work home of seven years\,” remarks Sarah Fortner.  “This exhibition was in the talking stages over a year ago and I’m pleased to be able to see it come to fruition.” \n  \n   \n  \n  \nThis exhibit is made possible through the partnership of The Seligmann Center and Vision Hudson Valley \nhttps://www.kurtseligmanncenter.org/ \n \n \n

SUMMARY:Hopkinesque by Mark Hopkins: Art That Thinks
DESCRIPTION:Mark Hopkins is a regional artist whose style has strong similarities to surrealism\, most notably Salvador Dalí. His work deals with some of the same issues the original surrealists grappled with – the alienation of modernism\, the irrationality of war\, and the study of human psychology. Like the surrealists\, Hopkins engages spontaneous\, creative processes to arrive at novel forms of imagery. Like Dali\, Hopkins’ work features recognizable objects in unrecognizable contexts to elicit an irrational and subconscious reaction or response. \nHopkins’ begins each work with stream-of-consciousness sketches that he carefully works into complex compositions for the canvas. It is only during the painting process that he fully resolves any remaining design issues. \n  \nAbout the artist: Born in Poughkeepsie\, NY\, Mark Hopkins discovered his passion for art early in life\, leading him to graduate with a BA from St. Olaf College in 1981. His journey as an artist has taken him across the globe\, from Asia to Europe\, where he explored diverse cultures and perspectives\, integrating them into his work. Over the decades\, he has painted murals\, created illustrations\, and worked in theater\, film\, and graphic design. Now based in Rhinebeck\, NY\, he focuses on studio work that reflects a lifetime of travel and creative exploration. His art blends realism with abstraction\, influenced by everything from Thai and Balinese culture to modern American life\, seeking to capture the essence of human connection and spirit. \n  \nHopkinesque by Mark Hopkins: Art That Thinks | March 14 – April 27\, 2025 \nReception and meet the artist: Saturday\, March 22nd\, 3 – 5 pm \nGallery hours:  Friday – Sundays\, 12-5 pm \n  \n     \n  \nhttps://www.hopkinesque.com/
