This month, we are pleased to present the paintings of Art Brod.

Selected Works is an exhibition of abstract paintings by Art Brod. Some of the paintings reflect a longstanding appreciation of the style of Jackson Pollock, while others more directly reflect either observations of nature or respect for geometric form. Each of the featured large-scale works has been chosen by the juror and/or exhibit curator for inclusion in one or more art shows within either Upstate New York or southern Vermont within the past three years. 

Art is a lifelong resident of Rensselaer and Washington Counties. He is an active member of several regional art organizations including Cooperstown Art Association, The Fenimore, Southern Vermont Art Center, Lower Adirondack Regional Art Council, Colonie Art League, Paul Nigra Center, Greenwich Art & Library Alliance and East Bank Arts Alliance (EBAA). He has also exhibited on occasion in joint shows with his wife Judy Ellers, regularly at their gallery Whipple City Studio in Greenwich, and previously at SLCA as a member of EBAA. 

As a graduate of Averill Park High School and the RPI School of Architecture, Art is pleased this exhibition is both occurring throughout the same month as his 60th high school class reunion and in SLCA’s gallery named for Daniel Sekellick, a fellow alumnus of the School of Architecture.  

In celebration, Art has scheduled a late afternoon closing reception for Selected Works on Friday, July 24, at 4:30 p.m. and Art and Judy are sponsoring SLCA’s free public concert that evening by their friend Rockabilly Hall of Famer Marty Wendell and His Tour Band.

Art will also be in the gallery on Saturday, July 18, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for a “meet the artist.”
