Perry Lawson Fine Art Presents: LAYERS IN MOTION
2024-08-09 08:00 - 2024-09-29 17:00 (America/New_York) | Perry Lawson Fine Art,90 North Broadway, Nyack, NY 10960, USA
Presenting LAYERS IN MOTION: Alyce Gottesman, Lotte Petricone, Mary Ann Strandell, opening FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 2024, 6-8 PM.

(Nyack, NY – July 1, 2024) Perry Lawson Fine Art is pleased to present Layers in Motion, on view at 90 North Broadway, Nyack, NY, from August 9 through September 29, 2024. The exhibition features artwork by Alyce Gottesman, Lotte Petricone, and Mary Ann Strandell, all of whom employ layering techniques in their work to different effects.
Alyce Gottesman’s paintings are rooted in nature, inspired by her upbringing beside a lake in rural New Jersey. There she developed a deep connection to the rhythms of seasons and the vitality of nature. Later, living in California, she was captivated by the unique quality of light. She now spends several months each year there to immerse herself in its beauty and inspiration. Music also plays a significant role in Gottesman’s creative process, influencing the rhythms, colors, and patterns in her paintings. She describes her approach as both experiential and experimental, embracing spontaneity and improvisation. Working on multiple pieces simultaneously, she engages in a dynamic interplay of drawing, dripping, and brushing paint until each canvas captures a moment of action and unpredictability.
Gottesman holds a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University and an MFA from the School of Visual Arts. Her work has been showcased in numerous solo and group exhibitions across the Northeast, including The Painting Center and Cheryl Hazan Gallery in New York City, as well as at venues in New Jersey, such as Drawing Rooms and Paul Robeson Center for the Arts. Her artworks are held in esteemed private and public collections, including the Brooklyn Art Library and the College of NJ.
Lotte Petricone’s artistic process for her recent paintings begins with drawing from print images and progresses with deliberate painting and meticulous attention to detail. The interplay of color, value, and texture creates a sense of space and movement throughout the image, while the coexistence of the drawn shapes and the negative space around and between them, occupied by patterns and textures in translucent layers, contributes to the visual balance. The result is a visual image that unifies seemingly disconnected elements into a cohesive whole, inviting the viewer to enter and respond to the constructed world.
Petricone grew up in New York City and earned a BFA from The Cooper Union School of Art, an MA in Art Education from Manhattanville College and a Certificate of Advanced Study in School Leadership from SUNY New Paltz. Her work has been exhibited in the tri-state area, including the Painting Center NYC, the 2018 ArtsWestchester Triennial, Rockland Center for the Arts and the Edward Hopper House Museum. Lotte lives and works in Nyack, NY.
Mary Ann Strandell’s work explores the intersection of nature and technology in our society. By combining various places and objects as visual symbols, she considers the convergence of historic space between the baroque, modernism, and the post-modern. Her imagery stems from canyon sites in the Southwest, urban construction sites, architecture, nature, and historic museum objects. Strandell uses drawing, painting, and 3D lenticular media to explore these subjects. The works begin as paintings and evolve into multi-layered lenticular montages through the use of sophisticated computer software.
Born in Watertown, SD, Strandell holds a BFA in Fine Arts and Art History from the University of South Dakota, an MA in Studio Art and an MFA in Painting and Printmaking from the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. She is the recipient of prestigious awards, including an individual National Endowment for Arts in Painting Arts Midwest, an Arts and Humanities Grant, and a Geraldine R. Dodge Fellowship Grant. Her residencies include the Institute Electronic Arts, Alfred University, NY, Art Omi International, The Bemis Center For Contemporary Art, Byrdcliffe Woodstock, and The Menaul School (Albuquerque, NM). Strandell has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States and abroad. Her work is held in important public collections, including the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art, the DiRosa Foundation, and the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art. In 2020-21, she was commissioned by UBER Corporation and Children’s Mercy Hospital for site-specific artworks. Major publications that have featured Strandell’s work include The New Yorker, The New York Times, and The Village Voice. She lives and works in the New York City area.

Each event in the series listed below – one tragedy and one comedy – will have a different cast, making every performance completely unique from all the others! Each performance includes the complete opera and is semi-staged (costumes, props).
July Opera: Il Trovatore – Verdi
Verdi’s turbulent tragedy is a mainstay of the operatic repertory. The score is both dark and energetic, with infectious tunes that are not easily forgotten. Set in the turbulent Middle Ages, the story is about a count seeking revenge for the murder of his brother by the gypsy girl Azucena, who just happens to have raised the Count’s arch-enemy Manrico. This opera features the playful Anvil Chorus and the rousing tenor aria Di quella pira, a favorite in concert performances by Pavarotti, Domingo, et al. Sung in Italian.

Friday, July 5, 7:00 pm
Saturday, July 6, 7:00 pm
Sunday, July 7, 3:00 pm

The second opera performed as part of the NYOC summer series is Donizetti’s hilarious comedy, Don Pasquale. A bumbling buffoon is taught a life lesson as he is tricked into a fake marriage with a young woman who turns into a demanding shrew.
