Please join Rockland Center for the Arts for the opening Encore Encounter: Recycled works by Poramit Thantapalit in Gallery Two.
Encore Encounter features the works of Poramit Thantapalit. Poramit’s work is inspired by the relationship and connection between humans, nature and the surroundings such as trees, flowers, the ocean, people and animals. The artist focuses on using both recycled and non-recycled materials to create his artwork. Discarded shopping bags, cereal boxes, and plastic bottles that were once considered “trash” are altered into unexpected visions of beauty such as coral clouds hanging from the ceiling and bluetanica gardens growing on the wall . Poramit’s artwork is created from small parts and are uniquely assembled like puzzles. Each piece can stand alone as an individual object or together to create a large installation. Cyanotype prints are often made of the recycled objects of art. Beautifully created sculptures, installations, mixed media and drawings exemplify just how much waste we generate. It also His work inspires viewers to protect our environment.

A native of Thailand, Poramit Thantapalit has a degree in journalism and a master’s in computer graphics from New York Institute of Technology. He has over 15 years experience as a graphic designer, artist and photographer with global marketing organizations. His installations and artworks have been exhibited at the Arcadia Earth Museum, National Academy Museum, the James Rose Center, IPCNY Print Fest at Robert Miller Gallery, the Jersey City Theater, and the Sodertalje Arts Gallery in Sweden. His installation “Masked Arts” that he created during the pandemic was featured in the New York Times Sunday edition in May 2021. Poramit now lives in New Jersey.

In Gallery 1, Andrea Baruffi showcases a collection of prints made from his original acrylic paintings. Baruffi’s artistic style is characterized by whimsy and humor. Many of the original acrylic paintings, from which the “Playful” series of art prints are made, range in size from 60″ x 80″ to 80″ x 80″. They are available for purchase directly from the artist’s studio, located two hours north of Florence. His work is widely exhibited throughout Italy.
Baruffi, a former illustrator and longtime resident of Piermont, returned to Italy after his retirement, having worked in New York for major advertising agencies and children’s book publishers. He received classical training in art at the prestigious Liceo Artistico in Bologna and holds a degree in architecture from the University of Florence. He cites Edward Hopper and Caravaggio among his favorite artists. To learn more about Baruffi and his work, visit Instagram page @andrea_baruffi_paintings.

In Gallery 2, Suzanne Auer presents a series of paintings that highlight her love of color. The paintings evoke a sense of nostalgia and a feeling of revisiting favorite places and things. Auer showcases her process of planning a painting around a specific color and creating a visual path through it.
Auer received her BFA in Jewelry and Silversmithing from SUNY New Paltz and started her own business painting children’s clothes and murals. This led to creating The Art
Studio, a business teaching drawing and painting to children and adults for over 20 years in Highland Mills, NY. She is now retired and painting every free moment she

Roost Restaurant and Bar is an American brasserie where co-owner Chef Kevin Reilly serves elevated fare, utilizing the freshest seasonal ingredients for a variety of exquisite meat, seafood, and vegetable dishes. In 2020, Roost moved around the corner from its initial Sparkill location to its present home inside the iconic Union Arts Center. The century-old firehouse was meticulously renovated in 2010 by Simon Basner and repurposed as a venue for multi- disciplinary artistic expression. When Roost leased and subsequently purchased the building, co-owner Maria Santini created a space which patrons often describe as having a cool, unique vibe and much more than just a place to dine – it’s an experience that is not soon forgotten.
Restaurant Reservations are highly recommended. For Private Event Inquiries visit Roost at roostinsparkill.com. For Reservations: 845-359-6700

In just three short years, LEONID & FRIENDS have blown the minds of legions of fans with their uncanny ability to capture the spirit, musicality, and fire of American supergroup Chicago. Leonid Vorobyev’s goal was a studio project in dedication to Chicago under the motto “musicians for musicians”.

Their first video went viral, but they really gained traction when Chicago itself published the video on its official website. They have since expanded their repertoire to include Earth Wind & Fire, Blood Sweat & Tears, Ides of March, Stevie Wonder, Steely Dan, Deep Purple, and new original material. This incredible 11-piece band now has over 600,000 followers across social media, an astonishing 120 million+ video views, and over 200 successful US shows under their belt. The future is only looking up for Leonid & Friends.
