Art League of LI News

MAKING WAVES a Faculty Exhibition August 21 - September 12     "Linden Bark Red" knitted industrial wire sculpture by Joyce Goodman.  Photo credit:  Cathy Carver The heart of the Art League of Long Island is its distinguished and dedicated faculty. In advance of the fall semester, the Art League of Long Island honors them in an exhibition of their personal work.    The Art League's faculty is comprised of well-respected, award-winning artists who also share a common goal of excellence in teaching art to students of all ages and abilities.  They are dedicated to introducing new techniques and materials to their students, challenging them to root out compositional clichés and  getting them to think about their work in new ways.   In addition to its long-time group of master teachers in the classic areas of painting, drawing, ceramics, and sculpture, the Art League is making waves in presenting new classes and workshops that go beyond the traditional forms of expression.  For example, one of their newest faculty members, a professional goldsmith, takes knitting to another level as she teaches students how to create unique jewelry by knitting with metal wire.  Teaching artists also conduct classes in mosaic design, fused glass, digital photography, painting on silk to make wearable art, and other specialized jewelry techniques. Admission to the exhibit is open to the general public at no charge Monday through Friday 9am - 4pm and on Saturdays 11am - 4pm.   The gallery will be closed Monday September 6 in observance of the Labor Day holiday.

Recent Paintings of Hemraj

Hemraj

This comes to my mind when I look at the paintings of Hem Raj. His paintings help us to reach a point of thinking through meditation,

a point of wordless and unintellectual understanding, which lie behind signs and symbols. His paintings lead us on a kind of tantric path,

a path that combines meditation with consciousness. Meditation, the means of reaching a world beyond thinking, is an important concern

of the artist. His paintings are meant to bring piece for the onlooker and the painter. They should be a sublime representation of feeling

beyond thinking. Thus you could attain “Anand”, eternal bliss, spiritual joy. Then only you could reach “anyatra dharmad anyatra adharmat”,

an ex-pression from the Upanishads that was used by Nietzsche for his highly influental work “Jenseits von Gut und Böse” (Beyond good and evil).
