Abstract Impressionist Susan Marx Exhibits Paintings

 

Abstract Impressionist Susan Marx Exhibits Paintings at

 Agora Gallery, 530 West 25 Street, New York, NY, May 16 – June 5, 2014

 

Chelsea’s Agora Gallery is set to feature the work of artist Susan Marx.

The exhibition begins on May 16 and runs until June 5, Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm, with an opening reception on Thursday evening May 22 from 6 to 8 pm.  For more information: (212) 226-4151.

Marx's modern abstract impressionist paintings combine formal elements with spontaneous, colorful emotive responsiveness, resulting in paintings as dynamic as they are compelling. 

She paints outside, en plein air, with her feet barefoot on the grass, allowing her to truly experience the landscape and capture what she sees and feels on canvas.   Marx doesn’t paint flowers to paint flowers.  She paints flowers to paint color.  

Marx inhales nature as she paints, and then exhales her sensations in a truly impassioned creation of color that epitomizes the moment. Her goal is to capture the essence of a painting, the color and the emotion, and leave the rest to the viewer’s imagination, to bring him into the painting. She paints nature but is not limited by it. Above all, Marx has been inspired by the Impressionist paintings of Claude Monet. 

"They call me Mme. Monet in jest, but they are right," Marx said. "I have inherited the soul of Monet.”  

She has painted on Monet’s bridge, but has gone beyond, painting impassioned colorful canvases that are in a style all her own, according to a release from the gallery. 

Exhibited widely throughout the United States, Marx’s work can be found in private collections in the United States and abroad. 

Marx lives in Orange, New Jersey. The paintings being shown were painted in Montclair, New Jersey.

However, if a center misses plurality or a center, an axis of coordinates will become unstable. It will continue becoming fluid if the sense of values for which the world should depend is lost. Continuation and division. It becomes quick and becomes late. Concealment and exposure. It reclaims and breaks down. It moves and stops. It prepares and breaks. It decides in puzzlement. It will dissolve, if built. The body will be divided, will bury and float and will become unstable. The story does not begin yet. And starting may be impossible. A meaning is visited from outside. 「重力都市」について 重力は、その性質から下方に、あるいは中心に向かう。 しかし、中心が複数化、あるいは中心を見失ってしまうと、座標軸は揺らぎ。 世界が拠り所なく、混沌と流動化し続ける。 連続し分断される。 速く遅く。 隠蔽されて露出する。 開墾し崩される。 動いては留まる。 整えられ壊される。 戸惑いつつ決断される。 構築しては溶解する。 身体は分断され、埋没し、浮遊し不安定化する。 物語は、未だに始まっていない。 そして、けっして始められることはないだろう 意味は外部から訪れるだろう。               #fineartmagazine

(Tickets must be purchased in advance for $19.)

Hampton Classic Horse Show Making Significant Improvements to Rings

Hampton Classic Horse Show Making Significant Improvements to Rings Changes Should Have a Major Impact on Footing in Grand Prix and Other Rings Bridgehampton, NY - May 07, 2014 - The Hampton Classic Horse Show is making a number of significant improvements to the grass rings at its show grounds. After careful study and consultation with renowned experts, the Classic is instituting several changes including new aeration and top dressing protocols, improved drainage, and new mowing and watering schedules in all competition rings with the exception of the Jumper Annex which has an all-weather surface rather than grass. The Hampton Classic returns to Bridgehampton, NY, August 24-31, for its 39th year of world-class equestrian competition. The Hampton Classic features more than 100 classes of competition for horses and riders of all ages. A wide range of jumper, hunter, equitation, short stirrup and leadline classes are part of the Classic's schedule, as well as competitions for riders with disabilities. The Classic features 6 show rings, a Boutique Garden with more than 70 vendors, and a wide selection of dining options, all on its 60-acre show grounds. The Classic's world-class equestrian competition attracts many of the nation's top professional and amateur riders. "We have made a major commitment to improve the footing in all our grass rings, in particular our Grand Prix Ring," said Shanette Cohen, Executive Director of the Hampton Classic. "We've been working with experts from the renown international show-jumping facility, Spruce Meadows, Calgary, Canada, whose grass rings have a reputation for outstanding footing, and with Steve McDonald from Turfgrass Disease Solutions, LLC, to improve the footing in our Grand Prix and Hunter rings. With ongoing consulting from both parties, we are making changes that are significant and should have a real impact." Changes to the Classic's famed all-grass Grand Prix Ring include the installation of a new irrigation system and a new well. The Classic is also making changes that will give the course designer more flexibility in designing his courses leading to less wear-and-tear. These changes include moving the bank to the other end of the ring, near the grandstand, and re-building the dock water jump to take up a smaller footprint and provide more room between it and the ring wall. The moving of the bank and rebuilding of the dock water jump are being done under the direction and guidance of Hampton Classic board member Conrad Homfeld. Additionally, the hedges around the gazebo in the ring are being removed and plantings around the double liver-pools are being reduced in size. The Classic is also adding perimeter drainage on the eastern and northern edges of the Grand Prix Ring to go with what was already in place on the other two sides. "One by-product of the new irrigation system is that there will no longer be any sprinkler heads in the ground," Cohen said. "This will be helpful for the course designer as he will not have as many fixed elements to work around when planning his courses." The Classic has also initiated a new program for improving the grass itself through a mowing schedule based on the height of the grass, improved aeration and new top-dressing applications, the type of seed, optimum watering schedules, and the use of carefully selected fertilizer and chemical treatments. "When the work is finished, and with the ongoing new protocols, we believe that the footing in our rings will be vastly improved," Cohen said. "We thank all those who gave us feedback last year and look forward to welcoming everyone back for what is sure to be a great horse show this summer!" Further information on the Hampton Classic Horse Show is available at the Hampton Classic website at www.hamptonclassic.com  or by calling 631-537-3177.  Hampton Classic Horse Show, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) charitable corporation.
