Here is the latest upcoming art exhibit at the Monroe Center presented by the hob’art gallery….

“Arbor Day” March 29-April 21, 2013 hob’art gallery

Artists’ Reception: Saturday, March 30, 6-8pm

Gallery Talk: Sunday, April 21, 3:30pm 

Monroe Art Center 720 Monroe Street, E208, Hoboken, NJ 07030

Thursday – Sunday 1-5, and by appointment

On Saturday, March 29, 2013, an exhibition, “Arbor Day,” will open at the hob-art gallery, 720 Monroe Street, Hoboken, NJ. Janet Kravetz Hollander and Don Sichler, members of the gallery, will present artwork in the mediums of photography, drawing, and prints. The exhibition will be open to the public through Sunday, April 21 and a reception to meet the artists will be held on Saturday, March 30, from 6 to 8 p.m. On the April 21st Gallery Walk Day, both artists will talk about the artwork on view starting at 3:30pm. The artists thank the Monroe Art Center and the hob’art gallery for their support of this exhibition.

Don Sichler’s goal as a photographer is to help people find beauty where they least expect it. In this collection of Digitally Enhanced Photographs, “Reflecting on Trees,” he explores the symbol as it affects our culture and language. Don uses the camera to record an image, and then he expands and deepens the final print with the resources of the computer.

For Janet Kravetz Hollander, her hand is the principal art tool. These drawings reveal the distinctive gestures and visions by which the physical world is experienced. The pictures in Arbor Day are of trees from places Janet has lived or has dreamed about.

Gallery information can be obtained on the website www.hob-art.org and from the director, France Garrido, 201-319-1504 or director@hob-art.org.

Reception: Saturday, March 2, 6-8pm

Artists’ Talks: Gallery Walk Sunday, March 17, 3:30pm

Hours: Thursday thru Sunday, 1-5pm and by Appointment

On February 28, 2013, an exhibition, Brushstrokes & Grain, will open at the hob’art gallery, Monroe Art Center, 720 Monroe Street, #E208, Hoboken, NJ. Two members of the gallery, Joe Gilmore and Tom Egan, will present artwork in the mediums of painting and photography. The exhibit will be open to the public from February 28 to March 24, 2013, and a reception for the show to meet the artists, will be held on, Saturday, March 2, 6 – 8pm. Gallery hours are Thursday thru Sunday, 1 – 5pm and by appointment. The artists thank the Monroe Art Center and the hob’art gallery for their support of this exhibition.

The Brushstrokes and Grain show emphasizes the contrasting styles and mediums, by the two exhibition artists. Joe Gilmore’s paintings are a lighthearted look at physical and spiritual intimacy within the home, inspired by the eight days he spent without power in the aftermath of Super Storm Sandy. During that time, the artist reflected on two very important lessons: the importance of nesting and what people do during a blackout. Tom Egan’s photography is part of his long term project to document New York City’s underground club scene, especially the Burning Man subculture. Regular parties that spring up throughout Manhattan and it’s boroughs are showplaces for outrageous clothes, exciting performances and flamboyant personalities. The exhibited images represent a series of moments captured in 2012.

Gallery information can be obtained on the website www.hob-art.org and from the Director, France Garrido, 201-319-1504 or director@hob-art.org.

Issyra Gallery Presents exhibit “Transculturalism” November 9th 5:30pm-9:30pm

Filed under: Art Gallery,art show,Hoboken — Tags: , , , , , — TheBoken @ 2:55 PM

The recently opened Issyra Gallery, which specializes in African Art has another exhibit coming soon to Hoboken…

Issyra Gallery, the Hoboken African art gallery

is proud to present the exhibit “Transculturalism”

“Transculturalism is defined as “seeing oneself in the other”. Transcultural is in turn described as “extending through all human cultures“or “involving, encompassing, or combining elements of more than one culture“.*

On the Friday 9th of November Issyra Gallery in Hoboken will be hosting a unique exhibit featuring two artists: Darin Defield and Ronnie Mae Painter.

Hoboken African Art - Issyra Gallery

Darin Defield’s mixed media collage explore race, gender, sexuality, and identity. He will present his famous “Head Series” collection. Many of these heads appear to be fixed representations of indigenous tribal masks and many can be interpreted as spiritual leaders, masters and gurus that are derived from African sculpture as archaeological artifacts being recovered.

Ronnie Mae painter, who was interviewed on the eye witness news story about the opening of the Hoboken African Art gallery last month (http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=news/lifestyle&id=8816882).  Ronnie will present her black Madonna series by explaining her techniques and inspiration. This series on drop cloth canvas, using acrylic paint and graphite pencil embodies spirits whose chest bones and spines are gray white crucifixes or hash marks which represent life’s injustices. The Madonnas are always faced with a dilemma. What to touch? What to hold on to? What to reach out for? What to connect to in life, in this moment. Some of the Madonnas are wracked with pain and have organs for the whole world to see.

The works of these two artists is in harmony with the gallery’s collection of traditional African art. According to Issa sow, the gallery’s curator “it is the reunion of two continents, of contemporary and traditional African art – we could nearly call this exhibit tolerance”

Issyra Gallery welcomes art collector, dealerships and the public to discover this unique exhibit on Friday November 9th from 5:30pm to 9:30pm 313 First Street, Hoboken NJ

Please RSVP at issyragallery@gmail.com

Below is info on a new art exhibit called “Alternate Relaities” which is at the Monroe Art Center’s hob’art gallery. The opening reception is onSaturday, September 15 , 5 – 8pm. The show runs through October 7th.  With the Summer winding down there is still plenty to do in Hoboken.

Alternate Realities
Saturday, September 15 – Sunday, October 7, 2012

Monroe Art Center
720 Monroe Street, E208, Hoboken, NJ 07030
Saturday and Sunday, 12 to 5pm and by appointment.
Artists’ Reception: Saturday, September 15 , 5 – 8pm

On Saturday, September 15  the exhibition, Alternative Realities will open at the hob’art gallery, 720 Monroe Street, Hoboken, NJ and continue through October 7th.  A reception to meet the artists will be held on Saturday, September 15, 5 – 8pm. Gallery hours are Saturday and Sunday, 12 to 5pm and by appointment. The artists thank the Monroe Art Center and the hob’art gallery for their support of this exhibition.

The “Alternative Realities” show brings together three of hob’art’s photographers in a way that contrasts their styles.  The emphasis  is to highlight how these artists approach a medium in very alternate ways to create a diversity of results.

Long time hob’art member Ann Kinney is searching for the elusive place between the photograph, which captures a moment in time, and the elements of line, form and color. She explores these principles in the places and people she encounters. Tom Egan’s photography combines landscape, fashion and documentation following the local ‘Burning Man’ subculture. This visually explosive scene is thriving in the New York Metropolitan area but is largely unseen by people outside of those who participate. This set of photos will explore the local parties and events as well as the Burning Man festival itself. Don Sichler’s work focuses on finding wild and beautiful images where you least expect it. Don calls the photos in this exhibit “Reflections on Autos.” The extreme distortions of shapes and colors in the photos of automobile will amaze the viewer. This exhibit promises to have something for every art enthusiast with many surprises thrown in.

Gallery information can be obtained on the website www.hob-art.org and from the Director, France Garrido, 201-319-1504 or director@hob-art.org.

Issyra African Art Gallery Open at Jefferson Trust Building in Hoboken

Filed under: Art Gallery,art show,Hoboken — Tags: , , , , — TheBoken @ 4:10 PM

Jefferson Trust Building Instagram

Issyra Gallery – The  Hoboken African Art Gallery has opened its doors to the public this week.

After several months of preparation, the Issyra Gallery situated 313 First Street in the Jefferson Trust Historical Building is now ready to welcome visitors. The Sow family, a mixed family from Africa and the USA, have lived in Europe for the majority of their lives. They decided to move to Hoboken when Rebecca, Issa Sow’s wife, was asked to relocate for her career. They literally fell in love with the charm of Hoboken and therefore decided to open up a gallery in this town in order to share their passion for African art and culture. They have a strong desire to contribute actively in Hoboken’s rich cultural life.

Their aim is to promote talented contemporary African artists in order to fight against a tendency in the art world to only value antique African art. Indeed, the Sow family believe that this attitude stifles the growth of African Art that is in fact a “living art”. These artists have learned their technique and style as it was passed down from generation to generation.

Issyra Gallery hopes that one day these artists will be recognized for their individual style and will be able to create a name for themselves. To further this aim, Issyra Gallery is creating an association to honor African artists by providing them with the tools they need to perpetuate the transmission of their artwork. Issyra Gallery will contribute a percentage of their sales to this charity once fully created.

Issyra Gallery is a truly African Gallery…from the traditional and contemporary objects in its collection to the way the gallery is laid out!

Feel free to come and visit: Monday to Wednesday 11:00am to 7pm, Thursday to Saturday 11:00am to 09:00pm and Sunday 12:00 to 5pm. Private appointments also available at 201-459-0700 or 917-922-2690.

The  grand opening in planned to be on Thursday September 20th.
