October 1-29

At a group show, opening October 1, at the Plainsboro Public Library, 20 local artists will present their individual visions of peace.  The mixed media exhibition, entitled “Art for Peace,” will feature oil painting, acrylic painting, fiber art, sculpture, collage, giclee prints, charcoal, pastel and pencil work and found and reclaimed objects — all by members of the Artists’ Group that meets monthly at the library.

According to Paula Ridley, the group’s coordinator, members chose the theme for the exhibition.  She says that some of the work in the show depicts specific political issues, –such as the war in Ukraine. Other artists opted to present general images — like a soldier’s helmet and a hovering dove.  The exhibition includes both realistic and abstract work.

Exhibiting artists include Palak Amin, Arthur V. Areyan,Vimala Arunachalum, Leena Thakar-Bagawde, Ileana Balcu, Mousumi Banerjee, Terry Cummings, Susan Freeman, Bhagyashri Guhagarkar, Nelly Kouzmina, Art Lee, Sandhya Modi, Raji Ramachandruni,  Anandi Ramanathan, Elaine Rosenberg, Hiran Sarkar, J. Marion Simmons, Chanika Svetvilas, The-O, and Amiti Vernekar.
