BETHEL — Table Rock Arts Center’s exhibition, “Anne Richter with Dan Greenfeld” will run from July 13 through Aug. 11.
Richter is a painter, and Greenfeld is a sculptor.
TRAC will hold an artists’ reception 5 to 5:30 p.m. Saturday, July 13, at 162 Main St., Bethel; the event is open to the public.
Hailing from New York City, Richter is a fifth-generation Greenwood summer camp resident. She is a noted artist with solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States and in Italy and Japan.
For 30 years, Richter has taught art; “Creative Pathways” is her seminar on creativity. Greenfeld, her husband, began making art and ceramics later in life and was inspired by his wife. He was captivated by the Japanese aesthetic and culture in which ceramics — sculptural and functional — is a revered art form.
“Before I began making sculptures, I made teapots, tea bowls and vases, with strong sculptural elements, and my work was shown in a number of group shows and galleries,” says Greenfeld. “From my first involvement in ceramics I searched for a surface that would be comparable in spirit to the surfaces in certain abstract expressionist paintings and historic Japanese ceramics. I decided on extended firings in a wood burning kiln and built one near Schenectady, N.Y., in 2009. I began making abstract sculptures in 2012 and have enjoyed seeing that work evolve.”
Table Rock Arts Center plans to host a talk — “The Importance of Place” _– _ with Richter and Greenfeld in late July or early August. Details will be forthcoming.
