A new collection of oil paintings by award winning landscape artist Christine Graefe Drewyer will be featured at  Bucks County Gallery of Fine Art  from  October 5 -the 28,  2012.

The show titled "In the Moment" is a metaphor for this body of work that is intended to portray an immediate sense of time and place.

The landscape is more than a geographical location. These pieces communicate a spirit of beauty which is created by the way that atmospheric conditions and light brings life to the paintings.

It is these very conditions which give the paintings their true value. This work evokes a connection to the land and imbues the viewer with a sense of timeless memory that can only be captured one moment at a time. The feature painting titled "The Messenger", a 30x24 oil on canvas, congers an indication of harmony between humankind and the natural world, instilling a feeling of hope and connectivity.

Also included in the exhibit will be some of Christine's still life and figurative paintings.

Join us for a cocktail reception hosted at the gallery on Saturday October 6, from 2-5 pm.

September 1, 2011 (NEW HOPE, PA) – Bucks County Gallery of Fine Art in New Hope, PA, will open a major exhibition of recent works by contemporary abstract artist Jeanne Bessette. titled “Figuratively Speaking”. The artist’s reception will be held on Saturday, Oct. 1, from 4 - 6 p.m. The event will also feature a live painting demonstration on Saturday afternoon between 2 - 4 pm. The show runs through October 30.

Her current works have evolved from her pure abstracts which, she says, provide “the “homes” and landscape in which her figures live and breathe. According to Bucks County Gallery owner and director Howard Cooperman, “Bessette’s process reveals itself in layers of complicated emotions, childlike wonder and limpid transparency. Her works are vibrant, glowing and seemingly alive.”
Cooperman describes the 20 plus canvas pieces in the show as “powerful, playful and must-haves. She shares all of herself and holds nothing back. She’s prolific, to be sure – with growing interest in her work nationally.”
“If you’ve ever kicked yourself for missing an artist on the upswing before they achieve national prominence, take advantage of this opportunity to meet Jeanne Bessette now,” Cooperman advised.

Join us for a cocktail reception featuring Jeanne's most recent paintings and meet her on October 1st between 2 & 6pm and watch as she completes a painting live before your eyes. The show runs October 1 - 30.
