The Sovereign Bank will host an exhibition of photographs by photographer Andrea Milo now through May 26, 2012, entitled “Look Closely”, with a reception on Saturday May 19th from 11am-noon. The show features photographs which invite a second look – Ms. Milo’s photographs aim to capture subtle elements of beauty and wonder in the everyday, and examine our relationship and emotional connection to our environment.

Ms. Milo is a Hoboken resident who has been exhibiting her photographs in New Jersey and New York since 2001. She has also participated in group shows in Boston, Montreal and Rome, and has been published in Frommers.com, the Irish Voice, NJ Monthly magazine, and NJ.com. Clients include Starbucks and Prentice Hall.

Please join photographer Andrea Milo and hob’art members at the closing reception on May 19th. {see below}

Artists: Liz Cohen, Starr Tucker-Ortega, Willie Baez, Donna Doherty, Erich Heinemann

Early on Saturday morning a small group of hob’art members gathered at the hob’art co-operative gallery, to share their most intimate studio explorations and experiments.

Marking the gallery’s first of regularly scheduled critique meetings, the artists, gathered together and showed their vulnerability by hanging works to be critiqued by their peers.

Artists: Erich Heinemann & Willie Baez

Sharing what artists do in a very isolated practice in an effort to gain feedback and insight. As a result they are inspired by what was discussed, seen and felt in an effort to define images or ideas, resolve issues, and see through another’s eyes something that may be fleeting yet within their grasp.

The value is immeasurable on the journey of art making.

Artists who took part this month were:

Liz Cohen
Starr Tucker-Ortega
Willie Baez
Donna Doherty
Erich Heinemann
Connie Ftera

All members of hob’art are invited along to the regular critique group held approximately every month {please check the calendar}

Silhouettes is the new exhibition at the hob’art gallery in The Monroe Art Center by members Patrick Deshayes, Joe Gilmore and Neri Orozco.

Patrick Deshayes: ‘In every sense, a line’. His ‘line’ theme was inspired by an essay about Baudelaire, comparing the writer’s pen to a    painter’s brush. In the mist of broken, curved, round and spiraling lines, silhouettes appear and disappear to surprise and delight.

Joe Gilmore: I’m dealing with my emotional connection to my ancestors in this continuation of “My Ancestors were Beautiful” and having fun with it through the use of color and whimsy.

Neri Orozco: My work is diverse sometimes pervers- all over abstract to magical reality. 
Often heavily political and very funny to some while offending others.
