LAKE GEORGE — The Courthouse Gallery will host an online event in conjunction with a new solo exhibition featuring the work of D. Jack Solomon. The online talk with the artist takes place 4 p.m. Sept. 26.
D. Jack Solomon’s vibrant paintings are a complex mix of imagery, often whimsical, with rich colors and surfaces. Working from a red undercoat creates luminous eye-popping effects where the red paint is exposed. It also serves to unify the contrasting forms weaving through the painting's intricate space. Solomon draws from many sources, including early modernism, surrealism, abstract expressionism, pop art and cartoon imagery, to name a few. But Solomon finds inspiration everywhere.
“There is not a day that goes by that I am not inspired by something or someone. I’m very grateful for this,” said Solomon, who lives in Hudson. Finding inspiration from so many places has led to a prolific painting career spanning many decades.
The Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets, Lake George. Hours during exhibitions are Wednesday through Friday 12 – 5 p.m., Saturday 12 – 4 p.m., and all other times by appointment. The exhibition will be installed in the gallery, and available for public to view. For more information and how to join the discussion, please go to: lakegeorgearts.org.
