We invite you to join us this Saturday Night for "Beyond Dreamland"

Each month in 2012 Paris In Plantsville will be showcasing an independently made film (or film shorts) with a connection to the local film community.
April's screening is "Beyond Dreamland", directed by Alex Fuller, the feature-length documentary about a world-class rock drummer who is enduring the severe after-effects of a long battle against stomach cancer (surrounded by loads of comic relief). Made in Connecticut!
 

 The screening is on April 21, doors open at 7:00 PM, with the film starting at 8:00 PM. As with all our screenings it is a free event, but donations to the gallery are appreciated. The donations keep events like this happening!

We hope you join us 4/21/12!

Pinxit! and The Works of Cathy Michanczyk - Opening this Saturday 4/14

 PINIXT! And THE WORKS OF CATHY MICHANCZYK

 

Paris in Plantsville Gallery and Studio is pleased to announce the opening of "Pinxit: New Works by Sean Michanczyk & Eric Stegmaier", and "The Works of Cathy Michanczyk"on view from April 14 to May 1, 2012.

About the Artists:

Sean Michanczyk is a 2008 graduate of the Hartford Art School ( BFA illustration ). His work pays homage to old masters while keeping a contemporary trompe l’oeil edge. His tightly rendered paintings and keen sense of balance create harmonious story telling through symbolism. “ What it is, isn’t always what it is”.

Sean is the owner and founder of Paris In Plantsville Gallery & Studio. He and his Great Dane aptly named Paris reside in Southington, CT

Eric Stegmaier is a 2002 graduate of the Hartford Art School (BFA illustration) and a 2007 graduate of Sacred Heart University (MA religious studies). His work harmonizes tightly rendered and loosely gestural strokes, allowing him to direct the viewer’s eye not only through compositional placement, but also by selective detail.

Eric is an artist in residence at Paris in Plantsville and is the Senior Conservation Assistant in the Paintings Department at the Yale Center for British Art. He and his wife Heather currently reside in Southington, CT.
Cathy Michanczyk is a Southington Native, currently living in Plantsville.  Her works are a mix of still life, landscapes, and wonderful portraits of cats in oils, acrylics, and pencil.  Cathy has been on the Connecticut art scene since the early 1970's and has exhibited all over the state. We're proud to have Cathy in April to kick off our new gallery space as we expand Paris In Plantsville.

We look forward to seeing everyone Saturday night!

PINXT! - Opening Saturday 4/14

Paris in Plantsville Gallery and Studio is pleased to announce the opening of 
Pinxit: New Works by 
Sean Michanczyk & Eric Stegmaier
On view from April 14 to May 1, 2012.

Pinxit presents some 20 traditional and trompe l’oeil works completed by the award-winning artists over the past two years.
Michanczyk’s trompe l’oeils, with their rich palettes and traditional themes, successfully blend a Baroque style with modern materials and subjects.
Stegmaier’s work explores a vast range of natural, historical, and literary subjects in both charcoal and oils. His style, self-described as being “loosely tight”, reflects compositional complexity and attention to detail.
