For more than 60 years, Roberta Friedman and Stanley Friedman have created memories — literally and in their respective artwork. LIFETIME/LIFELINE: A COLLABORATION is an exhibit of their complementary works and will be on view from October 31- November 30. There will be an Opening Reception on Sunday, November 2 from 2-5 p.m., and an Artists’ Talk and demonstration of creating an encaustic monotype on Sunday, November 16 at 2 p.m.
Roberta Friedman, a long-time member of City Gallery, continues her work in encaustic monotype, cold wax and collage. She has recently had her work included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Encaustic Art, Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Stanley Friedman is adept at, and enamored by, technologies and their creative potential. His photographs exemplify his tireless interest in the universe and its secrets.
“This work, exhibited together for the first time, is our way of acknowledging a lifetime of connection and parallel paths,” says Roberta, “All of which has been honed from shared and individual journeys.”
The exhibit poster includes a photo of two wine glasses, taken by Roberta’s father, Harold Schwartz, around 1945 at the end of the war, and brings the idea of memory into full focus.
The exhibit, LIFETIME/LIFELINE: A COLLABORATION, and the Opening Reception are free and open to the public. City Gallery is located at 994 State Street, New Haven, CT 06511. Gallery hours are Friday - Sunday, 12 p.m. - 4 p.m., or by appointment. For further information please contact City Gallery, info@city-gallery.org, www.city-gallery.org.
