International street artist Gaia, curator of the murals for the 2015 O+ Festival in Kingston, NY, wowed all with this spectacular floral mural “Pronkstilleven” (Dutch for 'ostentatious', 'ornate' or 'sumptuous' still life) painted on the Stuyvesant building on Fair Street in the historic section of Kingston, NY. Festival organizers chronicled the process of the painting of the mural with this impressive time-lapse video shown above.

Gaia’s studio work, installations and gallery projects have been exhibited throughout the world, including The Baltimore Museum of Art, Rice Gallery and Palazzo Collicola Arti Visive. His street work has been documented and featured in several books on urban art, including “Beyond the Street: The 100 Leading Figures in Urban Art” (Berlin, 2010). Gaia in 2014 was named to Forbes 30 Under 30 list in Art and Style.

Barrett Art Center: "Envisioning Dutchess" Art Exhibition, June 3 — July 2, 2016

May 23, 2016 rita tantillo

Barrett Art Center presents its exhibition Envisioning Dutchess on Friday, June 3, 2016, to celebrate its 80th Anniversary. The exhibition features local artists’ visions of Dutchess County. Envisioning Dutchess represents invited artists and community organizations' personal interpretations of Dutchess County through a variety of scenes and subjects. Director Joanna Frang notes, “With the artwork displayed together like quilt squares, you can really see how our diverse community can get in touch with the many diverse points of view – quite literally with their different visions of Dutchess hanging side by side.”

The opening reception will include a silent auction of the works of two past Barrett supporters, artists Lewis Rubenstein and Sam Rein.

Poughkeepsie Train Station, Sam Rein (1925-2007), will be offered at Silent Auction at the Opening Reception (courtesy Barrett Art Center), as well as an exhibition poster. — *Poughkeepsie Train Station,* Sam Rein (1925-2007), will be offered at Silent Auction at the Opening Reception (courtesy Barrett Art Center), as well as an exhibition poster.
