THE NEW LIGHT STUDIO GALLERY TO PRESENT "ARTISTS AMONGST US" FINE ART EXHIBITION Collection will include original oil paintings from the children of Kids in Distress
The exhibition will include new paintings by resident artists Wendy White and Roland Ruocco. The show will also feature artworks from noted New York curator and artist, Vee and Brazilian born, passionate figurative artist, Hegina Rodrigues and Boca Raton impressionist, Terry Rabinor along with pieces submitted by art students who participate in the New Light Studio's weekly art classes. In addition there will be a presentation of original oil paintings created by the children from the Kids in Distress organization who take part in weekly art workshops provided exclusively by the New Light Foundation. Proceeds of any artworks offered for sale by the young artists will be donated directly to the Kids in Distress organization. Wendy White will show her latest creations in her "Abstract Impressionism" style. In her newest oil on canvases, she incorporates the passion of the modern day expressionists by utilizing the techniques of the old masters, to "paint the light." White's atmospheric oil paintings reflect rhythmic waves of light resulting in an outburst of an infinite amount of colors on her paintings. Roland Ruocco's latest works in the "South Florida School of Art" theme employ his vision of tropical landscape interpretation. "These paintings are about aspects of light, and sky, which I feel are the most compelling aspects of our natural landscape - the subtle yet awesome effects of light on the color and form of palms and ocean to form a tapestry that is simultaneously serene and dynamic." He will also have additional pieces in his "Modern Times" series, a collection punctuated with social and political commentary. Ruocco uses a variety of painting styles in mixed media that include graffiti elements. These works depict fear, complacency, omnipotence and the need for peace, love and brotherhood. The New Light Gallery donates a percentage of its art sales to its scholarship fund and New Light Foundation to promote the arts and community outreach. Wendy White and Roland Ruocco have a following in New York and Europe, they are in their second year in their working art studio and gallery in South Florida. The exhibition,
