“Beneath the Surface: Birthing Beauty”<br />
Opening Reception: Friday, June 7, 6 to 9 p.m.; On display thru June 30<br />
“Beneath the Surface” is a unique exhibition featuring Rebecca Darlington. Darlington<br />
takes a peek through women to reveal the ideal representation of their lives<br />
that they silently carry with them and hope to obtain. Her “Birthing Beauty” series<br />
of clear cast resin bodices illustrates the theme of seeing beneath the surface of a<br />
working woman to reveal the hidden wars of nurturing versus female sexuality<br />
versus professional choices. She examines the long term impact the little choices in<br />
this act of balancing make on our families and culture. Wardy presents his colorful<br />
abstract works in gouache on paper and paintings in acrylic. His pieces create art<br />
out of pure color, line, gesture, material and surface. Depth is created by the layers<br />
upon layers of surfaces, texture and sheer brillance of color. The exhibition is on<br />
view from June 7th through June 30th, with an artists reception on Friday, June<br />
7th, from 6 to 9 PM. Gallery 66 NY is located at 66 Main Street, Cold Spring, NY.<br />
For more information, call 845-809-5838 or go to www.gallery66ny.com.<br />
“Fashion as Art: A Matter of Taste”<br />
Opening Reception: Friday, June 7 from 6 to 9 p.m. On display thru June 30<br />
For those who see art as belonging solely in galleries, clothes only as something<br />
to wear, and good restaurants simply as bastions of fine food, June in Cold Spring<br />
will be a revelation – and a special treat! Gallery 66 NY, in cooperation with fash-<br />
e <strong>Putnam</strong> County <strong>Summer</strong> Festivities f

“Symmetry and Beauty”<br />
Friday, June 7, 6 to 9 p.m.<br />
“Symmetry and Beauty” by Edward Yashin, an artist that is also an architect and<br />
that profession informs his work. A master of technique when representing buildings,<br />
he also takes liberties to enhance their lines with the illusion of scaffolding<br />
surrounding their perimeters, punctuating their symmetry and beauty. Light and<br />
shade create dramatic effects and communicate the feel and sense of the city the<br />
building is placed within. Mysterious figures appear in windows and doorways,<br />
dressed for a night of intrigue or whatever meaning the viewer transfers onto their<br />
personage. A very rare opportunity to see the work of an artist who lives and works<br />
in the Ukraine. The exhibition is on view from June 7th through June 30th, with<br />
an artists reception on Friday, June 7th, from 6 to 9 p.m. Gallery 66 NY is located<br />
at 66 Main Street, Cold Spring, NY. For more information, call 845-809-5838 or go<br />
to www.gallery66ny.com.<br />
Color and Line in Motion: Paintings and Sculpture<br />
Opening Reception Friday, June 7th, 6 to 9 p.m. On display thru June 30<br />
On exhibition are Frederick Wardy’s abstract expressionist gouache on paper<br />
and acrylic on canvas works. These consist of gestural and painterly strokes and<br />
thinner gestural lines. The works radiate strong color, often with the substantial use<br />
of primaries. Sometimes the colors interact harmoniously; sometimes there is disharmony.<br />
The exhibition is on view from June 7th through June 30th, with an artists<br />
reception on Friday, June 7th. Gallery 66 NY is located at 66 Main Street, Cold<br />
Spring, NY. For information, call 845-809-5838 or go to www.gallery66ny.com.<br />
The Spirit of Color<br />
On display from June 7 thru June 30<br />
The Marina Gallery is pleased to announce “The Spirit of Color” an exhibition<br />
of exciting new works by Martee Levi. In her work, Martee explores the infinite<br />
variety of form and color in surprising and exuberant combinations. Her works<br />
have been exhibited in galleries, museums, and universities, both in the United<br />
Sates and in Europe. “The Spirit of Color” opens with a reception with the artist on<br />
Friday, June 7th, from 6 to 8 pm. The exhibition is on view from June 7th through<br />
June 30th at the Marina Gallery located at 153 Main St. in Cold Spring, NY. For<br />
information call 845-265-2204. Gallery hours are Thursday — Sunday from 12-6,<br />

prominence in the 1940’s. Filled with clever lyrics and dynamic characters, it is sure<br />
to be a crowd pleaser. City of Angels will be performed at the Performing Arts Center<br />

‘Fantastical Beasts’<br />
Opening Reception: Friday, August 2 from 6 to 9 p.m.<br />
“Fantastical Beasts” is a unique exhibition of plaster sculpted bas relief imaginary<br />
beasts by Suzanne Langle. Her work involves seeing and remembering the movements,<br />
gestures and objects that intrigue her, translating them into drawing, sculpture<br />
and painting. When Langle starts a piece she really don’t know where it’s going<br />
to take her, but as it continues it becomes a conversation. The particular way in<br />
which this process takes over remains a mystery. Inspiration comes from many diverse<br />
sources: the curve of a dog’s ear, the microscopic made visible, sharp abstract<br />
shapes and winged beasts; manifesting into a vision with her work. The exhibition is<br />
on view from August 2nd through September 2nd. Gallery 66 NY, 66 Main St., Cold<br />
Spring, NY. For information, call 845-809-5838 or go to www.gallery66ny.com.<br />
