Realism Unbound: Contemporary Representational Art in New Jersey
November 6, 2009 - February 14, 2010
Realistic, yet not completely true to life, this exhibition pushes the boundaries of representational painting. Renowned artists from the garden state present images of the real world in interior spaces as well as pure plein air landscape. The concept is further explored when the spaces begin to move, take alternate shapes and become transparent.
The common link between these exhibitors is artist Lois Dodd. Dodd is one of the most widely respected painters in America. Her long career involves a steady presence in New Jersey. She set the path as a mentor and inspiration to the entire group. It has now also reflected the mentorship of Mel Leipzig. As a community of artists, not simply the individual, they grow together. Their work shows implications of the impact and influence of each other. The artist’s personal journey or identity is absolutely evident; still there is a common foundation. New Jersey is another major factor in the inspiration of the group. They have spent many hours painting together in Northern Jersey.
Artists: Rita Baragona, Robert Birmelin, Paul Carrellas, Lois Dodd, Jeff Epstein, Daniel Finaldi, Leslie Hertzog, Lynn Kotula, Barbara Kulicke, Arthur Kvarnstrom, Mel Leipzig, Terri McNichol, Harry I. Naar, Deborah Nelson, Elizabeth O’Reilly, Linda Pochesci, Kyle M. Stevenson, St. Clair Sullivan

Transduction: Myths of The Sea and The Solar Boat,
Susan Reese Horvitz and Robert Roesch
January 21 - May 23, 2010
A mystical installation of sculptures, large scale drawings, paintings, and works on
glass will go on view January 21 until May 23, 2010 at The Noyes Museum of Art. In this exhibition,
Suzanne Reese Horvitz and Robert Roesch present another imaginative collaboration titled Transduction:
Myths of the Sea and the Solar Boat. The pair’s projects and themes have traveled the world and can be
seen in museum collections both nationally and internationally. They have received numerous awards,
fellowships and opportunities as Cultural Advisors to US Embassies in Egypt, Syria, Argentina, Ecuador
and Myanmar. These have allowed them to exhibit and conduct workshops throughout the world.
Horvitz (www.suzannehorvitz.com) will display poetic mixed media works, glass panels and myth-like
paintings, some of which include gold and silver leaf on aluminum. Her artwork often offers a mythical
narrative and is done by reverse painting, screening, sand blasting and gilding on glass, aluminum, or
canvas. Her newest work plays with formal balance by exploring the idea of mirror image and twins.
Translucent figures entwine, while merging with text and landscape to create surrealistic and mystical
effects. The richly gilded metallic surfaces convey splendor, representing dreams and the world on the
wrong side of the looking glass.
Roesch (www.robertroesch.com), head of the sculpture department at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine
Art, contributes several large scale pieces to the exhibit which include metal sculpture and wall works.
His recent works include blue solar powered lights which celebrate renewable energy and create solutions
to our environmental situation. Roesch’s sculptures, mixed media pieces and drawings explore and define
the moment between shifting realities, “the place in-between”. Roesch is intrigued by contrasting planes
at their moment of intersection and the transference of energy between the two forces.
Much of the work of these two artists is inspired by journeys on their sail boat “Siren”. Susan has been
inspired by the story of Ulysses and the Sirens, a metaphor for the allure and danger inherent in beauty
and splendor. Large-scale drawings referencing boats engage the viewer to ponder the magical connection
of man and sea. Robert’s adventures as a sailor have fostered a deep appreciation of the synergy of the
sun, wind and water. He values the functionally-beautiful boat forms used throughout history to move
through the waters of the world. Works in the exhibition include: The Solar Boat installation created by
Roesch specifically for this exhibition, involving a digital projection onto a solar lit table supported by
metal spires. Sirens by Horvitz, communicates a mystical ambiance along with tones of real life.
