With a portfolio of work found in studios\, professional offices\, and private collections\, his style captivates viewers worldwide. \nMastering the “drip” technique over years of dedication\, Grimaldi infused his distinct flair into this iconic method. Seeking innovation\, he adapted the technique to diverse surfaces\, including elevated vertical planes\, without revealing traditional “drips.” \nHe also envisioned reimagining the spectrum of objects suitable for this style\, enriching each with narrative depth and emotive resonance. Through meticulous\nexperimentation\, Grimaldi perfected the fusion of paint type and application method\, achieving his envisioned results. \nEvery creation bears the essence of his soul\, ensuring each piece is a singular\, unparalleled original. Rejecting mass production\, he remains committed to the authenticity of his craft\, eschewing prints in favor of genuine\, intimate artworks. \nMark lives in Lake George. His work is shown at the Tivoli Arts Gallery in Tivoli\, NY\, and Art Gallery 71 in Rhinebeck\, NY\, and can be seen at markgrimaldi.com.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJude Dolton\nYou see something\, you pull out your camera and take the picture.  That picture is almost exactly what you see in front of you right?  That’s what photography is at its core\, it’s a way to capture the world.  Since almost everyone has a camera in their pocket\, we are seeing the same photos over\, and over.  The more I have noticed this\, the more I have turned away from just documenting what I’m seeing.  Using long exposures\, I have been taking a more impressionistic approach.  I use the term Impressionism because much like the paintings from that era\, even with objects and subject matter you can identify the work is very much still abstract. \nJude Dolton is a 2019 graduate of Glens Falls High School. In 2022 they received a grant to photograph and document local motel signs resulting in a solo exhibition at the Warren County Historical Society.  She has exhibited locally with the Lower Adirondack Regional Arts Council\, North Country Arts\, and The Folklife Center at Crandall Library. Their work was also featured in the Top 100 Juried High School Student Art Show at The Hyde Collection (2018). She currently studies Visual Arts at Alfred University\, Alfred\, NY. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nProject Local \nCaldwell-Lake George Library 336 Canada Street Lake George \nExhibition Reception Thursday\, December 18\, 2024 6:00 – 8:00 PM \nLibrary Hours: Monday – Friday: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM Saturday: 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/project-local-at-the-caldwell-lake-george-library/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Projectlocalevent11.12.24Instagram-Post-1920-x-1080-px-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241113T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241215T170000 DTSTAMP:20260419T142723 CREATED:20241108T220653Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241126T181956Z UID:16386-1731499200-1734282000@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Ali Herrmann: Cosmic Landscape DESCRIPTION:Artist’s Reception Thursday\, November 14th 5:00 – 7:00 PM The Courthouse Gallery\nImage: The Sweetest Things \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n SUNDAY ARTS Sunday\, November 17th 1:00 – 4:00 PM Drop in for a gallery visit and art making Fun for ALL ages\nFree\nImage:  Reasons to Breathe \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nSUNDAY ARTS Sunday\, December 15th 1:00 – 4:00 PM Drop in for a gallery visit and art making for\nALL ages!\nFree\nImage:  Flurries \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Artist’s Statment \nI create primarily as a multi-media painter\, working with diverse materials of encaustic\, acrylic\, ink\, oil\, and paper collage. I allow the piece to dictate the medium; therefore\, one medium may feed the color saturation\, while another may best enhance shape\, form and pattern. My work is heavily influenced by the natural world\, my surroundings\, color\, repetition and patterns. I am also inspired by the binary energies of chaos and order\, growth and decay. Within my paintings\, I combine elements of representation and abstraction to show this inspiration\, while incorporating a strong sense of beauty. \nMy artwork often starts with an ordered approach while my ideas get outlined on the surface. Influenced by color\, shapes\, and light\, the process of painting develops with many layers. Repetitious forms and patterns emerge\, creating abstract and playful landscapes. My abstractions reflect the journeys and paths we discover in the process of living amidst this natural order. The repetition of object and form attempts to further understand and interpret the natural rhythmic order of the universe—micro and macro—as exhibited by the natural things all around us. \nMy focus is driven by my desire to understand how individual elements and pieces come together to create a whole. My current works use cellular structures as a point of reference. Using ovals and circles as my primary shape\, I begin with a repetition of these shapes to create an abstract environment into which these shapes move along the two-dimensional surface. Working in layers\, I create a floating environment that can be cellular\, floral\, or purely abstract. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Artist’s Bio \nAli Herrmann is a mixed media painter based in Troy\, NY.
