“objex.desire” Solo Exhibition Opens
January 31
Works
by Lisa Ficarelli-Halpern at CVA Gallery, Lincroft
The
Center for Visual Arts (CVA) Gallery at Brookdale Community College will host “objex.desire,”
a solo exhibition by Lisa Ficarelli-Halpern from January 31 – February 29,
2012. The artist’s reception is scheduled for Tuesday, February 7th
from 4:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. (snow date: Wednesday, February 8th from
4:30 p.m. -7:30 p.m.) The show includes recent original prints, sculpture and
more than two dozen paintings in oil on canvas and oil on linen. The works are
inspired by classical Dutch ‘vanitas’ works and feature the
juxtaposition of familiar objects that range from traditional to contemporary. Recalling the content and technical virtuosity
of old masterworks, Ficarelli-Halpern’s paintings provide a visual feast as
well as an expressive message. As in the Dutch still lifes, her objects have
both symbolic and referential significance. The CVA Gallery is located on
the Lincroft main campus of Brookdale Community College, 765 Newman Springs
Road, Lincroft. It is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. and
by appointment. Admission is free. For additional information, and directions
to the exhibition, please call the Center for Visual Arts Gallery at Brookdale
