“Current Circumstances” by John Fitzsimmons

An exhibition by John Fitzsimmons will include new works and recent figurative works.  He categorizes his three distinct bodies of work as Figurative Paintings, Etchings, and Nature Paintings.  A native of Central New York and graduate of the Art Academy of Cincinnati, Fitzsimmons continued to paint and draw after graduation, but his life took a different direction.  To learn more about the artist’s path from past to present, visit his website.

“Humorous Ferrous” by Edwin Falk

Summer offers the weather and outdoor spaces to best display the oversized creative work of sculptor Edwin Falk, whose repurposed machinery parts of rusty, naturally oxidized iron and other odds and ends will form an imaginative exhibit inside and outside the 401 Gallery. Watch for more details about where his whimsical statutes will be located in Canal Place.
