“RITA’S DISHES”: This oil painting by Jeanne Chesterton is part of the 10th annual Points of View Art Show, which will be on display at the Saw Mill at Prallsville Mill in Stockton on August 23, 25 and 26. An opening celebration will be held on Friday, August 23 from 5 to 8 p.m.
The first Points of View Art Show was held in September 2014. Ten years later, Jeanne Chesterton and Ilene Rubin are hosting their 10th Points of View Art Show, beginning with a reception on August 23rd from 5-8pm. The show will continue on Saturday, August 24th and Sunday, August 25th from noon-5pm at the Saw Mill at Prallsville Mill, 33 Risler Street in Stockton.
This year, Chesterton and Rubin will exhibit their art alongside artists Cheryl Bomba, Jill LeClair, Mike Mann and Beth Schoenleber. All artwork is for sale.
Chesterton and Rubin have found that combining talent and location to exhibit and sell art is successful and rewarding. The art complements each other, although they are all very different. All of the artists are well-known, have won awards, and bring a unique voice and interpretation to the fine arts community.
There is something for everyone, with little to no overlap in style or range. It’s a unique mix with a wide price range.
Chesterton paints still lifes reminiscent of classical realism. She is particularly drawn to ordinary, everyday objects that show the beauty of age and wear. The patina of tarnished metals and discolored enamelware, worn surfaces and damaged edges are of particular interest. The staging of the tableau is important and often requires many changes to achieve visual harmony. The interplay of lines, shapes, colors and patterns is intended to suggest a dialogue between the main characters, which in turn invites the viewer to participate.
Rubin is a self-taught, award-winning artist who works primarily in oils but also uses pastel, pencil, and watercolor in a painterly, representational style. Her influences range from Caravaggio to Monet and Corot, and she admits she’s learned something enlightening from every artist before her and every teacher she’s had. What she finds most moving is the ever-changing landscape, and she captures each one in a way that allows the viewer to step inside and immerse themselves in moments of a place filled with an environment that feels so familiar, yet timeless.
