Artist repurposes used
panels, canvases
The public is invited to a free opening reception of “Leonid Shower,” an exhibit by Monroeville resident Jay Winter, from 6 to 8 p.m. Nov. 9 in the Monroeville Public Library Gallery Space.
A retired geologist, Winter’s artwork is inspired by the Earth and sky and features large-format paintings of woods, bogs and the night skies. Winter repurposes salvaged wooden panels and old canvases to create new works through a process of layering chromatic and tonal colors. This technique is a reflection of the natural layering of sediments found on Earth and in cosmic particles.
Winter’s work is influenced by his love of music; several pieces in the showcase are named after the songs he listens to while creating.His paintings will be on display through Nov. 23 at the library, 4000 Gateway Campus Blvd.
