Rothman's Gallery in Southold will be having an opening reception for regional Artist Vincent Quatroche Sr. who will have an exhibition of selected work at ART in Southold
on Long Island. Vincent Quatroche Sr. was a vibrant, productive artist working in a number of mediums and styles. From abstract, cubist, pop-art (both in oils and tempera), to more traditional, conservative techniques and subjects, Quatroche employed a highly individualist style that evolved continually during his lifetime. His early influences were variations on the themes of Pollack and Picasso. As his creative production which numbered in hundreds of canvases, sketches and notebooks spanned over half a century, Vincent consistently challenged himself to grow and express his talents with a variety of subject matter. His great love of the history of trains from steam to diesel figured prominently. Still life, landscapes of the sea, landscapes and portraits were also constant themes rendered in pen, ink and watercolors. In his latter years he returned to the impressionist treatment of another of his lifelong loves, Jazz and the great musicians who were giants in this art form. He continued to work up to within weeks of his demise at the age of 89 on Easter Sunday 2011 During the opening a celebration of generational creative collaboration will be presented with his son, educator and poet Vincent Quatroche Jr. performing audio based spoken word inspired and incorporated into his father’s work.
There will also be Live music with a special Acoustic performance by TAOST, and refreshments served. This event is free (Donations Accepted)
This opening will be held Sat. July 9th 5-7 PM
at Rothman's Gallery, 54100 Route 25/Main Street, Southold, NY 11971
