The Art Association of Oswego is proud to present a new art exhibition in the Timothy McHenry Gallery beginning Saturday, May 1. The show, called Captured Moments, is a series of alla prima paintings by SUNY Oswego senior Sophie Infarinato of Oneida, NY. She was recently awarded a Student Scholarly and Creative Activity grant, where she was given the necessary funds to make a comprehensive body of work.
Infarinato’s series consists of 50 new small-scale paintings, ranging from 5 x 7” to 8 x 10”. The subject matter is diverse, including still lives, portraits, interiors, and landscapes. The artwork emphasizes the beauty of the commonplace. The artist states, “The paintings showcase ordinary moments from my everyday life and represent the act of painting as a time of reflection, introspection and learning about myself, my environment, and my purpose as a painter”.
This exhibition will be on display until Sunday, May 23. The Art Association of Oswego is housed in The Oswego Civic Arts Center at the northernmost end of East 4th Street, across from Fort Ontario. Regular gallery hours are from 10 am to 1 pm on Saturdays and from 1 pm to 4 pm on Sundays. For information on other exhibitions and classes, check the AAO website www.oswegoarts.org.
