OTHER ARTISTS
Elizabeth Rosen has her work on exhibit at East Haddam's Village Gallery run by Hans Lohse and Chris DiErrico | The work is rich and vibrant with color | I got to chat with her, briefly, and compare notes on formal vs informal training | After I made a comment about some of her work [plays on 20th century artists, the vibrant colors, Caribbean "flavor" of some work] she commented that some have been surprised, upon meeting her, that she wasn't African American | Stereotyping creativity I suppose | I was particularly intrigued by some of her recent work, such as the one on the side of this column | She's been going to tag sales, buying quirky curios, talking with the folks selling the stuff, then making a "portrait" of the folks from the items she purchased at the sale |
The opening was at the Village Gallery, as noted | I'd had a long day, got home late missing Bruce and his mom's leave to the event | Stopped at home long enough to freshen up and change clothes | Then off to dinner at La Vita Gustosa with Bruce and Lynn afterwards going to the opening so I could people watch |
The setting was pleasant, at once cozy and sophisticated | Sitting on the side of the yard, the place looked every bit as cosmopolitan as P'Town or Rehobeth Beach | The second photo is the bar setup at the opening | Good times had by all |
