On Tuesday, February 25th, I visited the Novado Gallery in the downtown area of Jersey City. I had originally intended to visit the deep space gallery, but they are open to appointment only on most days of the week. With that being said, the Novado gallery was quite enjoyable. Various artists along with various different mediums were on display on the gallery. Despite the small space, the gallery used it’s limited area well. All of the workers were able to breathe and felt they all had their proper places.
Works ranging from OIl on canvas, various mixed media works, metal canvases, clay moldings, metal casting and various other works with acrylic and other mediums of paint and mixing. It was very inspiring to see all of these works made in various and even ‘mundane’ ways. It helped open the veil much wider in concerns to breaking into the art field as a full-time artist, and not simply someone looking into ‘growing’ into an artist proper, but realizing you already are a proper artist, and to kick into a high gear to get things moving in the right direction. Various works their were very abstract, reminiscent of flowing electricity, energy or a representation of technology, while some works evoked the same imagery as a household wall or closet door. The 3-d works took great care with interacting within a 3-d environment, while some of the paintings evoked the same imagery as religious and renaissance paintings, but using alot fewer oranges, focusing on blues and whites.
