‘Generations’ encompasses the work of father and son

MILFORD, PA—The Bluestone Gallery at 104 East Ann Street will hold an exhibit of new works by solo artist Adam Lowenbein, along with work of his late father Michael Lowenbein. The exhibit, titled “Generations,” will run from November 13 through January 15, 2010, with an artist’s reception on Saturday, November 21 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.

“My father Michael painted the people, places and things he lived. He painted only what he believed was essential in a picture,” said Adam Lowenbein. “My work is a more contemplative experience and employs natural imagery such as birds, foliage and landscape as well as unnatural images that appear through free association. I endeavor to create a resonant moment out of chaos—a kind of meditative escape.”
