Noyes presents mystical
mixed-media exhibit by 2 artists

   A mystical installation of sculptures, large-scale drawings, paintings, and works on glass will go on exhibit Jan. 21 until May 23 at the Noyes Museum of Art. In this exhibition, Suzanne Reese Horvitz and Robert Roesch present an imaginative collaboration titled “Transduction: Myths of the Sea and the Solar Boat.” The pair’s projects and themes have traveled the world and can be seen in museum collections both nationally and internationally.
     Horvitz (www.suzannehorvitz.com) will display poetic mixed-media works, glass panels and myth-like paintings, some of which include gold and silver leaf on aluminum. Her artwork often offers a mythical narrative and is done by reverse painting, screening, sand blasting and gilding on glass, aluminum or canvas. Her newest work explores mirror images and twins with translucent figures merging with text and landscape to create surrealistic and mystical effects on gilded metallic, representing dreams and the world on the wrong side of the looking glass.  
     Roesch (www.robertroesch.com), head of the sculpture department at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, contributes several large-scale metal sculptures and wall works to the exhibit. His sculptures, mixed media pieces and drawings explore and define the moment between shifting realities, “the place in-between.” Roesch is intrigued by contrasting planes at their moment of intersection and the transference of energy between the two forces.
     The Noyes Museum is open 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and noon-5 p.m. Sunday. It is 1 1/2 miles south of Historic Smithville Village, off Route 9, on Lily Lake Road in Galloway Township. Admission is $4 for adults and $3 for seniors and students.
