NCC to Hold Artist Reception
Work by Jan Crooker and William Hudders will be featured in Exhibit "Parallel Lines."
Bethlehem, PA (08/22/2019) — The Northampton Community College (NCC) Art Department will hold a reception on Thursday, September 12, from 6:00-8:00 p.m., at the Bethlehem Campus, Gallery at Communications Hall, for faculty members Jan Crooker and William Hudders. Their painting exhibit "Parallel Lines," which runs from August 26 through October 25, includes over twenty works by each artist highlighting their parallel similarities in exploring the genres of still life and landscape painting in contemporary modern directions.
Jan Crooker attained her MFA from Penn State University and her BA from Toledo University. She is most interested in the transparency of light and the many ways that color compliments and creates a sense of playfulness in visual works of art.
William Hudders graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with an MFA and attained his BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design. Like Jan Crooker, Hudders paints directly from life, in plein air and bases all his work on direct visual experience. Many of the works in this exhibition highlight Hudders' exploration of still life, including a large scale "Still Life Triptych" presenting an elaborate collection of familiar and unfamiliar objects resting on a studio table all bathed in the ambient light of a passing day.
The gallery is open Monday - Thursday, 8:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. It is closed on Sunday.
