The Trenton Free Public Library Mezzanine Gallery’s current exhibition is Enrique Zaldivar’s “Happy Days,” on view through Friday, September 14.
Zaldivar is a Cuba-born painter living in Kearny. A graduate of the Professional Academy of Fine Arts “El Alba” in Holguin, Cuba, the artist says his current paintings and photographs come “from my personal experience with nature, color, and shapes over the last four years. Through time I have stripped myself of theoretical ties, seeking a more primal feeling.”
Trenton Free Public Library, 120 Academy Street. Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Friday and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. 609-392-7188 or www.trentonlib.org.

Enrique Zaldivar’s art is at Trenton Public Library.,
