Hopewell artist Ken McIndoe is set to display his work, in a solo exhibition entitled Paintings, at The Pennington School’s Silva Gallery of Art.
In Paintings, gallery director Dolores Eaton chose to focus on McIndoe’s city scenes in an effort to highlight the range found in the artist’s marks and use of color.
The work ranges from painterly to almost completely abstract. Painted on-site in oils, McIndoe captures what is happening in the moment and does not rework these paintings back in the studio.
Born in London, McIndoe spent his early childhood living in Liberia and his schooling years in English boarding schools. Soon after his arrival in the United States in 1957 he enrolled at The Art Students League to study painting. In 1981 he became an instructor at The Arts Student League and continues to teach there today.
McIndoe has had numerous solo and group exhibitions in New York and New Jersey, including the State Museum in Trenton. He is the recipient of two, New Jersey State Council on the Arts Fellowships in 1987 and 2000.
The exhibition is scheduled to open Sept. 3 and continues through Oct. 3. A reception with the artist is set for 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Sept. 12. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday; and 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday
The Silva Gallery of Art is located on the Pennington School’s campus, 112 West Delaware Ave., Pennington.
