Rare Access to Never Exhibited Schroeder
Paintings
 Coastal
Frameshop and Gallery announces an exhibition of previously unseen works
by Howard Schroeder, the late great artist who resided in Lewes, Delaware.
Given rare access to the paintings held by the estate of the prolific,
much loved and respected artist, the gallery has selected watercolors and
mixed media works concentrating on landscapes and seascapes of the region
in addition to a particularly radiant studio still life.
Schroeder’s inimitable style—a dancing
brushstroke of saturated color over an architectonic compositional
structure coupled with his bold overlay of dark markings—always creates
visual drama and rediscovers the wonder in everyday scenes. His joy in the
act of painting is contagious and invests even the smaller of works with
incredible energy and drive.

with a reception on Saturday, May 24 from 3-6 p.m. and will continue
through June 19, 2003. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday
through Saturday and Noon to 4 p.m. Sunday and Monday. For further
information call 302-227-8704.
Seng Exhibits New Works at Our Place
Restaurant
An exhibition of new photographs by Seng (Eakapotch
Thantanacharoen) will be on display beginning Friday, May 16, at Our Place
Restaurant and Garden Patio.
Seng’s exhibition is entitled “La Kawn,”
an English transliteration of the Thai word for drama. Over a thousand
years ago, lavish productions of music, drama and dance, were produced to
tell tales from the Indian epic poem, the Ramayana, and were performed for
the King and his court. The fantastic characters and fanciful costumes
that were used as a part of these dramatic spectacles inspired the
artisans who later created the sculpture and other architectural
decorations for the Temple of the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok, Thailand.
Seng has photographed these images from
this magnificent Buddhist temple and then hand-tinted many of them to try
to recapture the pageantry of the original “La Kawn” performances.
Our Place Restaurant and Garden Patio, 37
Baltimore Ave. can be reached at 302-227-4143.
Cloud 9 Exhibits Works by DC Artist
Charlie Jones
Cloud 9 Restaurant, located at 234 Rehoboth
Avenue, is currently exhibiting paintings by Washington, DC artist Charlie
Jones. Jones’ paintings are inspirations derived from diverse cultures ,
customs, colors, and textures experienced through his travels. He paints
with layers of vivid color combinations, energetic textures, and dynamic
compositions rich with bold and subtle transitions, taking the viewer on
an abstract journey. (Shown is Treehouse 25 by Charlie Jones)
“In my paintings, I attempt to relive my
experiences through the process of abstract expression while delving into
the unknown of my subconscious, which will remain forever impacted by my
travels and adventures,” says Jones.
As an emerging artist, paintings from
Jones’ first two exhibits in 2002 landed in homes in DC, VA, MD, CA,
NYC, London, as well as in the United States Capitol Building.
