An Evening with artist Adel Gorgy

What can we learn about life through art and what can we learn about art through life?

Join Adel Gorgy tonight to discuss and learn more.

The BAFFA Gallery (Bay Area Friends of the Fine Arts) in Sayville presents "Rhythms…Winter to Fall and Other Works" by Adel Gorgy, an exhibit of photographic art from Saturday, October 1st through Sunday, October 23.  

Adel Gorgy’s large-scale images are all derived from nature and span a time from Winter to Fall.  Realism describes nature, Impressionism colors it, Expressionism interprets it and Abstraction reduces it.  In Rhythms...Winter to Fall, these boundaries are blurred, imaginary or non-existent.  

In another group of works, Again...Seeing Art Anew, he employs selected visual phrases taken from great paintings as the basis for new compositions, interpreting and recomposing revered works of art.  Gorgy’s images are large, complex works, woven into a single, harmonious composition.  In photographs of sunrises, called Horizon in Time, he minimizes and recomposes colors and patterns in the movement of water and skyscapes.  Through his work, the artist invites viewers to seek new ways of seeing. 

“In the end,” he says, “the medium, the technique and the style fall behind or disappear, and only the image remains.” 

Adel Gorgy lives and works on Long Island and his photographs have been exhibited both nationally and internationally in museums and galleries. 

Exhibition hours:  Tues. Thurs. Fri. 10 am – 1 pm,  Sat. & Sun. 1 – 4 pm
