"On the Loose" Show

PRESS RELEASE


                                                         "On the Loose"


Cheryl Dyment will be exhibiting her latest body of work for this show titled "On the Loose".  This is a solo exhibit...she is, herself, "on the loose".  From the time she started painting, she has wanted to work on a large scale.  Now, with her new studio, she has the space to expand.  Finally, she has the opportunity to stretch not just in size, but in style, as well. 

The majority of the paintings in the show will be new, never displayed work.  The paintings range in size from 30x48 (the largest) to a 6x12 (the smallest).  "On the Loose" is also indicative of the artist's style of painting...compositions provide the foundation from which Cheryl uses her brush strokes to show movement.  Her chosen palette provides the atmosphere, evoking an emotional response via the light that guides you through and around the paintings.  Cheryl's subject matter remains the landscape and she still considers herself primarily a plein air painter in oils.  
 
"On the Loose" will be presented at the Newburyport Art Association in the Laura Coombs Hills Gallery.  The show will run from May 1st to May 17th, 2008.  A reception will be held on Friday evening, May 2nd, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Gallery.  Refreshments will be served and the public is invited.  Gallery hours are:  Sunday, 1-5 p.m., Monday-Saturday, 11 - 5p.m.  Private showings can be accomodated by prior arrangement.  For further information, please contact the Newburyport Art Association at 978 465 8769.
