KENT, CONN. — The Bachelier Cardonsky Gallery opens a new exhibition Saturday, June 30, featuring three realist paintings — Pamela Moore of New York City, Patty Mullins of Litchfield County, Conn., and Laura Von Rosk of New York State. A reception for the artists will be conducted on June 30 from 3 to 5 pm. The show will run through Sunday, July 29.

Moore’s work is a mix of diverse yet harmonious methods. She combines painting, etching, photography and collage with mastery in each medium. Her imagery comes from many sources: nature, poetry, music, maps, textiles and memories.

Moore has had numerous shows, awards, commissions and works in public collections, the Smithsonian and Lincoln Center among them. She is one of eight artists chosen worldwide to participate in a commemorative show in Hiroshima, Japan, this summer.

Mullins, in her artist statement, writes, “I paint the immediate, visible elements of my world to record my existence in this place at this point in time; …but the paintings are as much about color and texture as they are about the objects themselves.” The objects are commonplace: an empty chair, hand tools, paints, etc; the colors are wonderfully muted and subtle. Mullins has shown since 1999, most recently at the Edward Hopper House Art Center.

Von Rosk is a painter of mysterious landscapes on small wooden panels. They are gorgeous scenes that lead back quietly into unknown horizons. Her surreal places are beautifully lit in warm colors and meticulously detailed. Since 1989, Von Rosk has had many shows and awards, among them a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant and four Yaddo fellowships.
