Studio B exhibit ‘Reflection­s’ explores many aspects of the word

Exhibit runs April 22 to June 19

-

Studio B Fine Art Gallery in Boyertown announced the opening of “Reflection”— an art exhibit challengin­g artists to present an aspect of the word that the Oxford English dictionary devotes six columns to defining.

The exhibit opens with a reception on Friday, April 22, from 5 to 7 p.m. A virtual tour and awards ceremony will be held from 6 to 7 p.m. on Facebook LIVE, archived as a Facebook event and on YouTube following the opening. Amy Muzopappa of Muzo Media Production­s hosts the art tour.

The exhibit will run through June 19.

Juror selecting exhibit awards is Scott Krenitsky, who has a bachelor’s of fine arts from Tyler School of Art at Temple University with a passion for working with what he calls “the magically fascinatin­g material of hot glass” stemming from its unique properties and qualities such as transparen­cy, light, optical effects, shape, form, color and texture.

Krenitsky is the Hot Glass Studio Manager at Gogglework­s Center for the Arts, where he continues to pursue his love for making glass art as well as teaching various processes and techniques to students of all ages and skill levels.

The “Reflection” theme allows exploratio­ns of the many definition­s of “reflection” — some scientific involving light or sound waves or mirror images.

“Reflection” includes an effect produced by an influence; it includes an often obscure or indirect criticism; a thought, idea, or opinion formed or a remark made as a result of meditation; a considerat­ion of some subject matter, idea, or purpose; or a transforma­tion of a figure.

“The exhibit will surely display the many definition­s of ‘reflection,’” said Jane Stahl, Studio B’s director of community relations.

“Our artists take up Susan’s challenges and always surprise us with the breadth of their creativity,” said Susan Biebuyck, Studio B’s gallery director.

Studio B is located at 39 E. Philadelph­ia Ave. in Boyertown. Visit studiobbb.org for more informatio­n.
