Ellenville, NY Reception for Seth Apter - The Pulse of Mixed Media

 
Last Monday night was the opening reception for Seth at the Ellenville Gallery Link for his artwork as well as talk and book signing.

 As promised, here are some pictures from the reception:
This first group is from Seth's 'Passages' series. I walked around the corner to see these and it took my breath away. The pictures (of course) don't do them justice. Each and every piece told a story and with the finesse and artful eye of Seth style.

 There was good food and lots of good conversation. Everyone was very impressed with his work and doubly pleased to meet Seth in person.

Lots of good conversation

Everyone enjoying the exhibit... the press too!

A book signing...

More conversation with internet friends..

And still more book signing..

And here are a few examples of Seth's series called 'Interior Angles'

 
 You really have to see these in person to appreciate all the interesting texture and perfection of design. Rumor has it that Seth will be teaching this technique at Art Is You in Stamford Ct. this coming October. Sign up now... I'm sure his class will fill up quickly!

To hear all the latest on his book tour, podcasts etc. visit Seth's blog, The Altered Page.

Congratulations Seth!

Best... Canace

Where in the world is Seth Apter???

Is he dining with aliens in the UFO Capital?

Or is he looking for treasure in the Shawangunk Mountains?

Maybe he’s been kidnapped by the Biffs in the Mid Hudson Valley??? *

Answer: All of the above!

 Okay, truth to be told, we the Biffs are not aliens, but Pine Bush, N.Y. is considered the UFO Capital of the world. You can read about the Pine Bush Phenomenon here. And no…. we didn’t kidnap him… he voluntarily got in the car. He did however treasure hunt in the Shawangunk Mountains on his way to Ellenville, N.Y. to lay out his plans for his soon to be released book promotion and one man art show at the Gallery Link in the Ellenville Library Museum. The reception will begin at 6pm on March 26th.

 Seth's new book,

The Pulse of Mixed Media: Secrets and Passions of 100 Artists Revealed  is scheduled for release the end of March and I for one have mine on pre-order.

Description courtesy Amazon.com:

Listen closely...can you hear it?

Can you hear the voices? Thoughts, insights, confessions from the creative community sharing ideas, trading secrets, venting frustrations; asking and answering questions such as, "What color rarely shows up in your work?" or "How do you express vulnerability in your art?" Or "What is one current trend that you wish would go away?" As artists, we are curious by nature and there is a longing to see inside the hearts and minds of artistic souls of our own kind. That is the beat of our lives - The Pulse of Mixed Media!

After Ellenville, we released Seth to the aliens and saw him on his way. I wish I could have captured the priceless look on his face when we told him we were off to New Paltz!

Now do you want to see where we went and what we saw?!  (Seth, don’t look)

Janet and I went to our favorite antique shop at Water Street Market in New Paltz.

Here are just a few treasures that we saw while there... 

This gorgeous dental cabinet is still haunting me

Who has too many printers trays? Not me!

Lucky day! Janet got her '7' and I got my '3'

A few of these followed us home

This beautiful book press is for you Seth

LOVE these!

What a great shop.. what wonderful treasures.

Time to call it a day and head home.

Last word from Seth said he was hanging with the aliens, so a good day was had by all.

I hope you enjoyed your day with us.. have a great week!

All best,
Canace
