Recent oil paintings by Rosemary Castiglioni. Opening Reception: Friday, June 8th, 6 to 9 PM "These paintings are a result of a tension to surpass a mere visual notation. What I find fascinating is not only the form and the color of objects but also the quieter nuances of their elemental aspects. There story is revealed in this way. Appearances that evoke a need to preserve a moment become a kind of transitional reality, ie., the real and the not real."
