Donald Trump featured in Lionheart Gallery Paper Space Exhibition

POUND RIDGE, N.Y. - Oct. 4, 2015 - PRLog -- Showcasing an innovative panoply of works on paper, from sculpted in situ paper wall hangings, encaustic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encaustic_painting) paintings and collage to trace and viscosity monotypes and coded alphabet works, the Lionheart Gallery’s Paper Space exhibition will debut with a Meet the Artist reception on October 18 from 2 to 5pm. The exhibition will be open from October 21 through November 30 and includes an Artists’ Talk on November 14 at the Lionheart Gallery, 27 Westchester Avenue in Pound Ridge, New York, just over the Stamford and New Canaan, Connecticut, borders. Exhibiting artists include Darien painter and printmaker Karen Vogel, Rhode Island paper sculptor and mixed media artist Barbara (Babs) Owen; award-winning multi-disciplinary artist Fairfield resident Roxanne Faber Savage; Litchfield County monotype artist Liz Dexheimer; Pennsylvania encaustic painter Margaret Noel; New Canaan mixed media artist Constance Old; Pound Ridge contemporary artists Geoffrey Stein and David Hutchinson and Phillip Halaburda a resident of Provence, France.

“This is one of our most imaginative exhibitions of the year,” said Gallery Director Susan Grissom who pointed out that it includes a wide array of paper art forms from sculptures and color-coded alphabets to encaustic paintings created from wax and paper to sculptures of cut paper and fiber art. “Each of our exhibition artists has a signature style that speaks volumes about their exceptional mastery of printing and art-centered execution. And just as the presidential race heats up, Donald Trump will make his presence known in a larger than life portrait by local Pound Ridge area artist, “recovering lawyer’ Geoffrey Stein.”

Geoffrey Stein’s innovative expressions play out in a parade of paper-infused portraits that double as biographical social commentaries on headlining personalities and public figures. His 60” by 80” image of Donald Trump, created from filed bankruptcy petitions, guest stars in the lineup alongside a Wall Street Journal-Barrons-New York Times-inspired Jamie Dimon, one of the many money managers who made it into Stein’s Irrational Exuberance series.

The exhibition debuts at a preview artists’ reception on October 18 and will officially open from October 21 through November 30, Wednesday to Saturday from 11 AM to 5 PM and Sundays from noon to 4 PM.  The gallery will also be hosting an Artists’ Talk from 5 PM to 7 PM on November 14th with many of the exhibiting artists.
