Medallion Opera House — Bill & Jean Scolere Art Reception

All are welcome at the free Artist Reception for local artists Bill and Jean Scolere. The exhibition opened May 20th and will continue until July 5th.

Bill and Jean Scolere are longtime residents of Gorham and active members of the art community since 1976. Their art works have graced the exhibition spaces of a number of North Country venues.

Bill and Jean met as art majors in college and have over the years pursued their interests in the arts. Bill has established himself as a print-maker and Jean has studied water color painting.

The exhibition consists of works that reflect common themes with strong differences…color plays against black and white. Fine details are juxtaposed to broad strokes with subtle variations. The choice of works fill the Medallion Opera House Gallery with a studied eye toward exhibition presentation and style. Both artists have displayed high quality standards in the artistic expression and presentation.

The artistic themes in the show run the gamut from the beautiful to the mysterious to the puzzling. Animals, objects, landscapes, architecture, flowers, and figures offer subjects to be contemplated. Visual poetry abounds!

The reception provides the viewer with an opportunity to discuss the works in the show with the artists. Techniques, styles, subject matter, and inspiration may be contemplated.

Light refreshments will be served.
