Gallery reception: Nick Savides, ‘NYCityscapes’

November 18, 2018 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Wagner Union Art Gallery

Please join us at the Wagner College Gallery for “NYCityscapes,” a solo exhibition of oil paintings by Brooklyn-based artist Nick Savides, on display from Monday, Nov. 12 to Saturday, Jan. 12.

A gallery reception will be held on Sunday, Nov. 18 from 2 to 4 p.m.

Both the reception and exhibition are free and open to the public.

The gallery is located in the Union Building on the Wagner College campus at 631 Howard Ave., Staten Island.

The Wagner College Gallery is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with extended hours on Thursday until 9 p.m.

The paintings in this show are set in New York City neighborhoods like Tribeca, SoHo and NoHo as well as Central Park, portrayed with a blend of realism and subtle surrealism that creates a unique vision of the city.

“One of the recurrent themes in the show is the depiction of the figure and faces on billboards, anthropomorphizing the city itself,” Savides said. “Using the effects of light and space, they blend the everyday and the extraordinary, the dynamic and the serene.”

Savides started painting as a young child, learning from his mother, who was also a painter. Later, he studied under New York figurative painter Paul Georges at Brandeis University. Since his first solo show in 1980, he has exhibited in many group and solo shows in New York City as well as Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Long Island, Upstate New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, California and Toronto. His work is included in numerous private and public collections and was featured on June Middleton’s cable show, “Minding Your Business.” Twice published by Nabi Press, he had a retrospective of his work at the Berkeley College Gallery in 2012, was selected for the cover of the 2015 William & Mary Review, and has recently been published in Studio Visit magazine and the John Natsoulas Press publication, “10th Annual Art of Painting in the 21st Century.”

WORKING

November 18, 2018 @ 2:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Main Hall Theatre, Staten Island, 10301

This musical examination of 26 people from all walks of life proves that it's more than just a job for the average working American. Based on Studs Terkel's best-selling book of interviews with American workers, Working paints a vivid portrait of the men and women that the world so often takes for granted: the schoolteacher, the phone operator, the waitress, the millworker, the mason and the housewife, just to name a few. Nominated for six Tony Awards, this classic has been updated for a modern age, featuring new songs by Tony Award-winning Lin-Manuel Miranda, as well as favorites by Stephen Schwartz, Craig Carnelia and James Taylor.

Directed by James Barry
Music Direction by Carl Haan
Choreographed by Ashley Delane Burger
