SOMA NewArt Gallery is pleased to announce “From Around Cape Island,” a solo exhibition of new ocean, marsh, and field-scapes by renowned regional artist Stan Sperlak. For his show at SOMA, Sperlak has created an outstanding body of work inspired by the dramatic natural beauty of the Cape May peninsula.
Skillfully rendered, this sensational new work brings another dimension to a career that has made Sperlak one of the most respected and collected artists working in the region. Each pastel painting captures the subtle natural beauty of the Jersey Shore, with the vivid mastery of color, texture, and form.
Sperlak is a juried member of the Pastel Society of America, the Mid-Atlantic Plein Air Painters, the Maryland Pastel Society, and Riverfront Renaissance Center for the Arts in Millville. He studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.
Stan teaches pastel painting in the plein-air tradition at his many pastel workshops through out the year.
The artist’s Opening Reception at SOMA NewArt Gallery, is Saturday, Sept. 6, 6-9 p.m. Food and drink will be served catered by 410 Bank Street Restaurant.
The Gallery is located at Carpenter’s Square Mall, 31 Perry Street, in Cape May.
The exhibition of Stan Sperlak’s “From Around Cape Island” runs through Oct. 19. The Gallery is open daily.
