Troy Fine Art Services, Inc. presents “PULSE”

Troy Fine Art Services, Inc. presents “PULSE”: mixed media with sculpture by nationally known artist, Carol Brookes. “This holiday exhibition encourages the reflection one might contemplate as another New Year ushers in.”, says Founder Troy Amuso.  Opening reception will take place December 7th from 6 to 8 pm and remain on display through end of January. 

“PULSE” examines the hemisphere as a structure, the ordinary forms seen every day in their many incarnations, such as an egg, a pod, an eye, the earth, planets and domes. The various concepts that these forms evoke are explored in the series, including thoughts and insights into life, formation and the mystical and mysterious. Nails, washers, rope, tubing, wire, rubber mats, dowels, leather buckles, industrial honeycomb insulation and tacks are just some of the materials that Brookes incorporates into her wall and box-like structures.  I consider the entire world my art supply store,” says Brookes, “I see the world as layers of structure and surface, one upon the other – a concept that drives my work.”

Brookes’ artwork has been featured in notable galleries, universities and cultural centers throughout the United States, most recently seen at the  Eastern Connecticut State University.  Other venues include the McLarry Modern Gallery in Santa Fe, Illinois Central College in East Peoria, the Maryland Federation of Art in Annapolis, B. J. Spoke Gallery in Huntington, New York, the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, the Women’s Center in Los Angeles, and the Miami Metropolitan Museum and Art Center.

Gallery hours are 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday -Friday,  Thursday to 8p.m.  Saturdays and evenings by appointment. For more information, call (203)255-1555  www.troyfineart.com

Troy Fine Art offers a spectrum of contemporary art services:  fine art gallery, art advisory, conservation picture framing, art installations, art restoration, in the convenience of your home and office.

All work done on premises by trained professionals who are experienced in handling all types of art.

Calling All Young Artists

Congressman Himes announced Monday that  is my pleasure to announce the 2013 Congressional Art Competition, an annual, nation-wide art contest sponsored by the U.S. House of Representatives. I encourage all students in grades 9-12 who reside in or attend high school in Connecticut’s Fourth Congressional District to participate. This is one of my favorite annual events, and meeting the student artists and their families is something I look forward to each May.

Entries are judged by a panel of local artists and representatives of arts organizations in Southwest Connecticut. The winning entry from our district is displayed for one year in the United States Capitol alongside artwork from every congressional district across the country. The winning artist from our district will receive two roundtrip tickets to attend a national reception in Washington, D.C. Runners-up from the Fourth District will have their artwork displayed in my Bridgeport and Stamford offices.

Students interested in entering this year’s competition must complete and sign a release form and fax it to my Bridgeport office at (203) 333-6655, attention Paul Coyle. Forms are required to be sent no later than April 19, 2013. Participants may find the release form here. Artwork, along with a copy of the student information and release form affixed to the back, should be delivered or shipped to my Bridgeport office by 5:00 p.m. on May 1, 2013.

You can find more information on the competition, including rules and guidelines, here. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact Paul Coyle in my Bridgeport office at (203) 333-6600.
