Painter Robert Jacoby is FREEWHEELING in New Exhibit at City Gallery
In November, City Gallery welcomes new gallery member Robert Jacoby and his solo exhibition FREEWHEELING. The show runs November 3 - November 29, with an Opening Reception on Sunday, November 3, 2-4 p.m.
Jacoby has been an active artist since the mid-1980s, focused initially on representational drawing and painting. After retiring from the faculty at the Yale School of Medicine in the early 2000s, he moved to abstraction, initially to explore “duende,” the Dionysian force guiding flamenco singers and dancers to inspiring performance.
That exploration led to the diverse style visitors will see in the City Gallery exhibit — in which the artist is less concerned about “voice” than authentic expression.
A Guilford resident, Jacoby has shown work throughout Connecticut and is a member of the Guilford Art League, New Haven Paint and Clay Club, and City Gallery (New Haven). You can see more of his work at www.jacobyart.com.
The FREEWHEELING exhibit is free and open to the public. City Gallery is located at 994 State Street, New Haven, CT 06511. Gallery hours are Friday - Sunday, 12 p.m. - 4 p.m., or by appointment. For further information please contact City Gallery, info@city-gallery.org, www.city-gallery.org.
