Meet the Artist: Worshipping at the Altar

This solo exhibit features subjects from painter Bruce Lieberman’s garden and woods near his East End home. As a contemporary painter, he is not timid about showing us his wit along with intimate elements and a strong commitment to painting. “I want my life to be embedded in my work, crushed into my paintings. If it’s not, then my work is just stuff,” he says. “My paintings are me trying to find the mystical in the landscape and the act of painting. A closeness to nature in a spiritually transient and philosophical way.” It is his altar.

Meet the artist at a reception on Jan. 21, 2-4 p.m. View the exhibit during regular library hours, and look for a virtual tour on our website.
