Made You Look

Reception - Saturday, August, from 6-9 p.m.

For the month of August, the ARTery Gallery in Milford will showcase the work of two popular painters who are well-known to local art enthusiasts: Kate Horan and Laura Lippay.

Acrylic painter Kate Horan is known for her unique and original style of presenting figures and faces. After completing her BA in English/Art History, she studied drawing and painting throughout the northeast, including studies in Fine Art at the graduate level at SUNY/Buffalo in New York State. In retrospect, Horan speaks of her experiences drawing from life as having been essential, with observation as her main teacher. Considered neither a realist nor portraitist, in the traditional sense, Horan distorts and simplifies her figures. She purposefully uses painted line, expressive in its own right, to give suggested structure to her painting. Horan believes being well-versed in the basics of painting and drawing gives her the freedom to “break the rules” with conviction in order to create emotional content, which is a strong unifying characteristic of all her work. Ultimately, Horan sees art as a conversation that will draw the viewer in to not only see the work but also experience the underlying emotions that support it. Horan’s artwork is in collections nationwide.

Acrylic and oil painter Laura Lippay is known for the bold and attractive color choices that contribute to a style uniquely her own. Her contemporary, textured landscapes and colorful abstracts have evolved as expressions of the places she inhabits and the moments she experiences. Following a 25-year career in Silicon Valley, Lippay left the tech world to pursue painting full time. She now resides in an Airstream which has been modified to include her working art studio. Lippay’s newest series, From the Inside Out, was created during a cold spell while living and working in her Airstream home. This painting series transforms her window views, kitchen areas, and tiny spaces into bold abstract paintings. Together, the works invite viewers to slow down, tap into their creative senses, and experience Laura’s world through the unique lens of her abstract interpretations.

Kate Horan and Laura Lippay will be at the ARTery Gallery for the opening gala Saturday, August 8 from 6 to 9 pm. The public is invited to attend this free event which includes complimentary refreshments. The “Made You Look” exhibit will open on Thursday, August 6 and run until Labor Day on Monday September 7. The gallery is open Thursday through Monday from 10-6 pm.
