Opening Reception – “On the Road Again” by Mark Altrogge

Our exhibition of Altrogge’s new work in “On The Road Again” holds an interesting observation on movement.  The familiar barns and birches are there, as is his mastery of color and composition.  There is a colorful street scene with pedestrians making haste under their umbrellas in response to an approaching storm. In this exhibit Altrogge introduces Amish buggies in vibrant motion. And some striking views of abandoned cars clearly no longer in motion.  We witness movement AND its absence. Motion in pace with nature.  A stillness sometimes majestic.  Perhaps poignant.
