The Witness of 400 Years

In 2001, my family moved upriver from New York City to the Hudson Valley, a decision that felt like sealing a lifelong love with a true commitment. We had already experienced countless “honeymoon” moments there—crisp November days in the Bear Mountains, spring hikes in the Catskills, summer trips to waterparks that gave way to gentle ski slopes in winter. So when we finally settled in, it felt like coming home.

Ironically, the move sparked a decade-long break from painting; why paint when I was surrounded by nature’s own masterpiece? But in 2013, when my youngest left for college and the house grew quiet again, I found myself drawn back to my old paints.

I began with the 400-year-old oak behind our house, a tree that has come to mean so much to me. Its sprawling branches stretch over our home and into neighboring yards, having witnessed centuries of change. It welcomed the first Dutch settlers, just as it welcomed me decades ago, and has silently watched generations pass, as I too will in my brief time here. The tree, the mountains, the valleys, and the rivers are the true residents of this land—I am only a passing guest. This piece is my tribute to the enduring beauty and spirit of the Hudson Valley.

The River as Metaphor / Hudson Valley Artists 2017

Curated by Livia Straus

June 10 – July 30, 2017
Alice and Horace Chandler and North Galleries

Undercurrents: The River as Metaphor / Hudson Valley Artists 2017 will exhibit works that address modernity by reflecting on the Hudson River: its history, its grandeur, and its singular ability to provide us with a roadmap for meeting the challenges we face in the course of everyday life. The exhibition poses questions intended to document this work in our own time: What are the perspectives of contemporary artists living along the Hudson River, and how are they reflected in their art? Can we look to the history of the Hudson Valley to anchor our moral fiber? How can the river and the artists it inspires guide us through the ongoing process of adjusting to new norms and realities?


The exhibition was curated by Livia Straus, director and co-founder of the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art (HVCCA) in Peekskill, N.Y., a non-profit organization dedicated to developing exhibitions and interdisciplinary programs that enrich our understanding of contemporary art and its relationship to social issues.

Art & Design Alumni Association, Spotlight on Minjin Kung

Spotlight on: Minjin Kung

http://www.artdesignalumni.com/

How did your years at Art & Design HS inspire your creativity?

How can I sum up in few words, how A&D inspired me? Though it was only three years in high school, A&D had a big affect on my life. I met a lot of good teachers and mentors that I wouldn’t have had otherwise. The foundation of the A&D curriculum was wide and broad, which helped me in running and teaching at my studio and workshop for many years. When I think of my two favorite teachers Mr. Ginsburg and Mr. Greenberg, I am reminded that it is never too late to start painting again. I’m very thankful to A&D for starting me on my lifelong journey in the arts.
