GRIMALDI INSPIRED BY POLLOCK

 3/1/25 – 3/30/25

The Arts Society of Kingston (ASK) is honored to present Grimaldi Inspired by Pollock, a striking solo exhibition by renowned Abstract Expressionist Mark Grimaldi. Best known for his mastery of the drip technique, Grimaldi’s work pays homage to the legacy of Jackson Pollock while pushing the boundaries of contemporary abstraction.

His bold, energetic compositions extend beyond the conventional canvas, applying his distinctive style to an array of unconventional surfaces, including vertical planes, textiles, and repurposed objects.

This exhibition offers an immersive experience into Grimaldi’s creative evolution, showcasing both new and signature works that reflect his fearless experimentation and depth. Each piece invites viewers to explore the interplay of movement, color, and form, revealing a raw yet refined artistic language that is uniquely his own.

An Assembly of Emerging Forms: A Solo Exhibition by Meredith Rosiér

Exhibit 3/1/25 – 3/30/25

This collection features a dynamic series of oil paintings on linen, mounted on wood panel. Playful yet intricate, Rosiér’s abstract compositions capture floating forms that interact within space. Each piece stands alone in its unique composition, yet together, they share a visual and conceptual dialogue. The artist invites viewers to engage closely, revealing delicate details that embody movement—an essential and mysterious force in life.

Meredith Rosiér studied drawing at Yale University School of Art and earned an MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts on a full scholarship. She was mentored by Jacob Landau and Irving Petlin and has participated in artist residencies worldwide, including at The Winchester School of Art (England), The Tangier American Legation Museum (Morocco), and The Vermont Studio Center (USA). Her work is exhibited internationally and held in collections such as the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts Museum, Weatherspoon Art Museum, Arkansas Museum of Art, and the Tangier American Legation Museum. She has received numerous awards, including The National Association of Women Artists Genius Award (2015) and The National Award for Cutting Edge Artwork, NYC (2019).
