‘Familiar Places and Spaces' showcases Broome County's beauty
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – A local artist is showcasing the beauty and grittiness of Broome County with her latest exhibition.
Joanne Thorne Arnold's 'Familiar Places and Spaces' opens on Friday at the Arts Council's Artisan Gallery as part of First Friday.
The gallery features oil paintings depicting well-known scenes from around the local area, including Otsiningo Park, Cutler Pond, and the Chenango Street viaduct. There's also a series of paintings of animals and landscapes, as well as abstract paintings representing the change in seasons.
Thorne Arnold says she has worked very hard on the exhibit over the last year and a half. She says the use of color makes her paintings feel familiar to viewers, creating a connection with the art.
'It's not trying to find the most prettiest picture or scenery, photographs can do that. This is a way of picking out the gritty with the beauty,' said Thorne Arnold.
You can check out Familiar Places and Spaces on Friday from 6 to 9 p.m. It will be on display throughout the month of June.
Artisan Gallery is located at 223 State Street in Binghamton.
