Winter Art Show Begins at UpFront Exhibition Space
The artist reception will be on Dec. 14.
Three artists are featured at UpFront Exhibition Space Winter Art Show:
Gordon Graff, Mark Wright and Roz Hodgkins are artists who help with the shows at UpFront Exhibition Space. Gordon is the owner/director.
Gordon Graff was born in California, and his family moved east when he was 12. In 2004, he moved to Port Jervis and opened an antiques shop. As he began to acquire furniture and antiques, the idea of putting various parts together inspired him, informed by his background in furniture building and carpentry. His sculptural pieces are a convergence of utility and art.
Mark Wright, aka Midartz, is an artist based in New York City, born in the Bronx. He refers to his art as primarily “neoexpressionist, using multiple mediums. His works have been featured at UpFront Exhibition Space, Winston Scott Gallery. Brooklyn Art Cave and many other art venues. His art has been featured in the Times herald Record.

She spent 45 years in New York, exploring painting styles from pop art , photo realism and expressionist to non-objective. For the last 15 years she has been living in the Port Jervis area and painting her perceptions of nature. Through her career in art making, she has worked with most painting mediums. Her first show was at Warren Benedict Gallery in Soho in 1972; she has had works in several solo and group shows in New York through the ‘80s and ‘90s.
