Group survey explores how artists interpret the changing seasons, with Spring and Summer on view at Stirner Modern and Fall and Winter at The IF Museum
EASTON, PA — Stirner Modern Gallery and The IF Museum (International Fusionism Museum) are pleased to announce their first joint exhibition, “The Four Seasons,” a group survey curated by Lee Klein. The exhibition examines how a range of practitioners incorporate the shifting rhythms and atmospheres of the year into their work.
Spring and Summer will be presented at Stirner Modern Gallery, while Fall and Winter will be shown at The IF Museum. Together the two venues offer a complementary view of seasonal cycles across painting and mixed-media practice.
Among the artists featured are established figures associated with both institutions. Darryl Pottorf, known for his vegetable-dye and photographic transfer works, is included alongside still-life painter Roberto Azank. Azank will present one of his “Palette Images,” newly created in response to Pottorf’s large-scale masterwork in the exhibition, “Eye Q.”
Pottorf and Azank are joined by a strong roster of Lehigh Valley artists, including Shalom Neuman, Kacper Abolik, Jackie Lima, Ian Crofts, Karen Pritchett, Cat Nunez, and Jonas Stirner.
The exhibition also pairs artists in dynamic exchanges of color and form, creating visual “volleys of chroma” that resonate with the musical structure of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. It further highlights longstanding working relationships, notably those between Pottorf and Stirner, as well as the exuberant color dialogue between Joanne Aldis and Karen Pritchett.
“The Four Seasons” marks a significant collaboration between two of Easton’s distinctive art spaces and offers visitors a multi-venue experience of contemporary practice rooted in the local and regional arts community.
