during the pandemic years when gathering to honor them was difficult

“The timing of this exhibit, “In Spirit,” is in conjunction with the dedication of “Jack’s Bench,” which is devoted to the memory of beloved long time resident, Jack Cossentino. The celebration and the bench itself, which faces the Cossentino home, have been lovingly sponsored by Donna Cossentino. The gallery art pieces on loan have been selected by Ironhorse artists to honor the memory of all of our Ironhorse neighbors who have passed into spirit during these two pandemic years when it was hard to gather and share our feelings of loss.

“This recent painting is of a procession of departing souls ‘leaving’ for new horizons on their individual magic carpets. One person looks ahead while another gazes at a star, which is one of the sources of light. The long shadow on the grass suggests another light source, either a rising or setting sun (your choice). The green leaf on the ground suggests this is a story about the passage of time. The cliff with the sad face in the background is a depiction of a real place (Niobe Rock in Turkey), named after a mythological Greek character who weeps for the loss of her loved ones.

“I painted this around 1973. It was a large piece based on my grandfather which was displayed in an art show at a bank in Stamford, Connecticut. I’m not sure what happened to the painting after that, but I recently found a photo of it and had it printed on a 1 inch think piece of acrylic. I thought it was very fitting to use for this particular show.”
