Visit the Artist of the Month tab on our website homepage to view our latest virtual art exhibition featuring the work of John VandenOever.
John VandenOever came to Piermont in 1988 to be pastor of Piermont Reformed Church on Ferdon Avenue. Piermonters have long known him as a kind of Renaissance person, performing original music at area venues with his band Who Are They, and exhibiting his art at area galleries and periodically at our library. His last library show, “Art Is Fun,” featured whimsical assemblages and multimedia works along with 2-D works. He studied drawing and painting at the renowned program at Queens College/CUNY. In addition to this virtual exhibit, John currently has paintings and photographs on view at the Clarksville Art Gallery in West Nyack, and in the “members and friends” exhibit at Piermont Reformed.
About this exhibit: “I welcome the opportunity to show my recent work virtually for many reasons. No transporting large paintings, no scrounging for frames, no schedule constraints for visitors! More importantly, the virtual format allows me to share short video projects, and photographs that might not have the technical specs for large prints but which I think are worth seeing. Also in this show are large and small paintings done in my summer garage studio, and colored pencil drawings made through the pandemic year. The common thread is translating the beauty that’s all around us, all the time.”
