The exhibition, entitled “Selfies,” by artist and long-time Riverside resident, Laurette Rindlaub, will be showing at the Greenwich Art Society Gallery from Sept. 6 through Oct. 2. There will be a reception on Saturday, Sept. 15 from 4 to 6 p.m. to which the public is invited.
“I’m sure it sounds a little narcissistic, but once I started painting portraits of myself, I found it hard to stop,” says Laurette Rindlaub, an artist and long-time Riverside resident. “I wound up with 61 self-portraits, each a different ‘me.’ And the Greenwich Art Society was kind enough to indulge me with a show.”
Rindlaub has worked in many different media including watercolor, oils, acrylic, and collage. She has exhibited extensively in juried shows including “Art of the Northeast” at the Silvermine Guild Arts Center and exhibitions at the Flinn Gallery and the Bendheim Gallery in Greenwich, the Stamford Museum, the New Canaan Library, and Pen and Brush and the Salmagundi Club in New York City.
She exhibited in a two-person show of paintings of the Cos Cob Power Plant at the Greenwich Arts Council and a one-person show of 33 paintings at the Southern Vermont Art Center in Manchester, Vt.
Her work is in many private collections as well as the collections of the Banker’s Trust Company and Ivey, Barnum & O’Mara.
She has studied at the Silvermine School of Art in New Canaan with Joan Heston, Charles Reid, and Clyde Smith; at the School of Visual Arts in New York City with Jack Potter; and at Bennington College with Stuart Diamond. She also participated in Yale professor Robert Reed’s “One-on-One” critique in New Haven.
The gallery is located at 299 Greenwich Ave., 2nd flr. Hours are weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays from 12 to 4 p.m.
