Amity Gallery opens with “A World in Motion”

The Amity Gallery opens May 2 with “A World in Motion” an exhibit of the works of Gerald Schultz, which includes large intriguing mobiles, three-dimensional collages, prints and books. An opening reception will be held that day at 5 p.m.

“Unlike static sculpture that invites the observer to move around it seeking different perspectives, a mobile moves before the observer exposing different aspects of itself.” Schultz’s mobiles are made from paper, cut and folded into shapes, then painted. Wood comprises the scaffolding of the mobile that becomes part of the overall artistic statement.” Inspiration for his work has appeared to him in dreams or at other times as a result of an intuitive process.

Gerald Schultz received a PhD in Chemistry from the Polytechnic University of New York, now the Tandon School of Engineering of New York University. In the 1970’s, he studied drawing, and print making at the Art Student’s League in New York City.

Amity Gallery is located at 110 Newport Bridge Road in Warwick and is open Saturdays and Sundays from 1-4 p.m.
