Shore/Lines: Recent Paintings by Philip Kennedy-Grant

Bernardsville Public Library is pleased to present an exhibition of recent paintings—”Shore/Lines”—by Bernardsville resident Philip Kennedy-Grant. There will be an opening reception on Sunday, February 8 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm.

Mr. Kennedy-Grant has recently concentrated on painting abstractions in oil, acrylic, and watercolor, continuing a career marked by extensive and accomplished architectural drawings. This exhibit consists of paintings depicting land and sea and sky in idealized and imagined settings. Executed variously on canvas, board, paper, and acrylic sheet, the effect differs even as the subject is largely unchanged.

Supplementing the paintings, a selection of sketchbooks, small paintings, and drawings will be exhibited in the lobby display cases. This collection, spanning thirty years, suggests the sometimes direct, often roundabout, route from idea to execution.

This exhibition will be on view in the library’s Community Room from February 2 through February 27 during regular library hours unless a meeting is in progress. For further information, please call the library at 908-766-0118.
