'COVID' Exhibit From Hoboken Master Painter Runs At Historical Museum Through July 3

HOBOKEN, NJ — There's a little over a week left to catch the "COVID" exhibit — work done in quarantine by Hoboken master painter and resident Lou Carbone — in the Hoboken Historical Museum's Upper Gallery. The exhibit runs through July 3.

The exhibit, which kicked off May 7, consists of 25 16 x 20 acrylic paintings.

"With diverse influences that include cubism, surrealism and the Mexican muralists, Lou’s paintings are a series of pictorial spaces borne of personal experience as filtered through dreams and illusions," the museum wrote.

"The images of anonymous figures in common settings depict ritual happening combined with feelings of sexual tension that are woven with a quiet elegant motion."

The exhibit is supported by a block grant from the State/County Partnership program for the Arts, administered by the Hudson County Division of Cultural and Heritage Affairs.

The next Upper Gallery exhibit, photography by Carol Halebian, will open July 10 with an online Artist Talk Friday, July 8 at 7 p.m.
