Montclair Library Hosts Art Exhibit By John Dunic

MONTCLAIR, NJ — The following news release comes courtesy of the Montclair Public Library. Find out how to post announcements or events to your local Patch site.

The Montclair Public Library is proud to present a unique collection of artwork by John Dunic. This exhibit will be on view in the square part of the Library Gallery at 50 South Fullerton Avenue in Montclair from December 2, 2024 to January 28, 2025 during library hours.

John Dunic, who lives in Bergen County, is a formally schooled artist who works in many mediums, including paintings in oils, acrylics, and watercolors, and sculpts with many types of materials.

His education is a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts with the NY based School of Visual Arts (SVA) and earned his Master’s of Fine Arts from William Paterson College (WPC) majoring in Painting and Computer Graphics.

John paints in a variety of styles, including cubism, expressionism, and futurism, which emphasizes his diversity. One painting of his may look entirely different from the next, which is what makes him a unique talent. He touches upon subjects such as history, love, nature and religion, even rock and roll. He uses his own, personal freedom to paint what he is feeling at any given time, so subjects can run the diversity of the universe and imagination as his displayed work will show. This exhibit represents a cross section of his painting in subject and style.

John has won many awards in many of the exhibits he has participated in. In 2016, he won ‘Best Acrylic Painting Award’ at the Louis Bay second Library Arts show in Hawthorne, NJ. Recently, John won “Best in Show” at the Wallisch Homestead Art Show in West Milford, NJ, plus first prize in acrylic painting. In 2016 and 2017 he received an award at the Bergen County Arts and Music Festival. In 2017, John gained an award in acrylics at the St. Catherine’s Art, Photo, and Poetry Exhibit in Ringwood, NJ. He hopes to captivate the patrons of every show he displays his works.
