Gallery Exhibit at Scotch Plains Public Library

Scotch Plains Public Library will feature mosaics created by local resident and artist Valentin Kovalyov throughout the month of September.

Born in Odessa, Ukraine, Valentin worked as an artist, specializing in mosaics, stone, marble, and many other materials. From 1961 to 1979 he created hundreds of government sponsored mosaic murals all over Ukraine and Moldavia. Many of the pieces on display in the gallery depict scenes from Russian fairy tales.

The exhibit will be on display at the library until September 26. A reception will be held on Saturday, September 19 from 12 to 2 pm.

The exhibit and reception are free and open to the public. For more information, visit www.scotlib.org, call 908-322-5007 x 204, or e-mail library@scotlib.org.
