Silverman Gallery exhibits Jennifer Hansen Rolli’s ‘The Space Between’

Posted

The Silverman Gallery of Bucks County Impressionist Art presents “Jennifer Hansen Rolli: The Space Between” through May 9.

The artist will be on hand to meet and greet visitors on two separate weekends, from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, April 10, and again the following weekend, from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, April 18

Over the past difficult year Rolli said she has concentrated on “finding the beauty in both the poignant and simple moments while we all hang in suspension during this Space Between.”

The signature painting of the exhibition shows the vast interior of the iconic Metropolitan Opera in Lincoln Center in full glory. The title, “All Else In Life is Folly” is a lyric from one of her mom’s favorite operas, “La Traviata.”

Other paintings are from uncomplicated times like hiking past a familiar farm or biking along the canal path . . . where subjects become what she decides to paint next. The luscious palette of Rolli’s “Canal Afternoon” and “Christine’s Laundry” contrasts with the quieter “Valley Below August Skies” and “Sunlit Tulips.”

The exhibition is the first for the gallery’s 10th anniversary slate of 2021 shows.

“Showcasing Jennifer’s incredible paintings throughout the last decade is one of the key reasons that we attract visitors and collectors,” said Silverman Gallery owner, Rhonda Garland. “Her work continues to capture the essence of Bucks County and beyond, connecting with people both visually and emotionally. Considered by Bucks County Magazine to be their artist in residence, her paintings have graced their covers since 2016.”

With safety being a top priority, visitors are asked to wear their masks (if you’ve mislaid yours, just ask for one). Social distancing will be observed as well, so you may want to allow extra time when arriving to meet with Rolli.

The collection is available for viewing both online and in person. You may make an appointment for a private viewing, call ahead for availability if you are in the area, or just stop by. Priority will be given to visitors with an appointment.

The gallery is located in Buckingham Green Shopping Center, 4920 York Road (Route 202) in Holicong, five miles south of New Hope. Call 215-794-4300 or visit silvermangallery.com.
