Virtual Artist of the Month: Robert Adzema

May 28, 2020 By Piermont Library

For the month of June, we invite you to explore the work of local artist, Robert Adzema.  Of particular interest to Piermont residents will be his evocative marsh paintings.  You can view his work at https://www.robertadzema.com/paintings-piermontmarsh.html
Many of Adzema’s watercolor landscapes were painted on site at the Piermont marsh, pier and waterfront over the last thirty years. These are colorful and expressive paintings which capture the light, atmosphere, energy and beauty of the Piermont waterfront. 
“Plein air painting is powerful way to get to see and know a landscape. Spending 2 to 3 hours  painting on location is a unique way to engage with the specific landscape before you.  You get to know the light, whats growing and living there, the specifics and changeability of the weather  and all that is alive in you and outside you in your dialogue with what is before you.”  
 “Watercolor painting is one of the most difficult painting mediums because it is unforgiving.  You can not rework an area and o go back over a passage often makes it looks dull and overworked.   The medium is prized for its transparency, luminosity and immediacy.  It is easily transportable and ideally suited for travel ad painting on location.”
