Internationally-known art on display
“A Celebration of Two Mas-
ters,” is now on display at Lizza
Studios 155 Bridge St.,
Tunkhannock.
The exhibit brings together
surrealist painter Voyen Cech
Colini and glass sculptor
. Christopher Ries, two interna-
tionally renowned and extraor-
dinary artists.
Voyen Cech Colini was born
in 1924, in Kolin Czechoslova-
kia, now a part of the Czech
Republic. During his high
school years, after the end of
WWI, the surrealists were at
the peak of their influence in
Central Europe. the young
man would view their works in
the art galleries and was so im-
pressed it became his lifelong
ambition to become a great
painter.
As he matured, Colini be-
came fascinated with Italian art
of the Renaissance Era, and de-
cided to paint only in egg tem-
pera. He began to find ways to
improve the surrealists weak-
nesses by overlaying a Renais-
sance flavor. Thus was devel-
oped the unique style that is
the trademark of Colini today,
When the Communists took :
over Central Europe after :
WWII, Colini lived in Switzer- =
land and then France from .
which he was forced to leave:
for Venezuela because he had
no papers. He later immigrated
to Canada, then moved to the
United States, living in the
New York area for many years,
returning to Europe each year!
to study art, and exhibitin |
Switzerland and Germany: Col:
ini now calls Northeastern
Pennsylvania his home, where
he continues to paint and ex-
hibit his fascinating works. » ;
Christopher Ries composes
light through the medium of
glass. He works with solid
blocks of optic crystal and re-
leases the form, employing the
same techniques used in stone
sculpting. His work is decep-
tively simple in form, but ol)
plex in expression. :
The show will continue
through Sept. 4. Gallery hours
are M-F, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and
Saturday 10 a.m. to 5. For more
information, call 836-8806.
