The Lucore Art Gallery in Montauk will highlight the work of local artist Stephen Loschen in an exhibition opening Saturday, May 14, with a reception from 4 to 7 p.m. The show will remain on view through June 1.

In his artist statement, Loschen writes, “I am fascinated by shape, form, and negative and positive space that is released by my subconscious mind on to the canvas. These are also created by assembling found objects into sculpture. I truly do not know where these thoughts come from, but I continue to roll with the punches and let them happen. I do know, I like bright colors because they make me feel good. I am not a follower of negative, grotesque or ‘evil’ art. I leave that for those who desire it. I believe there is enough evil in everyday life that I do not need to be reminded of it.

“On occasion, I will create a black and white painting or sculpture which I truly feel makes me face the strongest form of negative and positive space,” he continued. “As I get older and more comfortable with my style, I would like to produce a large body of work using bright colors expressing warm, humorous and musical thoughts for future generations to enjoy.”

The Lucore Art Gallery is at 87 South Euclid Avenue in Montauk. For more information, call 217-341-9344 or visit thelucoreart.com.
