Eugene Arcieri-Engaging Worlds

The Exhibit ,“Engaging Worlds: The Surrealism of Eugene Arcieri”, is a collection of mixed-media works by Woodstock Artist Eugene Arcieri (1914-2005) and focuses on his vast oeuvre of surrealist canvases, mixed media collages, and phantasmagorical dioramas.

His award-winning artwork spanned over 70 years and was widely exhibited in New York, Washington, DC and other parts of the country. Arcieri was a founding member of the New York Spiral Group (1950s – 1960s), a group of 16 diverse artists that included Joseph Meert, Margaret Mullin and Peter Blanc. Eugene was the recipient of many awards, including the 1983 Woodstock Association’s Yasuo Kuniyoshi Fund Award for his collage, Persona.

Eugene Arcieri, a “creative visionary”, derived inspiration from landscapes, everyday objects, fabrics, mysticism and anything his five senses and intuition could create.

Opening Reception, Saturday, September 7, 5-7pm.
