With a wine and cheese reception from 5-7 p.m. on March 5 at The Spring, Stone Quarry Hill Art Park will unveil the largest remaining body of Rodger Mack paintings available for purchase by the public.
The exhibition will be on display at The Spring (200 Brooklea Drive, Fayetteville) through April 16 during its Emporium hours: Noon-5 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays, and Noon-4 p.m. on Saturdays. It will feature a total of 104 paintings by the late Rodger Mack, one of Syracuse's most well-known and well-loved artists.
Internationally known for his sculptures, Mack was also a dynamic painter who created colorful, vibrant works. From what source did he derive this creative energy? Art historian Teddy Aiken explains: "From jazz to travel, numerous sources inspired Rodger. He drew from the art of his contemporaries as well as from the long tradition of artistic production in such locations as Barcelona and Florence."
The paintings are provided by Stone Quarry Hill Art Park, and the exhibition is made possible by a collaboration between the Park, The Spring and Syracuse University. Proceeds from the sale of Mack's art will go equally to the three not-for-profits.
