Two Sides of Art: Westmoreland Museum of Art

So you like portraits, but your friend you brought with you has tastes that cater to the abstract.  This month, the Westmoreland Museum of Art will be opening their @rt 30 exhibit, featuring the works of anatomical papercutting sculptor, Gianna Paniagua, and pointilism portrait artist, Jack Puglisi.  Both artists are masters at their particular crafts which are incredibly different from the other.  The pairing, then, creates a unique exhibition that caters to all types of artistic interests.  The common thread?  A meticulous process in order to create.  Puglisi forms each portrait from tiny dots that come together to create the image.  When making her paperworks, Paniagua chooses to create her repetitive patterns strictly by handcutting each piece.  The exhibition will run from September 4-28 at the Westmoreland Museum of Art. 4764 Route 30
