Castle Inn Art Gallery

New works of art now at the gallery. Come down and see it.

Our Art show opening yesterday for Lauryn de Leeuw, Rena Hottinger, Dora Pieren, Helen Y. He’s going & Jesse Clemente. Thank you to all who made it out and thank you to all the artists. We had a great turnout.

The five artist we are featuring is Lauryn De Leeuw. Lauryn de Leeuw is of Dutch nationality and was born and raised in Indonesia. She is an award winning contemporary Abstract Impressionist Expressionist Cubist artist. She works primarily with acrylic paint on canvas. Her sensuous designs, bold in composition and vibrant in color are influenced by the likes of de Kooning, Matisse, van Gogh, Chagall and Japanese Edo art. De Leeuw is known for her style and color. Like de Ko...oning, she likes to work with palette knives to mix paint and create an impasto surface. It gives her paintings dimension. She focuses on color and shape and not being consciously aware of the subject matter that she is painting. This adds a unique form. She lets the colors and values that she places of the canvas tell a story. De Leeuw’s primary focus has been to paint the female form, because women always have many stories to tell. Her working philosophy is built on the statement: Art, like Love, cannot be confined or defined. Art and love are ethereal and mystical, and when they become restricted, they lose passion, vibrancy, and personality. Art must be free. It is the artist’s self and their experiences that give a painting its personality, its uniqueness and its attraction. De Leeuw is a member of The Art Students League of New York and the Chelsea Arts Club in London. She spent ten years under the tutelage of Knox Martin. She has exhibited worldwide and received a number of awards; the most recent being Best in Show at the 2017 COTA Jazz and Arts Festival in the Delaware Water Gap and the Pocono Arts Council. Her work is always on show somewhere in Pike County PA, Wayne County PA, Stroudsburg, and the Delaware Valley See more
