Paul Mordetsky is Moving to Miami
Artworks by Paul Mordetsky
On view: June 5 – 13
Opening: Fri, June 5 | 5-7pm
This special pop-up exhibition invites audiences to explore and collect original works by renowned Hightstown artist Paul Mordetsky before his move from New Jersey to Florida. Over the course of his career, Mordetsky has worked in both portraiture and landscape, with landscape becoming his primary focus in recent years. His draw toward landscape stems from both metaphorical and formal interests – he is pulled to expansive forms in luminous light. His works transport viewers into spaces where the “where” becomes secondary to mood, atmosphere, and emptiness.
This limited-time sale will feature sale framed and unframed paintings at accessible price points, with a portion of proceeds benefiting ACP’s community programs.
