GLOUCESTER ART EXHIBITION - May 30 - June 15, 2008
Roger Salisbury Exhibits at North Shore Arts Association
An artist reception will be held for East Gloucester resident and Cape Ann artist Roger Salisbury at the North Shore Arts Association on Sunday, June 1, 2008 from 3:00pm to 5:00pm. Salisbury will be in attendance and the public is invited to meet the artist and view his latest series of pastels and oil paintings.
Roger Salisbury was raised in a household of art and medicine. Guided by two parents who were survivors of the depression, medicine was the first profession and art the second. At a very early age Salisbury’s parents instilled in him a strong respect for the sanctity of life and an appreciation for beauty.
Today, as both a reconstructive plastic surgeon and an award winning painter, Salisbury’s upbringing is evident in both his careers. He explained, “The bonuses of a dual education have enriched my life immeasurably. Even while in medical school, I attended the Art Student's League. The skills I developed in art school have helped me to reconstruct mutilated patients and perhaps hone sensitivities to those in need. Dealing with human mortality daily as director of a burn center, has made me appreciate the beauty of the world around me and respect its fragility.”
Salisbury, like so many artists who paint on historic Cape Ann, consistently finds himself on a quest to capture the light of this island in every season of the year. “Pastel is my favorite medium because of its immediacy, brilliance and simplicity.” he said. “Whether drawing with pastel or painting in oil, the goal is always the same, to create rather than destroy. My inspiration is the effort of those who came before me, famous or forgotten, who helped create an artist’s colony we all love.”
In addition to North Shore Arts Association, Roger Salisbury is a member of Rockport Art Association, Pastel Society of America, American Society of Marine Artists, American Artists Professional League, Salmagundi Club, Southern Vermont Art Association and Greenwich Arts Society. His work will be on display at NSAA May 30, 2008 through June 15, 2008.
The North Shore Arts Association is located at 11 Pirates Lane in Gloucester, MA and is open Monday - Saturday from 10:00am to 5:00pm and Sundays from Noon to 5:00pm. Please call 978-283-1857 or visit www.nsarts.org for more information.
