ACES Magazine April 2020

The April 2020 issue of ACES is available online only. Given the current circumstances in the world today, the Publisher made the difficult decision not to have a print version this month.

 

ACES Magazine April 2020

 

I have two articles in this issue.

The first article I wrote for this issue, April Showers on the East End of Long Island (pages 17-19), is in keeping with my previous columns for ACES, and highlights upcoming events on the East End of Long Island originally scheduled for this April.

 

However, as we reached our deadline in mid-March, at least one of these events was postponed. Please check the venues for cancellations, as I am certain others have since followed suit given our 'new normal' in the moment. Some venues, I am told, will be streaming, or offering other options online. Which brings me to my second article. 

 

 

My second article in this issue, A World of Art at your Fingertips (page 6-7), celebrates so many of the wonderful websites that we are able to access while remaining quarantined at home with our families. With every challenge we collectively face, we manage to collectively find the silver lining in those challenges, very often summoning dormant creative forces within ourselves to do so.

 

 

Where we can’t leave our homes, we find new ways of bringing our creative talents to your homes, be it through an online publication, or through the many links you will find in my second article that bring the magic of live theater, opera, art fairs and national parks to you.

 

We hope you are all staying safe, responsible and healthy while finding your own creative ways to be utilizing your newfound time.

Lady Blue and Her Magic Cape At The Circus, by Christine Alfery Scores Cover of June ACES Magazine!

Lady Blue and Her Magic Cape At the Circus, an acrylic painting on canvas by Contemporary Conceptual Artist, Christine Alfery, adorns the Cover of ACES Magazine this month!

 

The painting, which measures 60x50, is a featured work from Christine's At the Circus series that will be one of five paintings on display at Christine's exhibition with Artblend Gallery at Art Market Hamptons in Bridgehampton, NY this July 5th-7th 2019.

 

Inspired by the film, The Greatest Showman, Christine's At the Circus series draws from her rich childhood memories of the circus coming to town, and the impressions that these magical images left on her young imagination. Christine has shared that these memories of the circus fit right in with the way she looks at art as something unique and original for every performance.

 

Christine further expresses: "I create paintings with as much childlike freedom as I can gather from such memories as an adult, encumbered in an adult world. I think as I create - how can I think and paint with the freedom I had as a child, going to magical places like a circus, where impossible things happen, where you can dream and laugh a little, dance and twirl around, wearing magical capes that engulf you in a fantasy world of fun?"

 

This particular painting also inspired a poem by her friend, the esteemed poet, Elizabeth Tornes, which further brings these images and childhood memories to life through the power of poetry.

 

At the Circus

by Elizabeth Tornes

Inspired by Christine Alfery's 'At the Circus' series of paintings

 

Who are these women

who flame up, spin and whirl

in velvet robes, ballet dresses,

bedecked in jewels and spandex? Lady Blue

strides to the ropes, her mouth a ring of red,

blonde tresses flying, flips

over the trapeze easily

as a chimp, swings dizzily above us.

She rides a bike on the tightwire

while balancing a parasol

on the tip of her nose.

 

The clown's face is a cross,

red slashes on white face, Her blue dog

leaps from barrel to barrel,

dances in circles on the horse's back.

Proud and bejeweled

as Austro-Hungarian queens,

these women carry the burden of being

an artist in a man's world. I want to live

like them, in a dream of my own making, fold

myself into a magic blue cape,

disappear, and reappear at will,

dazzling in a spotlight.

 

The poem has also been reprinted in the June 2019 issue of ACES Magazine, along with a story about Christine Alfery and her work. This marks the 6th Anniversary Edition of ACES Magazine, a monthly publication covering the Arts, Culture, Entertainment Scene & More on Long Island and beyond. We are beyond excited to be a major feature in this celebratory edition Celebrating the Arts on Long Island! Thank-you Amy Oliver, Publisher & Editor extraordinaire! 

 

If you live on Long Island or Queens, you can find a print copy of ACES at any of these locations.

Otherwise, you may access the digital copy of the publication here.

ABOUT CHRISTINE ALFERY:

Christine Alfery has been creating and selling her art since the 1960’s. In the 1990’s she was a creative force on the national interior design scene. As her style has evolved, so has the interest, intrigue and demand for her work. Christine’s paintings have been widely exhibited in museums, galleries and in corporate and private collections throughout the United States and the world.

Her artistic style shows a maturity that comes from a lifetime of creative exploration. Christine’s “experimental abstractions” are filled with playful iconic symbols which enable her to “integrate the real with the abstract”. Christine is deeply influenced by the abstract expressionists, including: Hans Hofman, Mark Rothko, Elaine and Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, Joan Mitchell, Helen Frankenthaler and Cy Twombly, to name a few, yet her style is uniquely her own.

Christine earned her Bachelors of Science degree, her Master’s degree in Education, her MFA degree and her Ph.D in Contemporary Art History from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

She shows her contemporary, conceptual watercolor and acrylic paintings nationally and internationally. She competes in watercolor competitions around the world.
