    “Sister Wendy Beckett has transformed public appreciation of art through her astonishing knowledge, insight and passion for painting and painters.” This set includes Sister Wendy's Story of Painting, Sister Wendy's Odyssey, and Sister Wendy's Grand Tour. Simultaneously delightful and scholarly--this is a must have for anyone interested in art history.

  • Exit Through the Gift Shop
    Exit Through the Gift Shop
    When British stencil artist Banksy traveled to Los Angeles to work, he came across obscure French filmmaker Thierry Guetta and his badly organized collection of videotapes involving the activities of graffiti artists. Inspired, Banksy assembled them with new footage to create this talked-about documentary, and the result is a mind-boggling and odd film (so strange as to be thought a hoax by some) about outsider artists and the definition of art itself.
  • The Impressionists
    The Impressionists
    A dramatization of the Impressionist movement as seen through the eyes of Claude Monet. Highly entertaining and informative.

An Opening Reception for “Shadows and Light” will be held this Saturday, May 13th, at the OAC Steamer Firehouse Gallery, 117 Main Street, 2nd Floor, Ossining, NY. Admission is FREE.

Rob Niosi is a filmmaker and artist who works in a broad range of media. In his own words…

From a very young age I have been compelled to draw, paint and… build things. When I was 8-years-old I picked up my father’s home movie camera and began my journey as a filmmaker. I have made a career in nearly ever aspect of film and video production including writing, producing, directing, set design and construction, prop building, special-effects make-up, stop-motion animation, cinematography, and more.”

I recently completed a 12-year project constructing a full scale Time Machine inspired by the 1960 MGM film of the same name. This project has recently been chronicled in a feature length documentary entitled, How To Build A Time Machine. 

Many of my pieces in the “Shadows and Light” exhibit are inspired by the idea of time travel—and my love of vintage mechanical gadgets—which I often repurpose as objects that explore the interplay between shadows and light.

PLEASE DO make it a point to attend the Opening Reception to this amazing exhibit. It will be an afternoon well spent!
