Romany Kramoris Gallery, 41 Main Street, is presenting the works of Barbara Groot and Adriana Barone from Thursday, September 11, through October 2, with a reception for the artists on Saturday, September 13, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Barbara Groot, who grew up in Southern California before studying at UCLA and later working in Manhattan’s fashion industry, now lives in East Hampton. Her bold, lyrical canvases channel the East End’s light and natural beauty, with sweeping brushstrokes that carry the rhythm of musical phrasing and layered color that creates unexpected perspectives. Embracing what she calls “happy accidents,” her paintings invite viewers into a world of movement, luminosity, and openness. Adriana Barone, a Pratt Institute graduate with a background in fine art and art history, returned to painting after years devoted to energy healing in Sag Harbor. Her recent work blends intuitive mark making, imagery, humor, and spontaneity, with influences shaped by her studies with Nicholas Wilton, Linda Capello, John Haubrich, and Melora Griffis. Barone describes her process as a challenge of bringing freedom and life force to the canvas, relishing the breakthroughs that emerge from struggle. For more information, visit kramorisgallery.com.
