Romany Kramoris Gallery in Sag Harbor will present “Shinnecock to Montauk,” the artwork of Franklin Engel, September 24 through October 15. A preview reception will be held on Saturday, September 26, from 5 to 6:30 p.m., and the artist’s opening reception will be held on Saturday, October 3, from 5 to 6:30 p.m.
Mr. Engel was born and raised in New York City, and began his professional training at the Art Students League. He is proud to be a life member of the League. Franklin’s work has been exhibited in many galleries in New York including the Deutsche Gallery, Gallery International, 57th Street Gallery, Fusion III, The Art Students League, and Enigma Gallery.
Mr. Engel has created visual theater pieces including “Subways,” “Bench,” and “City Games.” He also created visual elements for the ”New Playwright Series” at New Media Repertory Co., a non-profit theater company based in New York City, which he co-founded with his wife Miranda McDermott in 1976. The artist and his wife continue to call Manhattan home.
“From the very first moment I crossed the bridge over the Shinnecock Canal and entered the Eastern End of Long Island and on to Montauk, I knew I had made a very special connection,” said Mr. Engel. “I experienced a new creative energy that I had to capture. I had to capture the people and the beauty of these special places, including Sag Harbor, Springs, Amagansett, East Hampton, and Montauk. But it all began when I crossed that bridge at Shinnecock Canal.”
The Romany Kramoris Gallery is located at 41 Main Street in Sag Harbor. Call (631) 725-2499 or visit KramorisGallery.com.
