A new exhibition titled, Coney
Island: Visions from the Boardwalk by Gail Ingis-Claus will run through Sept. 30th
at the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum, 295 West Avenue, Norwalk, CT.
Inspired by a lifetime of loving memories of Coney Island,
her playground from childhood to maturity, artist Gail Ingis-Claus depicts this
landmark resort through a collection of twenty-five works, ranging from the
representational to the abstract.
Bright hues and rhythmic brushstrokes
highlight this magnetic and alluring destination of American culture where
dizzying, neon-colored rides on the Cyclone and swings and slides on the Wonder
Wheel, evoke images and memories of a by-gone era. Ms. Ingis-Claus’ work has been exhibited throughout the
region including: the Fairfield Arts Council, Lyme Association, Madison Art
Society, Guilford Art League, Barnes & Noble, both Westport, CT and
Paramus, NJ, among others.
The exhibit will be on view as part of LMMM’s tours, Wed.-Sun. at noon, 1, 2, and 3 p.m. General
Admission: $10 for adults, $8 for seniors, and $6 for children and young adults, ages 8-18. The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum is a
National Historic Landmark. For more information on schedules and programs
