The art exhibition of Arlon Rosenoff, Daphne Nixon and Helen Saunders is now on display at Auburn City Hall.

The exhibit, which will run until Feb. 26, is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. City Hall is located at 25 W. Main St. Admission is free.

Rosenoff, an Auburn artist, depicts landscapes through thick oil paint applied with a palette knife. He uses this unique application method because it allows him the opportunity to interact with paint in a very tactile, expressionistic way. Rosenoff will be teaching a two-day workshop (Feb. 20-21) focusing on this application technique through the City’s Parks, Arts and Recreation department.

Nixon’s still life paintings are the epitome of realism with painstaking detail and elaborate compositions. She challenges herself as how to express all that she sees using a visual language. “If I can see it, I can paint it” is her motto. Daphne will be teaching a Oil Still Life class (March 10) through the City’s Parks, Arts and Recreation department.

Saunders creates abstract paintings using a variety of acrylic mediums, ferns, yarn, stones, and old jewelry. Her style suggests a topographic view from above and is influenced by her passion of textured sculptural forms and flowing earthy colors.
