Newton's bronze

While Fashion Week is in full swing at its new venue at the Lincoln Center, there is an even greater show going on at the Shelter Rock Art Gallery. The following are sculptures by one of Chong's students in sailing class, Mark Newton. Twenty of these pieces are on display at the gallery.

These works define a prolific artist such as Mark.
Awesome. How else can I describe them?

Convocation IV

Convocation III

Sail

Lovers

Fluid Plurality

What a perfect backdrop - the grounds of the church

Mark's Bronze Statement

The Social Hall of the Unitarian Universalist Church where the gallery is housed at Shelter Rock

A view from the outside

Picture windows

Hues of bright orange peeking through the glass blend with the dark green frames and the ivy climbing on the stone walls

Models twirling and looking phenomenal are definitely no match for Mark's sculpture.
Convocation IV retails at $15,000. Wow!
I first encountered his work , another bronze piece entitled Torso, at the Water Mill Museum near the Hamptons last year.
