Piermont Flywheel Gallery

July 28 through August 21, 2022

Three featured artists reach into their creative spirits with an evocative Confluence of Colors - the newest exhibit at the Piermont Flywheel Gallery!

Mario Merchan

"While I draw much of the inspiration for my work from memories of my childhood in Ecuador, I am equally inspired by raw human emotion and the experiences of every day life. I believe all things have character, whether moving or stationary, and I seek to bring that out through my art.”

Sally Schaedler

"For many of us, painting is not a choice, it is an obsession and my obsession with painting has never stopped. My work reflects the challenges and different experiences in my life. Life is like a puzzle; we explore the way shapes intersect and sometimes hide the obvious behind a mask."

Rachele Unter

"I throw myself into the wild dance of art, searching for a deeper sense, and trying to see into the nature of things both physical and imaginary. I gaze at the object which is the subject of a work, but I also look beyond the object and contemplate what it means in my life and how best to communicate and share that meaning.”

We welcome all of our loyal patrons and new visitors to the gallery. The safety and health of our guests is most important to us as an artistic community.
That's why we maintain social distancing and best practices as set forth by the CDC and the New York State Health Department at all of our exhibits.
As we welcome you to the gallery, we know that you will respect those guidelines.

History

"We want people to sense something special when they enter our gallery." -- Jeanne Treat-Tozer

In 1992, Piermont's first artist-run gallery opened its doors to the public. Twenty-four artists joined forces to create a cooperative gallery dedicated to exhibiting the finest work of artists living and working within the New York tri-state area.

In 1992, Piermont was still a relatively quiet community enjoying its lovely Hudson River setting. Today the village bustles with visitors from far and wide. The Flywheel Gallery is no longer the only co-op gallery. There is another one next door, as well as many commercial galleries.

The Flywheel, however, can boast of being there in the beginning. Back in 1992 when this dedicated group of artists got together to create an elegant, functional and friendly artist-run space, Jeanne Treat-Tozer, a painter and one of the gallery's founders, explained at the time, "We want people to sense something special when they enter our gallery. We want them to feel comfortable and confident when selecting works."

Among the more notable members of the gallery was Alan Gussow, whose untimely death in May of 1997 was a shock to the arts community world-wide.

Flywheel Gallery artists work in a wide range of mediums. Each has earned an enviable reputation in his or her field. Their work is varied but they share the common goal of providing the gallery visitor with the best art experience possible.
