Works By Young Local Artists

James Matson – assisted by Natalie Wrubleski – has opened the Henry March Gallery at 183 Main St. in the former Paterno Bros. baseball store, featuring works by young local artists, such as Brendon Hall, photo at right.  Other artists now displaying their works include Devin Gaviria, John Aborn and Nate Katz, as well as Matson himself, who was raised in Cooperstown and is studying for a master’s degree at the Cooperstown Graduate Program in Museum Studies.   “On these walls, we can see the conflict between our rural environment and the much larger, crowded world we experience through an iPhone’s screen,” Matson says on www.henrymarch.com.  “We can see popular media and televised imagery, layered on top of a knowledge of the natural world.”   The gallery is open 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday.  (Parker Fish/AllOTSEGO.com)
