Sculpture By Judith Peck, Ramapo College Art
Professor, Featured
in Exhibit at Bergen Museum of Art & Science
(Mahwah)
- Sculpture by Mahwah resident and Ramapo
College of New Jersey art professor Judith
Peck is featured in “Sculpture in
Bronze,” an exhibit at the Bergen Museum of Art & Science
in Paramus. Cathy St. John is guest curator of the exhibit,
which continues through June 4.
A
reception for the artist will be held April 28 at the museum’s
recently expanded gallery. Peck notes, “My sculpture
is about people: how they look, how they behave, how
they endure hardship and how they find the meaning, truths
and joys of life.” In addition to bronze, Peck
also works in steel and mixed media. “Some of my
thematic concerns are about the choices people make and the
choices made for them by history, by chance, by the intensities
of their emotions and experience. These themes often
involve individuals and families, and individuals alone in
families.”
In
addition to teaching, the artist has authored
numerous books. Peck’s sculptures are in approximately 80
public and private collections including the American Art Collection
of the Yale University Gallery and the Ghetto Fighters Museum
in Israel. Local outdoor works are installed at the Teaneck
Public Library, Tenafly High School and the Ridgewood train
station. Her work has been exhibited at the National
Academy Galleries in New York, the Baltimore
Museum of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy,
the Detroit Institute, the New Jersey State Museum and also
at numerous universities.
The
Bergen Museum of Art & Science is located in the Bergen
Mall, lower promenade, Route 4 East and Forest Avenue, Paramus. The
