DESCRIPTION:“BEYOND THE WALL”\nExhibit at Janice Charach Gallery\nOctober 26 – December 3\, 2025\nOpening Reception: Sunday\, October 26\, 1-4 p.m.\nArtist Talk: Sunday\, November 23\, 1 p.m. \nStep into a world where boundaries dissolve and space becomes canvas. Beyond\nthe Wall is a captivating art exhibit showcasing the work of contemporary\nsculptors who challenge the conventions of dimensionality. Featuring a curated\nblend of wall-mounted pieces and free-standing sculptures\, this collection\nexplores the interplay between surface and structure\, intimacy and\nmonumentality. \nEach artist brings a unique approach to material\, form\, and spatial\npresence—whether affixed to the wall or commanding the floor. From subtle\nreliefs that blur the line between painting and sculpture\, to bold\, immersive\nforms that invite movement and reflection\, these works engage viewers in a\ntactile and visual conversation. \nThis exhibit invites you to experience sculpture not as static object\, but as\nactive participant—transforming the walls\, occupying the air\, and reshaping\nhow we perceive space itself. \nFeatured Artists:\nTerrence Campagna\nDoug Cannell\nAmelia Currier\nRobert Mirek\nJohn Rizzo\nMike Ross\nAmadeus Roy\nLarry Zdeb \nEXHIBIT SPONSORS: Manat Foundation\, Doris Shulman\, Esther Hankin\, Dr. Judy\nBalan Pearl\, Sue & Alan Jay Kaufman Foundation \nPROGRAM SPONSORS: Lesley & Dr. Barry Feldman\, Judy & Dr. John Marx\, Arlene &\nJack Schultz \nFor more on exhibits and events\, visit\n(https://charachgallery.org). \nOPEN HOURS DURING EXHIBITS:\nSunday\, Tuesday\, Wednesday – 10 am – 4 pm\nThursday – 11 am – 7 pm\n*Visit the website or social media for up-to-date information & holiday closures. \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/12749
