Exhibition- Alan Goldstein: Elemental

Using the language of abstraction, Alan Goldstein (b. 1938) explores nature, the human figure, and mortality in his large-scale paintings, drawings, and sculpture. Goldstein works in concert with his media, whether oil paint, acrylic, ink, charcoal, or pastel, to express the underlying structure and processes of the world around him, finding beauty and emotional power in unexpected places. Curated by Chief Curator Laura Turner Igoe, this exhibition presents over four decades of the artist’s work and will be accompanied by an illustrated catalogue.

Alan Goldstein received his BFA from the Philadelphia College of Art (now the University of the Arts) and MFA from the Pratt Institute in New York. He has been a resident of Bucks County since the 1970s, when he started teaching drawing and painting at Bucks County Community College. His work is represented in over 70 private collections in the United States and abroad, and he has exhibited his work at the Michener Art Museum, the Woodmere Art Museum, and Art Works in Trenton, New Jersey, among other institutions. Since 2003, he has been a Professor Emeritus at Bucks County Community College.
