The Atelier presents Dr. Frederic Mendelsohn’s picturesque landscape scenes in a solo exhibition, opening Thursday, April 2 and running through Thursday, April 30.

Dr. Mendelsohn’s profound vision transcends a simple landscape view to uncover “unobvious” scenes. By using color symbolism and brushwork to mirror the stillness translates intangible feelings into visual elements. When a viewer engages with the resulting work, they aren't just seeing a scene; they feel the heat of a painted sun or the calm of a silent pond.
“I think of myself as a truth seeker. I want to create an original work that emulates Mother Nature in a painterly fashion, rendering art that captures the effects of atmosphere through color and light. My goal is to effortlessly paint what I envision in my mind’s eye.”

Dr. Frederic Mendelsohn, is a modern-day Renaissance man — neurologist, philanthropist, author, musician and artist. He is the holder of both a BA and MA degree as well as a MD, and is predominantly a landscape artist utilizing both oil and egg tempera paints. With over four decades of experience, Frederic has studied extensively with the Art Students League in NYC, The Art League of Long Island, New School University, and Marymount College, and is a proud member of the Long Island Museum Artist Guild as well as the Setauket Artist Group and the North Shore Art Guild.

The opening reception for this amazing solo exhibition is Thursday, April 2, 5:30-7:30PM. Come meet Dr. Mendelsohn and experience the beauty of our local landscape! For more information. call 631-250-9009.
