The work of prominent Warren County artist Carol Yoshimine’s will be displayed at an exhibition at the County College of Morris (CCM) Art Gallery this fall.

Beginning on Oct.13 through Nov. 17, Yoshimine’s exhibition, “Zen Reflections,” will take center stage at CCM’s Art Gallery.  

“The subject matter in my work can be loosely attributed to the contemplative state of Zen and its associated state of harmony with nature,” explains Yoshimine, executive director at the Sussex County Arts and Heritage Council and a resident of Independence Township. “My work is also reflective of the intangibility of existentialist philosophy and the duality between man and the universe.”

Yoshimine’s art often begins with an informal drawing but eventually evolves, incorporating mixed media into prints, monotypes or oil paintings. “It will go through numerous changes before it can regenerate itself into a diverse compilation of etched, painted, drawn, and collaged elements,” she says.

The unique pieces are characterized by contemplation, introspection, and existential abstractions, according to Brian Sahotsky, CCM Art Gallery director and professor, Art & Design at CCM. 

One of her works, Sky Mist, is pictured above.

An opening reception, free and open to the public, will be held for “Zen Reflections” on Thursday, October 13, from 6 – 8 p.m.

The CCM Art Gallery is located inside the Sherman H. Masten Learning Resource Center on CCM’s campus, 214 Center Grove Road, Randolph. Gallery hours are Mondays through Saturdays, from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m.
