Kitchen Theatre Company to Show 'KEEPERS OF THE SKY' Exhibit by Nicholas Gecan

Kitchen Theatre Company is pleased to announce a new show in their Judith Holliday Lobby Gallery: Keepers Of the Sky: New Paintings by Nicholas Gecan. Gallery Night, Friday, April 1st will be the official opening of this exhibit. The public is welcome between 5pm and 7:30pm. There is a performance of the play Dancing Lessons at 8pm that evening. Some tickets are still available.

"We are thrilled to have Nicholas Gecan's work back at Kitchen Theatre Company," says Artistic Director, Rachel Lampert. "It is exciting to see this series, as it is so different from his first show with us. We are always grateful that we have such talented visual artists in our community to add to the experience of coming to the theater -- not only to see a play, but also enjoy wonderful paintings."

Gecan says of his work, "I'm painting spaces-fragments and moments of the ephemeral fabric of the natural world. I often feel I'm not the artist, that nature is the artist, that I'm a component and a mechanism connecting the dots, filling with color a framework that has always existed."

Nicholas Gecan is an American artist, born May 9, 1975 in Baltimore, Maryland. Working primarily in the medium of acrylic paint, his artwork is based on the natural world and environmental philosophy, and aims at promoting the interest of preservation and sustainability. He currently lives and works in Ithaca, New York with his wife and two children.
