Max Horbund Art Exhibition to Benefit The Community Chest of Eastern Bergen County
Don't miss this opportunity to see the work of Bergen County artist Max Horbund and support a great cause!
Bergen County artist Max Horbund will display his work in an exhibition, Expressions, at the Englewood Framing Gallery from November 4 through December 30, 2023. A portion of the proceeds of the sale of Horbund's art will benefit The Community Chest of Eastern Bergen County.
Opening Reception
An opening reception launches the exhibition on Saturday, November 4 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Englewood Framing Gallery, located at 44 North Dean Street, in Englewood, New Jersey. The reception is free and open to the public. Horbund's work may also be viewed during the gallery's business hours --Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. The gallery is closed on Sunday and Monday.
Horbund's work focuses on realist painting. His latest work evolved to a more contemporary abstract and semi-abstract vision meant to give form to forces experienced as a confluence of deep, quickly moving emotional tides and unconscious cognition.
His work is found in government, corporate, and private collections and in several galleries in the New York City metropolitan area, throughout the United States and in Japan. He has shared his knowledge of painting as an instructor at the Art Students League of New York and The Art Center of Northern New Jersey.
Galleries carrying his work include Grand Central Art Gallery, Uma Gallery and Tenri Gallery in New York City; Black Orchid Gallery in Mystic, Connecticut; Vail Fine Arts in Vail, Colorado; United States Coast Guard in Washington, D.C.; Jack Wright Gallery in Palm Beach, Florida; The Art Space Kami Sanjyo in Nara, Japan; and several others.
Horbund holds a Bachelor of Science from Pratt Institute. He received additional training in painting at the School of Visual Arts and the Art Students League of New York, where he also served on the board of directors for 13 years and for three years as its president.
