Local Westchester NY artist Jill Krutick Paints Mural-Sized “Shangri La Wishes, 2024” for a Community Space Holiday celebration at Atelier Modern
LARCHMONT, NY, UNITED STATES, November 18, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Larchmont Chamber of Commerce celebrates “Sleighbells on the Avenues” beginning November 30th, 2024, Small Business Saturday. A fun-packed schedule of local events is tied to this celebration, including a “wishing wall,” a community space for residents to share their holiday wishes for the entire season. The wishes will be collected and incorporated into an installation by local abstract expressionist artist Jill Krutick. Commissioned by the Larchmont Chamber of Commerce, Krutick will create a painting inspired by light in celebration of all the holidays that take place in the fall – Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Diwali, New Year, and the Winter Solstice. Krutick will be installing “Shangri La Wishes, 2024,” a 6 x 9-foot painting at a local design store — Atelier Modern — located at 2091 Boston Post Road, Larchmont for the celebration.
Nancy White, president of the Larchmont Chamber of Commerce said, “The Chamber is pleased to commission talented local artist Jill Krutick to create our Wishing Wall installation for Sleighbells on the Avenues this year. Her work will inspire the community to come together to share their wishes and dreams.”
Krutick added, “Shangri La Wishes imagines an idyllic, bright, and peaceful place where we dream and get inspired. I am overjoyed to share this painting for such an inspired holiday celebration.”
ABOUT SHANGRI LA SERIES
The Shangri La Series includes dream-like landscapes and has roots in the abstract landscape tradition of Monet. The materials employed to create Shangri La works often vacillate between oil and acrylic, but all contain ample texture and lively, primary colors denoting trees or leafy formations. The iterative process of layering and finding the perfect blend of colors and textures is a meditative exercise. Shangri La is a fantasy place in which to get lost.
