Artists’ Gallery in Lambertville is hosting "Anticipation," a joint exhibition featuring the narrative paintings of Laura Rutherford Renner and Alla Podolsky. Running from April 9 through May 3, the show highlights Renner’s use of bold color and shadow to capture snapshots of contemporary life alongside Podolsky’s emotionally charged works that draw on her Ukrainian heritage and personal memories.
This exhibition brings together two distinct approaches to narrative painting within the regional art scene, contrasting Renner’s observational, problem-solving technique with Podolsky’s psychological and universal storytelling. By showcasing artists from Collingswood and Philadelphia, the gallery continues its role in fostering local artistic dialogue and connecting community audiences with representational oil painting.
