Ned Smyth to Academy
Ned Smyth, an internationally known sculptor who lives on Shelter Island, has been inducted to the National Academy along with 19 other academicians. A select group of the nation’s most celebrated artists and architects has been elected to membership in the Academy since 1825. Among the many other notables, past and present, are Frank Lloyd Wright, Frederic Church, Chuck Close, Renzo Piano, and Joan Semmel.
Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton Township, N.J., is now showing “Moments of Matter,” an exhibition of large-scale sculptures and large-format photographs by Mr. Smyth, who is a visual arts instructor at the Ross School.
Nature Observed
East End Arts has paintings by Roxanne Panero of Sagaponack and photographs by Sara Cedar Miller of Hampton Bays on view at the Rosalie Dimon Gallery at the Jamesport Manor Inn in Jamesport through Feb. 1. A reception will take place Sunday from 3 to 5 p.m.
Ms. Panero is a painter whose subjects range from landscape and figurative to conceptual art. The exhibition will include works from her “Nature” series, which explores the diversity of pond life, flowers, and oceans.
Ms. Miller’s photographs capture the bays and ocean near her home in an abstract style that departs from more traditional ways of representing the East End’s waterways.
