Hudson, New York - This April Limner Gallery presents Juxtapositions. The group exhibition, which runs from April 3 - 26, is an analytical one. The artworks in the show make comparisons between reality and the imagination. They play against each other and with themselves.

In Ignatius Widiapradja's digital photograph (shown), a figure in a moody Victorian setting is contrast with the figures face, which appears to be skinless and transforms the piece into something bizarre. A similar effect is created using a different medium in Lynette Vought's, acrylic painting, Prelude and Fugue. In Prelude and Fugue Vought paints a serene Madonna and Child that is rendered bizarre by mechanical arms that protrude out and wrap themselves around the child. Other artists, such as Argentinean photographer Claudia Fainguersch, take ordinary objects, in this case a droplet of water, and through technique render them surreal and out of the ordinary. William O'Donnell, a sculptor from Glens Falls, NY, has carved a leather jacket out of wood in frighteningly realistic detail, with knots of wood peering out from the creases of the jacket.
