paintings on display

The June exhibit at the Back Mountain Memorial Library’s Art Display Wall is a collection of artwork by Gary Bucchalter, of Trucksville.


Bucchalter has enjoyed art since his childhood and has continued his enthusiasm for art by receiving a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from the Pratt Institute. He also earned his Master’s degree in Fine Arts from Brooklyn College.

Bucchalter’s exhibit will include oil paintings, charcoal and pencil drawings as well as Pen and ink drawings. He is also “introducing” a young artist of whom he is especially proud, his 12-year-old son, Lorenzo, and has included one of Lorenzo’s pieces in his exhibit.

Bucchalter explains that his artwork offers him “peace of mind” and describes his favorite piece in this exhibit: an oil painting titled “John’s Place,” featuring a scene of John Lennon.
