Come join us at Northern Light Espresso Bar for April First Friday in Scranton. It is going to be a great month with the oil abstract work of the very talented artist, Michael Lambert; and the soulful sounds of the infamous Clarence Spady.

The title of Michael Lambert’s show is “Remedied Those Carnival Blues,” which references the 9 to 5 work grind (and then some – to attempt to make ends meet), struggling from paycheck to paycheck, and giving everything you can to take care of your family and set a good example. The reference to a carnival is both direct and metaphoric.

The works as separate entities begin as paint, surface and an innate drive to make paintings. As Lambert says, “there is no truer window for a cathartic and expressive act than painting.” His recent works express the meditative and subtle – but as an end result. The layer building is frantic and almost a reference back to action painting. Yet he slaps the paint on in just one color at a time. Layer after layer he uses different tools and methods to apply the paint to build somewhat of topography. The process then slows as the surface he wants is there, and then he begins to explore color.

How great!

So stop in, because you don’t want to miss this; or the infamous Clarence Spady!
