503 Social Club (503 Third St, Hoboken, NJ)
Multi-media artist Marykate O'Neil has released six albums, a few cassettes, and a couple of .45’s. Her music has been played on the radio, internets and featured in movies and television. Marykate has performed throughout the U.S. and Europe to big festival crowds and to empty seats in darkened basements.
Her paintings are colorful, unique in texture and have an intuitive sense that is often simultaneously representational and expressionistic. Every gesture is made into an artistic experience embracing the pop culture of the everyday. Marykate’s painting practice is closely related to her music: “The more I paint, I feel like my paintings look like my songs sound. In both arenas, I am drawn to small everyday moments that stick to you – the ones where contradictions sit comfortably side by side each other.”
Running from January 28th to February 29th. There will be an opening reception January 28th from 3-5 pm with the artist present.
A performance by Jill Sobule follows at 5pm
