(973) 744 0111 JKK FINE ARTS proudly presents new oil paintings and watercolors of VALERIY SKRYPKA “NEW WINGS” August 26 – September 30, 2006 Artist’s Reception Saturday, August 26, 6 – 9 p.m. “… In Valeriy Skrypka’s luminous paintings languid, asexual figures engage in enigmatic encounters and rituals that exist beyond the imagination’s farthest stretch or belong to a half-forgotten dream (…) Ambient light shimmers seductively, surrounding Skrypka’s elegantly attenuated forms with an almost palpable glow and transforming the garments draped over their slender, barely articulated forms into the haute couture of a distant but parallel and infinitely enchanting, if also slightly acerbic, universe …” Sam Hunter, Professor Emeritus of the History of Art at Princeton University Born in 1964 in Ukraine.
