We welcome the art and photography of Bill DeNoyelles to The Gallery in the Glen Rock Public Library for the month of October.
Bill DeNoyelles received his BFA from The School of Visual Arts, NYC - where the prevailing aesthetic was one of innovation, exploration & experimentation with materials. In addition to his professional accolades as a writer and poet, Bill’s artwork has been shown consistently throughout the Hudson River Valley & beyond including Habitat for Artists (Carmel, CA), Create Community (Cold Spring, NY), The Woodstock School of Art (Woodsrock, NY), The Greene Art Gallery (Gulford, CT), Catalyst Art Gallery (Beacon, NY), Volition (Orangeburg, NY), The Garrison Art Center (Garrison, NY), Geoffrey Young Gallery(Great Barrington, MA.) & at Bergen Community College in Paramus, NJ. He won the First Place/Mixed Media Award for three consecutive shows in a row (2019-2020) as part of Bergen Art in the Park.
Bill considers the poet and author Bernadette Mayer the singular most important influence on his life as an Artist and Photographer. In her words:
“Bill DeNoyelles is consistent, prolific and reliably beautiful. He can connect with others so rapidly and let them perceive concepts they had only previously dreamed of - I've seen it happen. He is unrelenting in his devotion to the truth. This, along with his observational powers, creates in him an objectivity not often found in many artists."
The Gallery was established through a partnership with the Friends of the Library in 2006. Maintained by the Friends, it is a designated space and carries with it an opportunity to enhance the Library itself, and at the same time to enhance patrons’ cultural experiences. It has become a creditable exhibition space attracting artists within the local art community, northern New Jersey, and throughout the New York metropolitan area. The establishment of The Gallery further defines the important place the Library holds to all citizens of the community. For further information visit www.friendsglenrocklibrary.org
