Al Lachman Celebrates 70 Years Of Painting
Al Lachman is celebrating his 70th year as a professional artist with his 2024 Annual Exhibition “CELEBRATION” at Lachman Gallery. Al Lachman continues to blaze his own trail onto the national and Bucks County art scene. Originally from New York City, Lachman has lived and worked in the New Hope area for the last 25 years and continues to create one-of-a-kind paintings in various mediums (oil, acrylic, pastel, charcoal, etc.) often within the same painting.
A painting by Lachman will not only capture your imagination, but will also become the focal point of the room in which it is hung. Each beginning of a painting is different for Lachman. He explains, “Each medium has its own personality ... things it can do and things it cannot. So when I put them together in the same painting, I can achieve something truly unique. I am a morning painter. I get up and I go to work. I then say to myself ... how can I paint this differently than I have ever painted it before? I challenge myself with the possibility of failure so that I can find new edges within myself ... but I don’t allow it to fail. I stay with it, as long as it takes, until the magic is there.”
CELEBRATION Exhibition will be available from November 9 to December 22, 2024. Lachman Gallery is located at Peddler's Village (Shop #44), Street Road, or Routes 202 & 263, Lahaska, PA. For more information, call 215-794- 5500.
