Now for the first time masterful oil paintings are coming to light. For much of her life Ellen Mandelbaum has been internationally known for Stained Glass commissions for churches, synagogues, public and private buildings, even a thirty-foot high window for The South Carolina Aquarium. Only a loyal following knew about the oil paintings made fifty years ago. She kept them safe in her home and studio, attic and basement. This November fifteenth they will receive a world premiere at Gallery35, the gracious brick- walled Murray Hill Brownstone. Watercolors and projected images of major glass commissions will also be included.

“I will be exhibiting works from fifty years but I’m particularly excited to be showing oil paintings that ran counter to the dominant Pop Art and Minimalism of the sixties. I wanted a greater range of emotion and beauty.” Often Mandelbaum’s works were based on landscapes, such as Tuckerman Ravine. The large oil painting, made on hand-prepared canvas, began with sketches from a hike in The White Mountains.

Mandelbaum will also be exhibiting watercolor paintings and stained glass.

“My artworks have been lovingly preserved. Some of them were first exhibited at Gallery35 in a show appropriately called Buried Treasures. I know this happens to a lot of artists. Maybe I was before my time, but I never gave up. It will be very gratifying to see many of these works together like it has come full circle, and would make me feel whole. ”

Gallery35—dubbed the “secret gallery” of Murray Hill—is quickly approaching its 10th Anniversary.

Fifteen current, past and founding artist/members of Gallery35 will participate in a special celebratory exhibit. The artists have been invited to exhibit pieces from their first show as members—as well as new/current work. A special display of posters from many of the previous exhibitions can be viewed at the receptions.

The gallery has a venerable history with its first exhibition held in September 1966 followed by numerous and varied shows over the years.

In 2004, a small group of artists from Community Church of New York joined together and began mounting an annual exhibition of their work. As gallery membership grew, the number of exhibits expanded to 5 or 6 solo and group shows each year from September through June. In 2010, the name of the gallery was changed to Gallery35.

Each year a special exhibit features the work of such groups as displaced or refugee artists from such countries as Iraq, Burma and Haiti.

Today over 20 artists, including several Murray Hill residents, regularly exhibit at Gallery35. The collective includes several nationally known, award-winning and classically-trained artists, as well as artists who have had solo shows throughout the country.

Opening Reception: May 3rd  6-8pm
Closing Reception: June 21st  6-8pm
