Morris Arts will be holding their Fall/Winter 2016-17 Invitational Exhibit and reception on September 29.
By Y McGreevy (Patch Staff) - September 27, 2016 2:15 pm ET while the intricate depictions of landmarks, NJ streetscapes and iconic scenes, all strikingly crafted in wood (using only dremel and water based stains) by artist Sean Carney, fascinate and delight the eye in the 3rd floor |

on March 02, 2016 at 7:00 AM, updated March 02, 2016 at 7:07 AM Moving along on the long back wall of the main gallery, you'll find Sean Carney's award-winning First Snow, done in wood stain on wood. Although it is a classic city scene complete with cars, a few pedestrians on the sidewalk and snow piled up on curbs, the fact that it was done in stains rather than oil or acrylic pigments and is finished with high gloss, lifts it out to the unexpected |

In the room across the hallway you'll find another grouping of important works highlighted by Sean Carney's "Jersey Boys" done on stained birch wood in a limited palette of sienna's. I'll bet you will be captivated, as was I, wondering about his process in creating such an extraordinary piece.

An unusual execution sets off “Jersey Boys,” Sean Carney’s streetscape in stained and carved birch. The golden wood tone paradoxically lends an elegiac quality to the image, as though the artist had devised a sepia photograph or daguerreotype of a contemporary scene.

Artist Sean Carney ‘s stained wood panels depict iconic Philadelphia scenes by carving the surface, using the wood grain and even gashing into the finish to create highlights. The group of panels read as paintings but as you look closer the texture from gouging, whittling and carving becomes apparent, it’s one of those magical moments when an artwork flips from one thing into another.

Urban Agenda New York City May 5 · It's All Wood! Local fine artist, Sean Carney's "recent works on wood are done using only wood stain and a dremel. The texture of the wood and the limited color pallet of the stain are a pleasure and a challenge."

Sean included a few “in the works” pictures which you can find further down. Sean says he soaked the bottles to help peel the labels off, divided them into different color piles and began constructing. He even points out that the cardboard used for the barrels were from our 6-pack carriers! Talk about being thorough in your craft!
Needless to say, Jim was blown away by the final product and surprised to see that so many beer bottle labels could make him look so good. To show his thanks, Jim shot this short video:
