Put !o_gether by the East End Arts Council Seeno's latest conception is to floating sculptures out of recycled plastic, and launch them in the Peconic Bay. His first. piece? \Project Neptune,\ a 22-foo.t h1gh plastic board scupture that will be anchored around the Peconic. His publicists stress that the floating. sculpture will be seen not only .from land, but also from recreational, touring ~nd fishing boats. \At night it can be l1t by solar lamps,\ they say. . Now there's an ecologically interest- mg concept! Actually, it wasn't the 22-foot cut-out doll put on view on May 3. It was a scale model of that particular item. The model is on view at the East End Arts Council's galleries at 133 E. Main Street in Riverhead, and will be on . display through May 20. Anson Seeno's resume carries some nice credits on it, including Penn State, Alliance Francais, Cooper Union, and the School of Visual Arts ---- where he was the _recipient of the · Roy Lichtenstein award. He has been shown in solo exhibitions in Manhat .. tan;. assisted Christo, Richard Van Bu~ ren, and Seymour Upton; and been in- volved ,in production of everything form·· 'making, phosphorescent dance costumes (for a New York City theatri'- cal production) to banners for a Hous- ing Action march. Among the items he lists on his resume - under the head., ,ing ''Other Art Related Work\ -· hav- ing been a delegate to Nicaragua's 10th anniversary Revolution celebra- tion in 1989, and having created a di- arama in a restaurant in Brazil. According to the council, Project Neptun.e will be fabricated with ECOBOARD, a product made from · plastic waste which has been re-man- ufactured into rigid plastic composite sheets. The sheets, we are told, are color specific and \ultraviolet safe.\ Thank goodness for that. Want to check out Mr. Seeno's scale model before the real thing floats past your window?

As for Jihong Shi, his work begs for recognition- and not only because of the dramatic story of this Chinese exile's personal history. It is a delight to see his work gracing a gallery of the caliber of Wall Street. Ji Hong Shi's work continues to feature an arresting range of oils, color etchings and wa- tercolor woodcuts - techniques from which much of his fame derives. Exiled to rural China during the cul- tural revolution, the artist was inspired by the water and wood with which he worked as a laborer. His study at the Central Academy of Art in Beijing had already helped him to perfect a spe- cial talent for combining traditional Chinese art with contemporary styles, leading to his work being shown early in his career at the British Museum, the Chinese National Gallery, the Toyama Museum in Japan. and the Delarnas Museum in Sweden.· In the 1980s, reaching what he he rendered trees, flowers and fields termed the limits of where his artwork in intense hues and integrated within could go if he remained in China, the imaginative compositional designs,\ internationally-known artist immigrated noted Mr. ChouairL The artist's im- to the U.S. Since then, his work has pressionist styling utilizes a skill.ful been exhibited in well-known galleries manipulation of thick pigment to con- in New York, Los Angeles, Monte Car- vey the sparkling effects of sunlight lo, and other locations world-wide. and atmosphere.
