Future Shows

Fabricated Stories

Featuring mixed media works by Dolores Poacelli and David Carrow.

opens with reception Second Friday, February 12, 5 - 8p.m.

The works of these two artists engage us with their physicality. They are very much fabricated. Dolores "paints" with hand-shaped metals and other materials, while David assembles the artifacts of daily life into sculptures. The juxtaposed elements of each artist's work inspire curiosity and contemplation about the stories embedded in their making.

Chromatic Alchemy

features paintings by John Clark and Gabriel Turner Byrne

open with reception March 12, from 5 - 8p.m.

Alchemy can be viewed as an elusive bridge between science and poetry, where reasoned search and serendipitous encounter coexist as potential agents of truth. John and Gabriel both revere the science and traditions of their artistic media, yet seek in their own ways, to court chance occurrences and circumstance as offering means to new discoveries.

continues through April 3.

Other Worlds

Featuring graphite and ink work by Greg Brellochs and sculpture and prints by Allen Linder.

opens with reception April 9, from 5 - 8p.m.

In both Greg and Allen's work we find the allure of mystery and delight in seeing forms emerge from the unknown. Their graphic works in particular capture the essence of fleeting moments, rather than permanence. Dense with detail and intrigue, each of the works in this show is beautiful by virtue of its own exquisite fragility.

Sublime Nature

featuring the photography of Mark Fields and Georg Purvis III

opens with reception May 14, from 5 - 8p.m.

This exhibition contrasts two very different ways of seeing nature's beauty. Georg's photographs, many taken in the Adirondacks, dazzle with their tapestries of luscious color. The richness of detail and evanescent light which Mark captures in his black and white Flower prints, bring their own life to freshly cut blooms.
