Online Exhibition: "Overlaid & Underpinned"

 Works by Paolo Arao, Anthony Falcetta, Tim Hallinan, Vanessa Irzyk, Kevin Lucey, and Samnang Riebe, on Curating Contemporary until 4/7.

I've had the pleasure of curating this virtual show, which features mesmerizing work by five other painters and recent paintings of my own.

 "Overlaid and Underpinned" is a show about layers and process, time and materiality, and the ways in which each artist's work relies on buried information, evolved structures, and/or superimposed patterns.

From the essay which accompanies the show:  

 

"Everything counts and no element is truly lost, because its shape or absence is acknowledged by its replacement. The first thing we see is only the most recent change to the painter's first decision."

 

Check it out at www.curatingcontemporary.com, where the show will be featured until early April, before moving to the Previous Shows section of the site for your future viewing pleasure. 

Boston Accent Lit, volume 5

The new issue of the online literary and arts journal "Boston Accent Lit" has just gone live, and features a selection of my recent paintings along with the work of other visual artists and writers.  This "wicked good literary site" is a new addition to the creative community in Boston and the wider world, and I'm happy to be a part of it!

Group show at Porter Mill Gallery

I'm excited to be showing brand-new work this month as part of the five-person show ABOVE / BELOW / WITHIN.  Featuring artists from Boston's North Shore, this exhibition focuses on our immediate surroundings: the coastline, the small town, the salt-marsh... the memory of living in and being shaped by a place both enduring and constantly changing.  The works presented range from full abstraction to finely detailed realism, but at every point along the spectrum, it's clear that these pieces share a common territory.

ABOVE / BELOW / WITHIN runs from October 3 to November 1 with an artists' reception on Thursday, October 22 from 6- 9PM.  All are invited... hope to see you there!  (The gallery and studios are also a featured stop on the trolley route during Beverly Arts District's kickoff-day celebration... so if you can't make the reception, check us out on Saturday, Oct. 17.)
