Inspired by the abundant organic growth of New England summers, the McGladrey Art Gallery is hosting FLORA, an exhibition of four Massachusetts artists curated by Christina Godfrey. FLORA runs July 11^th – October 14^th, 2011.

Incorporating drawings by Elli Crocker, paintings by John Gentile, sculpture by Gints Grinbergs, and prints by John Thompson, FLORA examines patterns, and similarities found in nature through varying levels of abstraction. Contact Christina Godfrey for viewings: ChristinaMaryGodfrey@gmail.com.

 Flames engulf the brand as it makes contact with the wood. Compositions, linear, organic, geometric, emerge intuitively from Bisbee’s mind. He is fascinated by the fire, smoke, and pattern.

The wood panels introduce a new element to Bisbee’s body of work, a drawing, a print, but still derived from his signature 12 inch nail. They also retain Bisbee’s dynamic exchange between industrial and organic, masculine and feminine, hard and soft. A video of Bisbee branding can be seen here,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eoGs0ojngM

You Can’t Hide (left) is an oil on canvas by John Gentile. Gentile, Italian born artist, began his career as a graphic designer in Milan, Italy. He moved to the Boston area in the late 1960’s and began painting full time in the early 1970’s. His most recent work combines collage, Adobe Photoshop, and painting. On canvas, Gentile paints fractured areas of magazine collage peeking through a layer of color applied in Photoshop. This technique allows the viewer to identify subjects in the collage, but only if they take the time to look between the abstraction. Gentile currently lives and works in Lynnfield, MA.

 Autumn (right) is a color photograph on vinyl by Carolyn Rochalski, teen participant at Artists for Humanity.      Teens in Artists for Humanity’s photography department have been developing a series of “kaleidoscopic” images. To create the work, participants shoot a variety of natural and architectural compositions, which they crop and recompose using Adobe Photoshop. The stunning results are large, high-resolution prints of complex forms built from a simple original image. Artists for Humanity’s mission is to bridge economic, racial and social divisions by providing underserved youth with paid employment in the arts. The non-profit organization is based in South Boston, MA.

Luminous Landscape:

Reception: Wednesday, March 2^nd, 5:30-7:30pm

McGladrey Art Gallery, McGladrey, 80 City Square, Charlestown, MA.

RSVP: bostonevents@mcgladrey.com

On Wednesday, March 2nd, the McGladrey Art Gallery is hosting a reception for the Luminous Landscape exhibit, curated by Christina Godfrey of the Sunne Savage Gallery. The exhibit showcasing paintings by Linda Cordner, Dorothy Simpson Krause, Tracy Spadafora, Charyl Weissbach, Gregory Wright, and Diane Bowie Zaitlin will be on view through July 8th. 

 Luminous Landscape is a conceptual group initiative that explores the diversity of nature using various encaustic techniques and approaches.  The artists in this show have employed encaustic as a unique means for exploring the subtle and mesmerizing nature of their surroundings. When painting in encaustic, the melted wax fused with pigment naturally interacts with light, creating a luminosity that is unique to the medium. The combination of wax, color, and texture lead to unique imagery that appear to transcend the typical dimensions of earth, space, and time, evoking feelings of inspiration.

Home and Harbor,

 Gillian Christy creates free standing steel sculptures and reliefs in a public and residential scale, a selection of interior sculptures are exhibited in Home and Harbor. Inspired by common objects found in architecture, industry, and nature, Christy’s sculptures possess a hint of Americana as she reconstructs quilts, grain silos, wagon wheels, and weather vanes out of steel, bronze, and copper.

 John Vinton’s canvases are abstracted depictions of his travels. Home and Harbor exhibits a selection of canvases inspired by Cape Cod and coastal Maine. Through Vinton’s painterly approach he harnesses the essence of a location with gestural strokes of an oil stick, massive swipes of a palette knife, and sculptural mounds of paint.

 Home and Harbor is held at 80 City Square, Charlestown, MA. The gallery is open Monday through Friday 9am -5pm and is open by appointment. To make an appointment please contact Christina Godfrey (link to Gmail). Works by both Gillian Christy and John Vinton can be seen at sunnesavage.com
