Art work of dresses and shoes by Patricia Canney, Susan Freda, Holly Gaboriault, Larisa Martino, Kelly O’Neal and Kyle Ragsdale are on view through May 27 in “Fashion Statements” at the ArtProv Gallery in the Doran Building, 150 Chestnut St., Providence, R.I. “The pieces in this exhibit are as beautiful as they are varied,” said the gallery’s co-owner Michele Aucoin. “Yet what unites them is the artists’ love of fashion icons.” There’s a series of events tied to the show — a “Girls Night Out” art and fashion shopping experience on May 13 from 5-9 p.m.; expanded evening hours from 5-9 p.m. during Gallery Night Providence on May 19 and The Artists Loop hosts a talk with artists Gaboriault and Martino on May 25 from 5:30-7:00 p.m.

“Lowell and Beyond,” a collection of paintings of New England landscapes and cityscapes by William Gotha, is the debut exhibition of the Greenwald Gallery from May 4 through 29 at the Art League of Lowell (ALL), 307 Market St., Lowell, Mass. Having been painting since the age of 13 and continuing his pursuit of the craft through work assignments and family trips, Gotha now devotes himself full-time to painting and the William Gotha Studio and Gallery. His work conveys the atmospheric feelings of the locations he paints, be it grass blades close by or threatening storm clouds hovering over distant mountains, and you can “feel” your feet balancing on the rocks or disappearing in the sandy roads he captures.

The photographs of Marc Harrold return from May 6 through June 12 to Lanoue Fine Art, 450 Harrison Ave. #31, Boston, Mass. After spending his formative years — well over a quarter-century — “creating breathtaking imagery for Europe’s largest advertising agencies,” the Parisian digital collage photographer began to pursue his passion for the fine arts full time, receiving his first solo exhibition in 2005. His oversized prints are about time and space and highlighting contrasts. The space can be an endless sky, or the confines of the New York City subway. “This duality is the essence of life; it is at the center of humanity’s search for its place in the world,” Harrold said.

A much-awaited homecoming takes place on May 8 at the Cahoon Museum of American Art, 4676 Falmouth Rd., Cotuit, Mass., when the museum unveils its newly renovated gallery, a new addition and welcomes back a selection of furniture and paintings borrowed from private collections of rarely seen works by Ralph (1910-1982) and Martha (1905-1999) Cahoon that will be displayed in the place of their creation. Exhibition curator Cindy Nickerson noted that, “what made the Cahoons unique was the easy blend of authenticity and whimsy in their 19th-century scenes.” “Coming Home: Works by Ralph and Martha Cahoon,” who were furniture decorators before becoming renowned for their folk paintings (Ralph for his scenes of sailors and mermaids and Martha for her country scenes and natural motifs), remains on view through June 26.

Noting that “New media is sometimes considered the most outré of art forms,” the organizers of “Grounded,” “an exhibition exploring the use of technology in contemporary art,” point out that “The dynamic nature of technology provides artists with a unique platform to substantively consider current events and the nature of the modern world.” The exhibition, taking place from May 13 through June 26 at the Boston Cyberarts Gallery — which is located inside the Green Street T Station on the Orange Line (a radical innovation in its own right) — 141 Green St., Jamaica Plain, Mass., features work by Betsy Connors, Amber Davis Tourlentes, Joseph Farbrook, Caitlin Foley and, Misha Rabinovich, Raquel Fornasaro, Simón García-Miñaúr, Ryan Kuo, Dennis H.

While her work has been recently installed at the Huntenkunst International Art Fair in the Netherlands and Bayfront Nogucci Park at the Miami International Art Fair, you only have to make your way to the Object Center, 460-B Harrison Ave., Boston, Mass., to see Kim Radochia’s current exhibition, “Less.” Composed of over 500 “She Rocks” cast in pulp, her goal is to intersect the boundaries between drawing and sculpture. “I often see the quality of a line or a mark as sculpture in and of itself,” she said. “The repetition of the drawn line is very important in all of the work I create, largely having its roots in repetitive patterns in nature and the patterns of history, culture and domesticity. The reason the intersection is so often explored in mywork is my interest in connecting all things, human and elemental.” The show continues through May 29.

“Support and Defend: Art Relevant to the Veteran Experience,” an open juried show featuring the art of United States Armed Forces veterans and their family members, can be seen through May 29 at The Vets Gallery, The Vets Center, One Avenue of the Arts, Providence, R.I. The Arts League of Rhode Island (ALRI) exhibition was jurored by Thomas F. Morrissey, professor of visual and digital art at Community College of Rhode Island, and painter Ken Steinkamp, an ALRI elected member; both are veterans. Each of the 45-plus artists supplemented their work with a written account of their unique stories. The hope is that the show leads to a larger conversation about the veteran experience. “I ask that you look well beyond merely the high level of aesthetic qualities of the work but uncover the underlying unique visual voices that are only brought about by the deep-rooted, very valid personal experience that ‘veteran’ brings about,” Morrissey said.

“Flight: Explorations in Movement, Migration and Freedom,” an extraordinary artistic study of the “ideas of freedom of expression, pilgrimage and spontaneous exploration” through the eyes of area school children and regional, nationally known and Syrian artists, is on view through June 26 at the West Branch Gallery and Sculpture Park, 17 Town Farm Lane, Stowe, Vermont. Among the participants are “Tammam Azzam, who left Syria for Dubai and has gained national recognition for his work superimposing iconic Western paintings onto images of bombed buildings, and Khaled Akil, a mixedmedia artist whose writings on life in Aleppo have = been published by the New York Times.” The gallery will donate 100 percent of their commission from the sales of Syrian artwork and a portion of all other sales of works featured in the exhibition to the Red Cross in Syria and Yalla! Pour les Enfants, a French national organization providing schooling for refugee children in Lebanon. It’s a reminder of how art can make a difference in the world in which we live.
