“Kaleidoscopic Pathos,” paintings by Bennington-based Renée Bouchard, will be on view from July 5 through September 30 at the Vermont Governor’s Gallery, Pavilion Office Bldg., 5th Floor, 109 State St., Montpelier, VT. Bouchard combines views from the landscape and elements of the human experience by way of observation, memory and invention, sometimes adding unexpected materials into her work, including “studio detritus, human hair, nails, thread, gifts, imperfect canvases, and old paint” that allow her to “express the symbiosis of decay and creation.”
