Art abounds in Concord this fall — there’s much to see and experience in the town’s galleries, art centers and historic monuments, all within a pleasant walk of each other.
On Main Street, Three Stones Gallery presents Elisa Adams’s mixed media, Tarot-inspired work. The series of sculptures, titled “Formed by the Fates: A Journey through the Major Arcana,” interprets the mystical symbolism of the deck’s 22 main cards, inviting viewers to embark on a meditative and introspective experience of a symbology deeply rooted in western culture and mystical tradition.
The series is both an outgrowth of, and departure from, the artist’s usual media and methods. Here, Adams ventures into fabric, ceramics and resin, in vibrant colors which provide a contrast to the artist’s signature carvings in translucent alabaster.
Presenting a different mystical outlook are encaustic collages by Athena Petra Tasiopoulos. She creates dreamlike spaces, at once abstract and figurative, in a range of earth tones. Painter Avery S. Bramhall’s bold color and gestural brushwork provide an energizing counterpoint. All three shows remain on view through November 23.
Across the street, Lucy Lacoste Gallery will be presenting “Of Root, Stem, and Leaf,” a show highlighting painter and printmaker Ilana Manolson that will run from November 22 through January 3.
