Migrating Colors 2015, Haitian Art at Wedeman Art Gallery
By Rhiannon Leigh Newton, MA - “Migrating Colors 2015,” an exhibition featuring the work of 10 Haitian artists, is currently on view at Lasell College’s Wedeman Gallery. These artists, both from Massachusetts and Jacmel, Haiti, depict their experiences of the 2010 earthquake and the subsequent emotional journey from loss to acceptance to growth. Common themes within the work include the marketplace, the jungle, magic realism, voodoo rituals and, most importantly, a sense of community. The artists, who had lost their workspace, materials and many of their works during the earthquake, also lost the drive and passion to create art. However, with the help of the Haitian Arts Assembly, the artists were able to obtain new materials and through the creation of new works, were able to transform from victim to survivor. The exhibition features paintings by Norestant Lamour, Vady … [Read more...] about Migrating Colors 2015, Haitian Art at Wedeman Art Gallery
Sarah Meyers Brent: Primal Garden at the Walter Feldman Gallery, Boston
By Sarah Kinkade Boston, MA - Life is a complicated mess: there are ups and downs, joys and disappointments, smooth sailings and rough landings. It can be both ugly and beautiful, yet, the view of beauty generally prevails as almost everyone can agree that ‘life is beautiful.’ This sentiment is captured in the artwork of Sarah Meyers Brent. Brent’s inspiration mainly comes from her own life as she works through various situations and events, finding beauty in untraditional ways. Within her drawings and sculptural paintings, she embraces the ugliness of things while highlighting the hidden prettiness underneath it all. And yes, many of her paintings go beyond the standard definition of the word and enter the category of sculpture as they ooze and explode off the canvas. Many of her materials are organic — for example, flowers and dirt — mixed with acrylic to help give it shape. … [Read more...] about Sarah Meyers Brent: Primal Garden at the Walter Feldman Gallery, Boston
The Transformative Art of Martin Bridge
By Natalia Chilcote Roxbury, MA - The first installment of Inner Sanctum Studio’s Salon series on March 28 presented the exhibit, “The Transformative Art of Martin Bridge.” A dedicated mycologist, painter and theater instructor, Bridge’s life has been shaped by and remains rooted in visceral experiences of and participation in the natural world. A passion for the ancient networks that form the basis for Earth’s soil systems continuously inform his art and inspires him to explore new avenues in his work. At the heart of his art is a personal transformation that he underwent years ago while exploring the forest with friends. A chance encounter with the root systems in the ground led him into a deeper interest in mycelial colonies and their roles in aggregating nutrients and the speed of plant decomposition within terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The writings of famous … [Read more...] about The Transformative Art of Martin Bridge
Celebrating International Women’s Day at IBA Gallery
By Natalia Chilcote Boston, MA - In celebration of International Women's Day, visiting the Villa Victoria Center for the Arts to view the exhibit, "Mujeres: Poetic Revelations of Our Lives," while artists Silvia Lopez Chavez and Nora Valdez were both in attendance. Against the white walls of the IBA Gallery, bright shades of pink, turquoise and green surround Silvia Lopez Chavez's canvassed face as she puffs out her cheeks in harsh concentration. The kaleidoscope of tiny air 'bubbles' escaping her pursed lips capture the moment just before she gives in. On the wall to the right, a video loops, replaying Chelsea residents engaged in similar activity. Joining them as well as the life-sized portraits of nine of these Chelsea residents, Chavez's self-portrait, "Hold Your Breath', serves as a point of conversation surrounding the dysfunctional structures that have created inadequate … [Read more...] about Celebrating International Women’s Day at IBA Gallery
