Maggie McCauley: ‘Scapes at Galatea Fine Art
By Puloma Ghosh Boston, Mass. – At the Galatea Fine Arts Gallery on Harrison Ave., Maggie McCauley’s “'Scapes” exhibits detailed, and at times, haunting black and white photographs of urban and natural landscapes from around New England. At first glance, they appear to be just black and white photographs of landscapes you see every day. However, looking further into eachphotograph, one can find unique features and moments that were captured on film, and each image tells a small story about the landscape within. Themes of mortality and temporality surface in the branches of trees and the bricks of buildings, and the photographs breathe with the history of their inhabitants. “Connector,” for instance, is a simple image of a bridge across a river. However, the rusted and weathered quality of the bridge shows its age, and the fact that it has been a connector, not only … [Read more...] about Maggie McCauley: ‘Scapes at Galatea Fine Art

Past Centerfolds 2013
Past Centerfolds: 2013 artscope 42, January/February 2013 Art: STICK IT- Love and Junk Artist: Janet Lage Medium: oil,oilbar, graphite, ink on canvas Dimensions: 60" x48" Artist Statement: I combine a disciplined formal painting process with the raw spontaneity of chance outcome and intuition. I approach each piece with an understanding of a physical image and allow internal forces of perception and chance to collide. Each painting experience is an adventure woven by experiment and intent. The objective is to emphasize the possibility of paint medium with gritty, tactile quality. I leave traces of the application and text in each piece to energize the painted form. My goal is to momentarily harness logic, instinct and guesswork. More of Lage's work may be seen at www.janetlage.com Judges: Michael David, Chair of the fine arts department at the Art Institute of … [Read more...] about Past Centerfolds 2013

I begin with photographs of seemingly ordinary and mundane scenes, which I then paint directly upon to distill and reveal the visually poignant moments that exist all around us, but are often overlooked. There is a quiet anxiety and loneliness in these images of isolated houses, empty chairs and abandoned pools. Shadows loom from unknown/unseen sources, horizon lines become uncomfortably close, people are absent and geographic clues are obscured. Despite … [Read more...] about Past Centerfolds 2010

Past Centerfolds: 2011 artscope 30, January/February 2011 Art: Precarious Living 1 Artist: Carolyn Rordam Medium: Glass works Artist Statement: Modern man seems to be in a constant struggle to live separately from the natural world. However, he is completely dependent on it. We are in an uncertain and ever changing relationship with our environment. How do we come to terms with this dangerous, glorious and absolutely essential lover? In this glass works series titled Precarious Living, I create a reflection of the incessant and irrepressible impact of nature despite mankind's intrusions. They reflect the fascination I have with the details of natural phenomena and the cycles of growth and rebirth within those cycles. Precarious Living is a metaphor for something that is happening all around us, natural forces that continue to move regardless of what we humans do. … [Read more...] about Past Centerfolds 2011
