The July 2008 exhibit features seven artists working in
diverse media. From traditional bronze sculptures to vibrant
and kinetic mobiles, the gallery provides a rich viewing
experience.
Igor
Galanin is of significant presence with a bold collection
of paintings and sculpture. His muse and personal animal
totem, the rabbit, is a reoccurring image along with other
creatures in the poetic worlds he creates.
Mobiles
by New England artist Mark Davis are dynamic three-dimensional
paintings that capture the open spaces and multiple levels
of the historic 1912 building.
Sculptor
Cabot Lyford, a roster member since 1995, exhibits several
new wood carvings. Central to this collection is a newly
installed sculpture titled "Uprising". The dark
and sleek whale graces the ground level garden and greets
gallery visitors.
James
R. Pyne's menagerie of birds and animals, ranging from four
inches to six feet in height, are displayed throughout the
gallery and bronze sculptures inhabit The Muir Garden for
Contemporary Sculpture.
Metalsmith
Henry Spencer has spent over two decades exploring the fine
art of chasing and repousse. His precious adornments executed
in 22 karat and small jewel boxes of sterling silver are
treasures to be discovered in our collection of fine art
jewelry.
The
gallery collection of paintings by Michael Waterman is extensive
and diverse. This month's show captures different aspects
of the human experience as interpreted by the artist. Similarly,
the provoking bronze sculptures of the late Pearl Amsel
compliment this theme brought forth with Waterman's work.
Born
in Czechoslvakia, Ms. Amsel is a survivor of the Nazi concentration
camps. Amsel's inspiration derives from mythological, ancient
biblical and contemporary themes. Her art reflects a devotion
to humanity and is a testament to the healing power of
art.
