The Back of A Truck: Works by Sarah Horne

Art On Main, the gallery at Barnbrook Realty, 271 Main Street, Great Barrington, MA 01230

 March 2 to April 25, 2013

 

Sarah Horne has created a body of work for this show which, like much of Pop Art, elevates mundane visual experiences to objects rich in color, form, line and shape.  By flattening and transferring the photographic image to vinyl canvas, these truck panels take on a new painterly pictorial space.  What we see on the roadways as we drive to and from our work each day, can also be a beautiful arrangement of geometric or abstract elements. 

Art On Main is positioned in the center of town at 271 Main Street at Barnbrook Realty.  The gallery is open during regular business hours, 10 – 5, including Saturday and Sunday.

 

The Watercolor Show Opens at AOM

The Watercolor Show features four local artists working in this medium. 

Stephanie Anderson's recent show in Housatonic highlighted her drawings but her watercolors have long been her calling card.

Nina Lipkowitz switched from pottery to two-dimensional media with a focus on creating watercolors that reflect her love of form and gardens.

Jasmine Gage is a textile artist who has created wearable art and painterly landscapes on silk and paper.

Sue MacVeety is an author and illustrator who also paints whimsical and light-filled landscapes and images inspired by her life with animals and music.

Join us on February 2, 2013 from 5 to 7 pm for a meet and greet with the artists.

Flowers: Photographs by Stephanie Blumenthal at Art On Main, the Gallery at Barnbrook Realty

All are welcome to

join us on Wednesday, September 12th from 5 to 7 for a

reception for the artist

 

“Most people photograph flowers when they are in full bloom. I discovered that flowers past their prime had a unique beauty to them.  As the flower dries/dies it goes through altered positions before the ultimate loss of petals. Petals twist and curl or some even look windblown, stems bend and curve over. It¹s these states that I find intriguing; the flowers are frozen in a graceful gesture or dance; there¹s a brush stroke quality to them. I photographed them individually and against a neutral background in order to accent their simplicity and gracefulness.”

Forte's Passion for Painting

Painting is Forte's passion; however, the road to this exhibit has been direct nor readily foreseeable. A Columbia graduate with a Harvard Law degree, Robert Forte has had a successful and very busy career in law, but he has also studied art. He attended the Art Students League and a variety of painting workshops over the years. "Indeed it was not that long ago that I was hard at work briefing a major case before the US Supreme Court? In other words, I practiced law, a life far removed from the life of a painter. The artistic 'seed,' however, was planted at a very early age, when I literally drew everything in site. I grew up on (for those who remember), Jon Gnagy's TV art lessons and, subsequently, attended the High School of Music and Art in New York City. Toward the end of my legal career, I decided to cultivate that dormant seed. In the intervening years, I met and studied with two New York artists, Minerva Durham and Cornelia Foss, each supreme in her craft-Durham's wizardry drawing the figure and Foss's incomparably beautiful paintings. These artists formed the foundation of my art." Now living and painting in his studio in New Marlborough, Forte has a new life devoted to painting. This post is reprinted from The Artful Mind
