8/23-9/11

opening reception August 23rd 7-9pm

Joe Trepiccione "Cape Moors"

Joe Trepiccione’s paintings are truly inspired by the beauty of the outer Cape. He is fascinated with the broad open landscapes that are the Province Lands and its structures.  His new paintings explore the dunes, the meadows and the marshes of the Cape Cod National Seashore, areas that are not often explored by Cape painters as often as the sea. The coastal salt marsh and the wide Cape meadow each have a similar peaceful tranquility about them:  the salt marsh with its vast openness, tidal pools, and rivulets to the sea, and the meadow, with its swaying grasses, dappled with wildflowers, and close to its neighboring foot hillsides.  The triptych “Beach Roses” highlights the tilt and curve of the dunes while the solitude and splendor of the moors is experienced in “Cape Moors”. “House on the Bluff” and “Race Point” allows the viewer to see these cape wonders from a distance.  Joe Trepiccione’s paintings offer a vast array of color, light and depth of earth and sky. Yet they are comfortable, and controlled and pull the viewer in and beyond to the horizon.

Harry Folsom "The Pugilist"

 Harry Folsom first exhibited in a gallery and sold his first painting when he was 12 years old and he has not halted or slowed down since.  Umbrellas were a part of 12-year-old Harry's first works of art and are incorporated into some of his new work as well.  Harry’s characteristic “urban scene” features expressive blue-collar workers amid an urban industrial cityscape – a New York City of decades ago.  Harry’s new work will feature harlequins and monkeys that give the viewer a feeling of mystery and secrets to be revealed. “I use the brush to create a hostile, violent underpainting, which I then placate with whimsical, almost storybook colors.  This process offers a very compelling introspective look into modern society.  I constantly grasp at presenting my perception of the human condition through a variety of media and imagery.”

BERTA WALKER GALLERY 8/16 -9/9- HERMAN MARIL. MURRAY ZIMILES, PROVINCETOWN MASTERS

Opening Friday, August 16, 7 - 9 PM

& continuing through September 8

HERMAN MARIL * MURRAY ZIMILES

&  PROVINCETOWN MASTERS, PAST & PRESENT

HERMAN MARIL, Portrait on the Easel, 1981, O/C, 24 x 30

Herman Maril (1908-1986) was a nationally known artist who painted seascapes, interiors, and landscapes in a pure, lyrical, and profound style. His work is in over 100 museum collections and he was featured in a 2008 retrospective at the Provincetown Art Association Museum, commemorating what would have been

his 100th birthday.

Maril's paintings -- landscapes, seascapes,interiors --are lyrical and spacious, filled with light and a serenity seen in everyday environments such as a woman hanging the laundry, a fisherman cleaning the catch of the day, a family playing by the sea. His simplified subjects and abstracted environments result in visual elegance. His paintings emphasize clarity and simplicity, achieved through broad, flat color masses in a style related

to Cubism. Said Maril: "I like the painting to look as if it is going to breathe onwithout any effort...". "His rather quiet, yet richly lyrical color and his always well-composed compositions have great lasting quality" said the late

Adelyn Breeskin, former Director of the Baltimore Museum. 

 

MURRAY ZIMILES, Buffalo Mountain, 2009, oil and mixed media on canvas, 48 x 40"

 

 

 

Zimiles is a painter who has spent summers on the vast, open dunes of Provincetown living in a dune shack. "Although much of the content of my paintings derives from an inner vision and relates to my Hudson River surroundings and perhaps the Hudson River Landscape School, I did drink in the wonders of wide and wild vistas while, as a boy, I lived with my aunt and uncle, artists Boris Margo and Jan Gelb, and helped build the shack known as Margo Gelb. Each summer, living on the dunes, I continue to absorb the space, the light, and the feel of the Cape's undulating landscape detectable in paintings.

OLGA ANTONOVA, WILLIAM CICCARIELLO 

&

SUZANNE HOWES-STEVENS 

JULY 18 - JULY 31, 2013 

Opening Reception Friday, July 19th, 7:00pm

   OLGA ANTONOVA

Olga Antonova has built an international reputation with major exhibitions in Europe as well as the States. The Russian-born painter, trained at the prestigious University of Leningrad, has enchanted art collectors with her finely-rendered yet whimsically romantic still lifes and self portraits. Like the great European painters of the early 18th century, Antonova has the gift of taking ordinary subjects from everyday life and elevating them to the level of high art. Using simple compositions and monumental scale, she presents her subjects with loving care and romantic vision. 

  WILLIAM CICCARIELLO

 Structure is everything to this contemplative artist whose sharp eye and superb technique bring order out of a chaotic world. His intricate compositions combine elements of nature with  ingeniously positioned and balanced objects, an apt reflection on the precariousness of our carefully-juggled, modern lives. Ciccariello's work is less about the application of paint on surface than about how paint can be used to create form and capture light. His surfaces are purposefully flat and his color harmonies close so that nothing detracts from the compositions he so carefully constructs.

   SUZANNE HOWES-STEVENS

 Suzanne Howes-Stevens continues to build her national reputation as a painter. A widely-travelled and extremely literate artist, Howes-Stevens draws upon her extensive experience to create highly intelligent works of remarkable sensitivity. She quite literally grounds her work in the real world via her trademark of painting over maps mounted on canvas or panel. The geography of the underlying map relates to the subject of her painting for which it forms the support. The artist works in a delicate, romantic style, her landscapes literally running over their borders. Her skillful and sensitive renderings thus become feasts for the mind as well the eye.

KOBALT GALLERY presents NARROW LANDS- DEBORAH MARTIN 7/19-30

 OPENING RECEPTION 

JULY 19TH 7-10PM

At the intersection of memory and disintegration lie the homes and built structures of the "Narrow Lands" - an architectural geography of history and time along the Outer Cape.

Along this thin spiral of land and water, the shifting sand and silt and spray create inexorable change in natural terrain - a relentless force of transformation that likewise erodes, reclaims, and reconstitutes the people and structures of Provincetown.

In the series titled "Narrow Lands", Martin explores the decomposition and erosion of built structures on the Outer Cape - homes that have been historically maintained, as well as those abandoned for reclamation or by sale of the land.  These poignant and often haunting images are the premise for Martin's oil paintings.

Martin's work dwells within a compositional formality - a visitor's sidewalk stance that captures the essentially public vista of driveway, yard, front porch - yet her portraitist's eye conjures an emotional complexity nearly operatic in scope: within the silent, vacant architecture, human drama seems to exist more powerfully in an allusion.

KOBALT GALLERY DAVE LARO "WHAT'S INSIDE" July 5-16

DAVE LARO has spent the better part of the past two decades quietly, almost covertly creating a story book whose pages take form as super realistic oversized hand carved objects, or repetitious iconic imagery purposely arranged out of context, and even the most familiar paragons of pop culture contrasted with contemporary ideology.  As story teller, Laro unsuspectingly lures the viewer into his work, first with an immediate response to the visual impact of color, composition, and craftsmanship, and then with a blindsided hook that makes it impossible to walk away without trying to get inside of the artist's head.  At times, Laro's "unwritten stories" run as deep as the viewer dares to go, while others reveal with the simplicity of a nursery rhyme.  Much of Laro's materials are retrieved from long forgotten relics that find their way to an attic corner, basement shelf, or if lucky, to a flea market where Dave may opt to give them a second chance.  Laro's work breathes new life into the abandoned in a way that can be uncharacteristically provocative, politically suggestive, and unquestionably deliberate. 

"What's Inside" presents in a somewhat more introspective manner than Laro's 2012 debut at Kobalt Gallery, but is keenly charged with the wit and wisdom of the native Vermonter's perspective on everything from war to childhood nightmares to sex appeal.  Each of Laro's new constructions are born of his ability to see things beneath the surface, and consummated at the hands of a master craftsman.
