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.”
