LOVINGER GALLERY hosts photographic exhibit to benefit Nepal earthquake survivors Aug. 7, 7-9pm
An
old woman sits serenely upon the steps of a local temple, her
countenance almost regal, a young boy peeks out the window of an
elaborate brick building at something unseen and only imagined,
vendors display colorful collages of food and wares, and in the
distance horizontal stripes of muted blue form a magnificent abstract
canvas of the majestic Himalayas overlooking the city. It is another
day in Bhaktapur, an ancient city in the east corner
of the Kathmandu Valley, just eight miles from Nepal's capital city
of Kathmandu and a designated World Heritage Site. Bhaktapur, in
sanskrit “city of devotees,” has long been a destination for both
tourists and religious pilgrims who flock to its many religious
landmarks and palace courtyards.
Provincetown
photographer Jeff Lovinger spent a week there in early April of 2015.
He wandered the narrow lanes of delicate brick buildings interwoven
with wooden shutters and balconies photographing elaborate temples,
terra cotta monuments and the colorful carnival of everyday life. He
witnessed “Bisket Jatra,” the
Nepalese New Year celebration in which chariots are pulled
through the streets and ultimately a tug of war over them determines,
ironically, who will be blessed with good fortune in the coming year.
And then he returned to Provincetown.
Exactly ten
days later a massive 7.9 magnitude earthquake, whose epicenter was
just 30 miles from Bhaktapur, would take the lives of roughly 2,000
people and injure some 5,000 more in this Eastern region of Nepal.
Jeff, now back home, developed his photos- their beauty suddenly all
the more powerful and poignant as they presaged an unspeakable
disaster . He promised himself he would share them and the proceeds
from their sale to help those he had just left behind.
A benefit
for the Nepal earthquake survivors will be held on August 7 from 7-9
pm at the Lovinger Gallery, 427 Commercial Street. Photos from the
trip will be on display with 50% of all proceeds from their sale
going to several organizations assisting the survivors of the
earthquake. For further information, contact Lovinger Gallery at
508-487-3733/www.lovingerimages.com. --Patricia Zur
Alden Gallery presents JOERG DRESSLER + HEATHER TOLAND Opening reception: Friday, August 7, 2015, 7 to 9 pm thru AUG. 20
 |
| Joerg Dressler |
Joerg Dressler’s work is driven by nature and how we perceive it. When he is in the studio, he paints solely from memory. As a result, disjointed experiences of the seen and learned are re-assembled, creating a reality of their own. Joerg’s evocative, vigorous paintings derive from a sincere dialogue between the representational and the abstract, the conceptual consciousness and pure spontaneity.
 |
| Heather Toland |
For her first exhibit at the Alden Gallery, New Hampshire-based artist Heather Toland is completing a series of hyper-real close-up oil portraits of individual billiard balls from an old junked set. “My paintings focus on details of the antediluvian,” Heather says, “expounding the distinctive textures and colors of surfaces long ago discarded.

A Gallery presents SIAN ROBERTSON- HIDDEN TRUTHS / JULY 29 - AUGUST 4 REC. FRIDAY . JULY 31 . 7PM -10PM
Robertson is a self-taught artist. She was born and raised in Wales, in the UK, and moved to America in her late 20s, living in California for 7 years before settling on Cape Cod in 1999. She is drawn especially to maps for many reasons: "they are beautiful to look at, they represent areas lived in and places still to visit, and I have incredibly fond memories of learning to map read as a very small child."
I make art from items that were created for some other purpose, now isolated from their original function and given a new, more unique role and a life beyond what was initially intended. It's not about repurposing or recycling, but about seeing everyday things in a different way; using two or more elements and making them better for being together. And by using different items from different sources I combine their individual histories, and in doing so create a new collective history.

Berta Walker Gallery presents JOSEPHINE and SALVATORE DEL DEO Opening Reception Friday, August 14, 6 - 8 pm
Berta Walker Gallery is proud to help premiere Josephine Del Deo's recent book "The Watch at Peaked Hill, Outer Cape Cod Dune Shack Life, 1953-2003" along with new and older paintings by master artist Salvatore Del Deo focusing on the Outer Cape's environment of land, sea, dunes, fishermen. Additionally, the gallery's artists will show a variety of paintings related to these subjects, honoring Josephine Del Deo and her unique work on behalf of our community and artistic history.
"The Watch at Peaked Hill, Outer Cape Cod Dune Shack Life, 1953-2003" just released by Schiffer publishers, chronicles the ongoing relationship between members of the Provincetown arts community and the dune dwellers and dune shacks on the outer shore and the influence of that life on the entire community of artists and writers. It reveals the ongoing trials and tribulations of preserving the dunes while still allowing artists and writers to live amongst them.

Rice Polak Gallery presents work by Blair Bradshaw, Larry Calkins, Adam Graham, Suzanne Howes Stevens, Willie Little and Matthew Schofield rec. 7/31 7pm thru 8/19
Blair Bradshaw's paintings and constructions tend to focus on the graphic simplifications of larger, more complicated systems.
Larry Calkins began by making his mark in outsider art circles but quickly moved into the mainstream of the art world.
Adam Graham began studying impressionist painting under the guidance of his father, painter Bob Graham who was a longtime pupil of Henry Hensche. Adam 's interest is in using the principles learned painting en plein air for the last 11 years and applying them to new and original motifs.
|
|
Suzanne Howes Stevens 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.
Willie Little draws upon his background of growing up black in the
rural South as inspiration for his art. His works range from abstract
paintings to mixed media assemblages, incorporating family history and
photographs to full-scale installations recreating memories from the
artist's childhood.
Matthew Schofield's current painting series explores snapshots painted
with unsentimental observation. He is interested in observing the
idiosyncratic nature of the photographer and their subjects.

Hutson Gallery Highlights: Kristen Gossler, Peter Macara, Felice Newman and Michael Page 8/7-20 rec. 8/7 7-9pm
 |
| "A Bit of Venice" by Peter Macara |
Peter
Macara looks again to antiquities for inspiration: traditional
motifs, border designs and repeating shapes that fall victim to the
forces of time—cracking, breaking and eroding. “My artworks
contrast predictable patterns against the seemingly random, broken
shapes of crumbling material. Our minds fill in the gaps. In an
effort to create memorable objects, the plywood support material is
shaped to mimic slabs of terra cotta, plaster or stone. The artworks
take on a presence that goes beyond pictorial, venturing into an area
similar to low-relief sculpture. Nonetheless, these constructions,
although irregular in shape, still provide reliably flat planes for
the application of paint and collage. This interplay of substance,
form, collage and traditional painting is the hallmark of my work."
 |
| "Red Dinghy" by Felice Newman |
Felice
Newman delights the eyes with her pier-scapes and dinghies that glide
toward you. The colors, patterns and textures create a glow that
calls to mind a seductive summertime with rolling swells irrespective
of whether you are on water or land. Newman
was inspired to begin painting in Provincetown during her stays on
Captain Jack's Wharf as she watched the horizon-sky, land and sea
trading their colors back and forth in an endless conversation.
"After a number of summers in Provincetown, the urge to grab a
pallet knife and push color along a canvas became visceral. I
discovered my fascination with mood and emotion in the movement of
colors and textures across the canvas."
 |
| "idealism vs reality" by Michael Page |
Michael Page's 2015 body of paintings is a conscience
attempt to work outside his comfort zone by using a broader, more
vibrant palette and wider range of compositional elements. With its
abstracted cross, rectangles, squares and other geometric elements
“idealism vs reality” brings to mind the nonobjective paintings
of the Suprematists. Page’s paintings are both simple and complex
in colors and composition with the added dimensions of textures.
 |
| Untitled by Kristen Gossler |
Kristen Gossler uses aqueous pigment and acrylic resin
to create paintings; she builds each composition “with a cacophony
of marks and layers of color and texture that ultimately are resolved
by my minimal aesthetic of symbolism”.
She paints in a large format.
Kobalt Gallery presents ROSE MASTERPOL "Dogmata" 7/31-8/11 rec. 7/31 7- 10 pm
 |
| Watermark, 2015, Acrylic on Canvas, 60"x60" |
KOBALT GALLERY
is pleased to announce “Dogmata”, a solo exhibition featuring new work
by Abstract Expressionist painter Rose Masterpol. Based in Santa Fe, NM,
Masterpol, a new addition to the 2015 Kobalt Gallery roster, brings her
demanding, emphatically expressive approach to the Provincetown art
arena.
Art
critic and curator Peter Frank cites “Masterpol recapitulates the
influence of Mitchell, De Kooning, Motherwell, Gorky, and Kline with
remarkable intelligence and sensitivity: her paintings are genuine,
unabashed Abstract Expressionist works right down to their Surrealist
reliance on the impulsive mark and their Cubist articulation of space.”

Hutson Gallery Highlights: Gay Malin, Rose Olson, William Skerritt and Luanne E Witkowski REC. Friday, July 24 7 - 9 pm Thru Aug. 6
 |
| "Sentinels of Disquietude" by Gay Malin |
Gay Malin returns to her sculpting in bronze with her fantastic series “Sentinels of Disquietude.” Malin envisioned the ten sentinels as “connect[ing] with that part of human nature that is evidenced by a sense of foreboding, anxiety, agitation, angst--the things that disturb us and that we find within ourselves as well.”
 |
| Double Gold, 2015 by Rose Olson |
Rose Olson has always been interested in the color of almost anything and especially by color created with changing light. Plywood veneers and liquid paints allow Rose to build her painting in many transparent and translucent films of color while still revealing the specific grain of wood.
Luanne E Witkowski returns with work not previously seen in the gallery. Witkowski’s work is about process and material: she incorporates clay mixed with acrylic paint, pigment and other media including fragments of a photograph.
William Skerritt’s new work includes watercolor, drypoint, etchings, and two white line woodblock prints.
