Anthon St. Maarten
“Like a Columbus of the heart, mind and soul I have hurled myself off the shores of my own fears and limiting beliefs to venture far out into the uncharted territories of my inner truth, in search of what it means to be genuine and at peace with who I really am. I have abandoned the masquerade of living up to the expectations of others and explored the new horizons of what it means to be truly and completely me, in all my amazing imperfection and most splendid insecurity.”

The exhibition will explore the marvelous complexity and profusionof forms that interplay in our landscape and our imagination.
Lisa Brody explores the balanced actions within organic and inorganic structures. Her paintings are alive with her responses to patterns and from opening and closing, expanding and contracting, pulsating and bursting and growing and dying.

Bridget Eileen Grady is an artist whose painting is poetically influenced by her explorations of the woods and fields of New England, the literature of natural history, anda childhood shaped by life on a neighboring farm. Her work investigates and depicts sensitive ecological environments both figuratively and abstractly.

Caroline Harman’s works depict a modern dreamscape in flux, where structures collapse and boundaries mutate, expand and contract. The layering and partial veiling of forms, along with the inclusion of shifting scales and multiple vantage points, creates a kaleiidoscope that fractures any narrative about permanence.

Opening March  8th and running to April 5th:  The Washington Art Association galleries, 4 Bryan Memorial Plaza, Washington. 860-868-2878. Gallery hours: 10 am – 5 pm.

Exxplorations in Embellishment is the second solo exhibition for Milford based artist, Rachel Hellerich. The show will include more than 20 drawings and paintings spanning from 2005 to the present. Hellerich’s work will be on display atthe Mary C. Daly, RSM Art Gallery, Mercy Center at Madison, 167 Neck Road, Madison, CT from March 31 – April 25. Hours are 10:00 – 4:00 weekdays, and 10:00 – 2:00 on Saturdays.

With a background heavily rooted in sculpture and installation, Hellerich’s return home to Connecticut in 2004 marked a new phase of creative development focused on drawing and painting on canvas and panel. From its conception, this body of work has been influenced by the themes and aesthetics of Asian art, science fiction, fashion and military history.

There will be an opening reception on Sunday April 6th at the Mercy Center from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. Both the exhibition and the reception are free and open to the public.

Al-Mutanabbi Street Starts Here

through May 3

On March 5th 2007, a car bomb was exploded on al-Mutanabbi Street, the historic center of Baghdad bookselling. More than 30 people were killed and over 100 were wounded. In response to this attack upon a cultural treasure of the Iraqi people, the poet and bookseller Beau Beausoleil founded the al-Mutanabbi Street Project which to date has assembled 130 broadsides by letterpress artists, 260 artist books, and a literary anthology Al-Mutanabbi Street Starts Here with contributions by over 125 writers from around the world.

Out of this larger collection, Stephen Vincent Kobasa has curated two exhibitions of material which will go on display consecutively for one month periods between March 1 and May  3. 

There will be a panel discussion on books in a time of terror on Saturday, April 5, at noon.
