Illuminations for Ordinary Time

Illuminations for Ordinary Time
by: Lisa Bell
August 1st—September 19th
Gallery Hours: Monday-Saturday, 9:00—4:30 Opening Reception: Sunday, August 2nd, 3-5 pm
Ordinary Time, the period between Pentecost and Advent, is the time in the Church's liturgical year
when we focus, not on one specific theme, but on all aspects of Christ and our lives. Illuminations for
Ordinary Time explores the broad range of emotions and facets of the human religious experience, from
penitence to praise, from sorrow to peace.
Lisa Bell graduated from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY, with a BFA in Painting and a History of Art minor focusing on Early Christian and Medieval Art. Her works fuse these two fields of study, combining heavy, visceral fields of color with illuminated manuscripts and texts taken from liturgy, music, and Scripture. She uses traditional scripts and color symbolism, but non-traditional materials and a heavy-handed, painterly style. These seemingly disparate elements reflect a fundamental paradox of Christian life: to be in the world, but not of it. In her work, medieval mysticism meets blood-and-guts faith, in the present moment, where time touches eternity, where prayer and human longing touch God. Her illuminations are as deeply rooted in centuries-old manuscripts as they are in the world in which we live, move, and have our being. Lisa has exhibited her work in New York City. She currently lives and works in Hartford.

HOUSE GALLERY ~ OPENING RECEPTION
“The
Art of Angelica Hilliman & Krishna Miles Hayes”
 |
| Angelica Hillman |
--- The City
of Hartford, Marketing, Events, & Cultural Affairs (MECA) Division is
announces the
Opening
Reception of two of Hartford’s bright, creative, and emerging artists, Angelica
Hilliman & Krishna Miles Hayes.
Angelica Hilliman was born in Hartford, CT and a “child of La
Paloma Sabanera” a coffee house in Hartford, owned by her family that not only
served the best coffee in town, but served as a hub for Hartford’s artists to
meet, perform and exhibit work. This
backdrop provided Angelica with a childhood rich in arts, & cultural
experiences that have served as the catalyst to her interest in painting. Hilliman’s abstract paintings are vibrant,
and imaginative, with a fresh approach.
The colorful broad strokes of her brush and ornate detailed patterns add
depth and visual interest to her work.
Krishna Miles Hayes is an abstract, expressionist artist whose
work at times seems like an explosion of color.
Krishna’s mixed media paintings explore the use of shapes, & color
in a very organic and whimsical way.
Hayes’ use of color, shapes and distorted subject matter are indicative
of his uninhibited freedom. Also a product
of the Hartford art scene, and a child of jazz vocalist Margaux Hayes, Krishna
has created a body of work that we will soon know simply as “Krishna’s voice”.

Virginia Melnyk: Geometric Curtain
August 7 – September 7, 2015
Opening Reception: Friday, August 7, 5 to 7 pm
On August 7, Creative Arts Workshop raises the curtain on its 2015 August Installation, Geometric Curtain, Virginia Melnyk’s eye-popping exhibit.Both a designer and an architect, Melnyk combines fabric and lights to create a three-dimensional wall of color and pattern equally impressive in night as it is in day. “My work involves computational parametric design where I generate three-dimensional models that I can export into 2-D patterns to be re-assembled,” explains Melnyk. “The real fabric will have lots of natural pleats and wrinkles as it naturally hangs in the window.” Melnyk, who lives in Buffalo, NY, holds a master’s degree in architecture from the University of Pennsylvania School of Design. She works in small product design as well as large-scale architectural projects and has won numerous awards.
The August Installation is on display from August 7 through September 7. Executive Director Daniel Fitzmaurice suggests, “You can bring your lunch, bring your friends, and sit outside to enjoy and discuss this remarkable piece even when we’re not open.”

Dawn
Southworth is recognized for her mixed media works and installations.
She is a graduate of Massachusetts College of Art and Design, where she
focused on textiles and sculpture. Her passion for fabric and fibers has
evolved into a sophisticated and innovative approach to construction. A
zealous collector, Southworth has the ability to coalesce a vast array
of materials and processes. Laden with symbols and metaphor, her use of
found objects, drawing, sewing, and pyrography is emotionally charged
and conceptually stimulating.
