Artist Statement:
I have always been visually drawn to human faces and heads – the eyes, nose mouth, hair and skin. A face can tell so much about a life lived, evidence common family traits, and connect us to each other. The head is where our consciousness lies. It houses the intellect and sits atop the body.

If any further proof is needed that artists look at the world differently, it’s in abundance at Maple and Main’s Fall Exhibit.
Find “Hidden Garden” by Bernadette Belizzi or the “Last Picnic,’’ a work in felting by Diane Cadrain or how about Cathy Ciardiello’s unusual take on “Prickly Pear Cactus”
Muci Clemens chose to depict the back end of an old auto “Leaving the Car Show” while Suzanne Kirschner shows us “Wild Violet Leaves” in a wholly original – and beautiful – way.
“Wordly Birds,” is another unique – and also gorgeous - interpretation by Amy Schott while Shirley Mae Neu looks at a spider web with new eyes.
You may get to look through “new eyes” yourself if you visit our gallery’s Fall show filled with diverse and original works by 58 artists.
The show runs through Nov. 12

Joyce Kozloff: Girlhood
October 5 - November 4, 2017
Opening reception: Thursday, October 5, 6-8pm
|
 |
Joyce Kozloff, Calm Sea, Rough Sea, 2017. Acrylic and collage on canvas, 60 x 60 in.
|
This October DC Moore Gallery presents, Joyce Kozloff: Girlhood,
an exhibition that unites the artist’s ongoing mixed media cartographic
art with recently unearthed childhood drawings. Kozloff discovered
folders containing her carefully preserved grade school art during the
emotional process of packing up and closing her parents’ house after
their deaths. Her occasionally phantasmagorical and meticulously painted
archaic charts offer a dialogue between the youthful wonderment
preserved in her elementary school drawings and adult geographical
knowledge. These works bear a riveting similarity to her oeuvre of the
last 25 years – maps, charts, decorative flourishes, information
organized in graphs, and vignettes that expand the worlds depicted.

When Hartford’s Melting Pot Turned Brown:
The Puerto Ricanization of Frog Hollow
Photographs by Robert Pawlowski
September 15 – November 3, 2017
Hartford History Center, 3rd Floor
Hartford Public Library, 500 Main Street, Hartford
Audiences are encouraged to share their #ParkStreetStories / #HistoriasDeLaCallePark on Instagram and Facebook by using the hashtag when posting short videos (up to 3 minutes), photos, or text.
From 1900 to approximately 1965, Hartford’s Frog Hollow neighborhood was a bustling industrial village, home to some of Hartford’s most famous manufacturers including Pratt and Whitney, Billings and Spencer and Pope Manufacturing. Because of its mix of ethnic factory workers including Irish, Swedes, Germans, English, Lithuanians, and French Canadians, it was often called Hartford’s “melting pot.” But by the 1960s, its major industries began to shut down leading to its decline. By 1975, when the first of these photographs were taken, the neighborhood had reached a low point. Between 1975 and 2000, the Frog Hollow Puerto Rican population grew from 10% to 72%. Pawlowski shows through photographs that the Puerto Ricanization of Frog Hollow brought a revitalized Park Street, rehabilitated housing, safer streets, political power, and cultural exposure.

RIGHT NOW: Artist Jacob Cullers - Robert Motherwell and Oscar Wilde -An Observation
Robert
Motherwell, artist and unofficial philosopher of the Abstract
Expressionist movement, observed the violence inherent in the paintings.
Now, sitting in the gallery, viewing the latest work from the studio of New London CT artist, Jacob Cullers, one is again struct by the transgressive nature of painting. At nearly seven feet on a side, the sheer scale of the painting threatens to engulf the viewers. It is dominated by white heat, explosive yellows and golds highlighted with scorched blacks, viscous reds, and footnoted by mauve grays that might normally provide a visual respite, but instead only add to the vertiginous movement of our free-fall into this maelstrom of molten debris. Cullers' terrifyingly beautiful work is an admonition for the hawkish demon of our nature and acknowledgement of Oscar Wilde's observation - "When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers."
Jacob
Culler's exhibit, AMERICAN VOODOO, will be on view in space 106 until
October 7. Gallery hours are Wednesday, Friday & Saturday, 12-4 and
Thursdays 1-6 PM.

Sea and Stone: The Thimble Islands
Paintings by Arthur Yanoff
through October 28, 2017
On a visit to Branford’s Thimble Islands, Arthur Yanoff was immediately inspired.
During
his visit, Yanoff filled sketchbooks with drawings and later returned
to his studio to create this series of abstract paintings. This
exhibition began at the Mattatuck Museum in 2016 and Reynolds Fine Art
is pleased to bring the exhibition close to the shoreline that inspired
the work.
