Art Forms: An Exhibition of Artist Fellowship Recipients at The Gallery at Constitution Plaza
in Hartford, Connecticut April 4th through July 5th
Subiaco II, April 2010 by Jan Cunningham, 17" x 22", digital photograph.
The artists featured in Art Forms: An Exhibition of Artist Fellowship Recipients are kind of a big deal. We can say this because Art Forms is an exhibition featuring Connecticut artists who have received Artist Fellowships from the Department of Economic and Community Development's Connecticut Office of the Arts. It doesn't get more official than that. The program provides grants to encourage the continuing artistic development of Connecticut's creative community. The exhibiting artists are Lorelei Chang of South Windsor (choreography), Jan Cunningham of New Haven (photography), Geoffrey Detrani of Hamden (works on paper), Elizabeth Gourlay of Chester (painting), Andrew Molleur of Coventry (craft) and John Rohlfing of Canton (craft). Their ties to the state of Connecticut and past fellowships are not the only things these artists have in common. In some approach or medium, they all explore form, shape and line. Their artwork ranges from static to fluid, ordered to energetic. Through geometrical shapes and curvilinear forms, they pull attention toward certain areas and away from others, creating dynamic visual experiences. Art Forms: An Exhibition of Artist Fellowship Recipients runs from Thursday, April 4th through Friday, July 5th at The Gallery at Constitution Plaza. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, April 4th from 4:30-6:30pm. The Gallery at Constitution Plaza is dedicated to promoting cultural enrichment and visual understanding of the Department of Economic and Community Development's Office of the Arts and its constituent organizations. It is located on the second floor of One Constitution Plaza in Hartford and is open from 9am- 4pm, Monday-Friday. Admission is free and validated parking is available for visitors using the Constitution Plaza South Garage (entrances at State Street and Kinsley Street). Sign in at the security desk and take the elevator to the second floor.

Kelly Milukas
Kelly Milukas' provocative Keys to the Cure exhibition spans the broad and Freudian symbolism entwined with keys, locks, and the mysteries of the body. Multi-media artworks focus on the power of keys to unlock nothing less than the human code. A dynamic interplay of paint, encaustic, photography, and
sculpture, it tells the story of stem-cell research and regenerative medicine.

Maria Walker and Charles Miller at Dedee Shattuck Gallery
in Westport, Massachusetts April 3rd through April 28th
First Things First by Maria Walker, 28 x 20.5", acrylic, unprimed canvas, wood, 2007.
If you were wondering where all the news has been concerning Dedee Shattuck Gallery's 2013 season, wonder no further. The gallery is excited to open its 2013 season with Maria Walker and Charles Miller, an exhibit of abstract paintings by two of New York's emerging artists. Guest curator Henry McMahon is a painter, teacher, writer and art critic living and working in Long Island City, Queens. This sharing a taste of New York with our New England audience is McMahon's debut curation experience. Maria Walker's work, featured above, is best known for its ability to achieve balance between complete control and absolute randomness. Although change, time and intuition are the driving forces behind her painting process, Walker finds a way to filter the mayhem through approaches that encourage precision, like her implementation of everyday systems such as the calendar or the color spectrum. Her process involves pouring hand-mixed pigments onto canvas and then stretching the resulting compositions over non-conventionally shaped frames. The impetus behind the artwork of Charles Miller is found during his summer stays in Maine. He observes the rhythms of the natural world and how elements like light and space operate within it, then transfers and layers simple elements from his sketches onto canvas. Miller's paintings reveal growing metaphors for how we as humans experience the natural world. Maria Walker and Charles Miller opens on Wednesday, April 3rd and will run through Sunday, April 28th. An Artist Reception is scheduled for Saturday, April 6th from 5-7pm. Curator Henry McMahon reminds us not to compare the two artists in this exhibition. He writes, "The rigor with which they each explore their particular painterly languages--and the striking integrity of the result-is the primary link between them...this is the pulse that animates any successful artwork, whereby the unique articulations of its particular language are its very link to the world at large."

BFA Alumni Invitational Exhibition at Lesley's Art Institute of Boston
in Boston, Massachusetts now through April 14th
Faldum by Stephanie Pierce.
Centennial celebrations are on at Lesley University's Art Institute of Boston (AIB). During this special year, the AIB is delighted to honor its endless list of talented alumni in an invitational show of all departments, complete with an exhibition and a series of artist talks. The Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University was founded in 1912 as the School of Practical Art, one of the nation's first private studio schools. Renamed The Art Institute of Boston in 1967, AIB established itself as a non-profit and reflected the school's increased focus on fine art, design, illustration and photography. AIB merged with Lesley University in 1998, expanding offerings to students throughout both institutions. Now, 100 years later, we celebrate the culmination of this cornerstone art school with an exhibition. The BFA Alumni Invitational Exhibition features works in all media: animation, video, painting, collage, mixed media, printmaking, photography and sculpture. The show was arranged so that each chair of the five departments at Lesley's AIB selected alumni to represent the talent and achievement of their graduates. The five represented departments are: Animation and Motion Media, Design, Fine Arts, Illustration and Photography. Some of the featured artists include Geoff Marian, Kim Hui, Jenna Short, Ferris Caldwell, Adam O'Day, Cynthia Von Buhler, Stephanie Pierce, Luke O'Sullivan, Tara Sellios and Paul Taggart. The BFA Alumni Invitational Exhibition is on view now through Sunday, April 14th in the Main Gallery.
