Take Five at Thayer Art Gallery
in Braintree, Massachusetts October 15th through November 15th
Home Front by Carol McMahon, installation view. 2/27/13-3/30/13, Bromfield Gallery. Photo credit: Stewart Clements.
Starting this month, there will be a reunion of sorts at Thayer Academy Art Gallery. Take Five reunites artists Lesley Cohen, Cathleen Daley, Carol McMahon, Lois Tarlow and Ellen Wineberg, who last exhibited together twenty years ago. In their two decades working apart, these five women have etched their distinct artist signatures into the New England arts scene and their accomplished exhibition records stand as proof of this. Between them, they create works in printmaking, drawing, painting, installation and sculpture—all of which continue to invite the eye and captivate the mind in one swift, subtle movement. Lesley Cohen's charcoal drawings imply a passing of time. They become mystifying structures as she works to recognize and expose the imperfections of both nature and man, deconstructing any sense of order that once existed. Cathleen Daley's geometric paintings are rooted in observations and reminiscent of the scattering of the sun's rays, producing a soft, glowing skylight when the sun is just below the horizon. Structure yields to process in indexes of time and place, as Daley hones formal qualities of color, color temperature, shape and edge. Carol McMahon strives to deconstruct the narrative of domestication through her sculpture, paintings and assemblages. McMahon explores the notions of home and family and how these drastically change when domestic objects are defamiliarized and often turned upside-down. With a fixation on the processes of nature and time, Lois Tarlow's paintings and prints (handmade paper, micaceous pigments and marble dust) work to discover the inexplicable signals and currents that we find in both present and future states. Ellen Wineberg's mixed media paintings transcend labels like new, old, past and present. Her energetic paint texture combines with recycled quilt pieces, tree branches and plumbing parts to create an aesthetically pleasing organic composition, as if all the orphaned parts grew together as one. Take Five will be on view Tuesday, October 15th through Friday, November 15th at Thayer Art Gallery. Join these five astonishing women and their friendship of creative exchange at the opening reception on Sunday, October 20th from 3-5pm.

Ocean Beach Series at Johnson Gallery
in Beverly, Massachusetts now through October 25th
Ocean Beach V by Joan Benotti.
The current solo exhibition at Johnson Gallery at the Glenn Urquhart School is showing an artist known for blending the actual with the abstract. Joan Benotti is exhibiting her Ocean Beach Series, paintings which incorporate a compelling combination of maps, woods scraps, hinges, sewing, beads and weaving, all of which capture beach scenes like sun-striped water, seaweed along the shore, flotsam and jetsam. Most paintings include some version of hinged, wooden shutters, which help to frame the works and their narratives, as the opening and closing motion alters the view of the ocean and its beaches. Of her painted surfaces, Benotti says they are "worked and reworked sometimes over several years as one layer wanders into the next in an ongoing dialogue between the story and the paint." Born in Boston, Benotti studied at the Rhode Island School of Design and at the Montserrat College of Art in Beverly. She received a grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and has exhibited in group and solo shows throughout New England. She now resides on Boston's North Shore. Ocean Beach Series: Paintings by Joan Benotti is on view now through Friday, October 25th at Glenn Urquhart School, Johnson Gallery. All of the art is available for purchase. Twenty percent of the proceeds go to support the GUS Scholarship Fund. Also included in this show are paintings from the Diver series. These intimate paintings are based on the Tomb of the Diver in Paestum, Italy where an image of a swimmer diving into waves was recently discovered. In this series, a stencil of that image is worked in paint and metal leaf as the swimmer plunges into whimsical references to this ancient Greco Roman city, integrating memory and story into pattern and place.

2d 3d at Coastal Living Gallery
in Wickford, Rhode Island now through November 1st
Canal October 2008 by Susan Strauss.
October is proving to be quite the dimensional month at Coastal Living Gallery. The gallery is showcasing the works of ceramic sculptor Tiffany Adams and landscape painter Susan Strauss in the current exhibition, 2d 3d, showing now through Friday, November 1st. Both women are guests artists at Coastal Living Gallery. All of Tiffany Adams' sculptures in this exhibition are hand built, one of a kind and made of stoneware clay. Her work is raku fired, which gives each piece a look of aged existence and an aura that is fueled by nature. Born in Los Angeles, Adams studied ceramics at the Universidad de los Andes (ULA) in Merida, Venezuela, then moved to Rhode Island. She furthered her education at Rhode Island College (Fine Arts) and Rhode Island School of Design. Adams has exhibited extensively from New England to Connecticut in numerous group and solo exhibitions. Susan Strauss will be exhibiting her coastal landscape paintings, creations whose timeless appeal is the perfect counterpart to the age statement given from Adams' sculptures. The point of view Strauss captures in her paintings is one of absolute intimacy. With minimal distance, it thrusts the viewer immediately into the natural scene being depicted, and may even begin to conjure up thoughts or memories, as if you've seen this place before. In 2013 Strauss was the recipient of a Public Arts of RI grant and awarded a solo show at Home and Hospice Care of RI in Providence. She won 'Best in Show' in the South Coast Artists Creative Waters Competition and began a one year Post Baccalaureate Certificate Program at UMass Dartmouth. Please join Strauss, Adams and Coastal Living Gallery in 2d 3d's artist reception on Friday, October 18th from 6-9pm.
