A big thank you goes out to our guests, our sponsors, our donors and our host. The full house was pure proof of how strong our New England art community truly is. We compose this blast with thanks.

Abstract & Modernism at New Hampshire Antique Co-op
in Milford, New Hampshire now through August 31st
Little Flowers Under Moonlight by Walasse Ting.
Dubbed "Best of New Hampshire" by New Hampshire Magazine, the New Hampshire Antique Co-op is one of the largest and finest group antique shops in the state. Established in 1983, the shop features more than 200 dealers showcasing fine art, period furniture, vintage wares and collectibles. The current exhibition echoes the style and profoundness of the venue itself. Abstract & Modernism: 1950s to Today is an exhibit and sale of paintings by artists representative of this post-war cultural and artistic movement. Highlights among the artists representing the earlier decades of the exhibit include Louise Nevelson (1900-1988), Paul Jenkins (1923-2012), Walasse Ting (1929-2010), Karel Appel (1921 - 2006) and Robert Hughes (1915-2004). Nevelson is considered to be one of the most important and influential female American artists of the 20th century. Appel, Jenkins and Ting are leading American Abstract Expressionists. Hughes hails from New Hampshire, where he received numerous artistic and teaching accolades. His sculptures are often compared to works by Henri Moore and William Zorach. More recent examples of this cultural movement and perspective include works by notable contemporary artists from the Monadnock region, including Anna Von Mertens, Christopher Myott, Roz Park, Jessie Pollock and Jason Reimers. All have exhibited throughout New England and beyond. These featured artists aim to break with previously traditional art forms and trends, transcending into realms that utilize shapes, forms, colors and textures in unrealistic, often unimaginable ways. Abstract & Modernism: 1950s to Today will be on view in the Tower Gallery at New Hampshire Antique Co-op for all of spring and most of summer, lasting through Sunday, August 31st. The shop is open daily from 10am-5pm, making it easy for you to fit this exhibition onto your seasonal must-see list.

The Flower Show at Jamestown Arts Center
in Jamestown, Rhode Island April 18th through May 23rd
Fact and Fancy 6" by Georgia Marsh, 2013, 30" x 40", oil and graphite on duralar.
There will be no sign of snow, no talk of polar vortexes at Jamestown Art Center's upcoming exhibition. The Flower Show: Paintings by Georgia Marsh is the artist's debut solo show in Rhode Island and the first time these recent paintings have been exhibited anywhere. With a track record of exhibits across New York and Europe, the JAC is honored to host Georgia Marsh's first solo exhibition in the state of Rhode Island. Don't let the title of Marsh's show fool you—there's much more at work here than pretty flowers and promising blooms. In The Flower Show, Marsh's paintings capture the beauty of nature in a dimension that's possible only in art and our imagination. She skillfully applies the techniques of traditional observation painting to address contemporary dialogues about art and beauty, an approach that ignites in viewers a sense of nostalgia for organic beauty that has faded from us in our post-natural world. By combining both abstraction and representation, Marsh challenges our preconceptions of painting and nature. Marsh has received many awards, including two fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, an NEA international fellowship through the La Napoule Foundation in France, a Pollock/Krasner Foundation Fellowship and a lifetime achievement award from the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation. Her work is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Musee National d'Art Moderne in Paris, the National Museum for American Arts in Washington DC and the New York Public Library, among others. Recently, Marsh's beautiful Jamestown garden was featured in the March issue of Rhode Island Monthly. The Flower Show will open at Jamestown Art Center on Friday, April 18th from 6-8pm. It will be on view through Friday, May 23rd with the following gallery hours: Wednesday through Saturday, 10am-2pm.

Screen Prints, Block Prints & Graphic Images at The Preservation Framer & Art Gallery
in North Attleboro, Massachusetts now through April 30th
Ride or Die by Kris Johnsen, screen print.
It's no secret that North Attleboro is a town rich in both talent and creativity, making it the ideal location for The Preservation Framer & Art Gallery. This shop doubles as a custom picture-framing store and a rotating art gallery, a functionality that makes a lot of sense, given the location of the store. Here they frame art, display art and sell art, but most importantly, they celebrate art. Screen Prints, Block Prints & Graphic Images is the current exhibition at The Preservation Framer & Art Gallery, featuring bold images in screen prints, lino-cut prints and spray paint stencils. All prints are hand made by various artists from local and distant parts of the country and are professionally framed in a variety of frame styles including reclaimed cedar, 100 year old Douglas Fir, scrap pallet and ornate. Basically, this is a good-looking, good-smelling combination of artistic talent and professional rustic framing. The show features prints by: Kris Johnsen (Portland, ME), Xander Marro (Providence, RI), Joe Levesque (Plainville, MA), William Schaff (Providence, RI), Derrick Castle (Whitehouse, TN), Jose Pulido (Los Angeles, CA) and Andy Reach (North Attleboro, MA). Screen Prints, Block Prints & Graphic Images is on view now through Wednesday, April 30th. With a focus in preserving both the past and future, it only makes sense that The Preservation Framer showcases art always, even between exhibitions. The venue regularly showcases photography by Patty Hitchcock and Jen Osojnicki and works by Colleen Vandeventer and Lindsay Nygaard, along with the annual winners of The North Attleboro Junior-Senior Student Art Show. Furthermore, The Preservation Framer remains the exclusive retailer of the incomparable Peter Clarke, whose pen and ink illustrations have made him a nationally recognized figure, and whose depictions of turn-of-the-century townships and local hot spots have elevated him to legendary status around southeastern Massachusetts. It has been said Clarke's hand-stippled originals must be seen to be believed, which means you'll have to make a trip to The Preservation Framer & Art Gallery in the near future.

MADE YOU LOOK TWICE
The Combination of Printmaking and Drawing
Yields Poetry at the Chandler Gallery's Small Works Salon
When both printmaking and drawing are used to create a single work, the results can make the viewer do a double take. The Chandler Gallery's 2014 Small Works Salon, "Direct/Indirect," juried by Bill Flynn, gathers the best examples of drawing on top of prints and printing on top of drawings. Flynn, a professor at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and an accomplished artist with a background in both drawing and printmaking, couldn't wait to see how the entries would incorporate the two mediums. Flynn says he was looking for "a collage that joggles your brain" along with "a little bit of poetry."
"Direct/Indirect" is on display at the Chandler Gallery from April 1st through May 9th with an opening reception on
Sunday, April 13th, from 3-5pm.
