We are very pleased to represent Peruvian Artist Persi Narvaez for the month of October. Artist reception is Saturday, October 18th, 5-7P. Persi will be in the gallery 2 days a week.  For more information call: 617-462-9281.Persi Narvaez expresses himself through the use of bold color, which both defines and supports the intricate architectural images.  While his art is deeply personal, incorporating images of churches, temples, vibrant cityscapes and individual elaborate structures, he also creates space for the viewer to become involved in the work.

Paintings by Nataysha Lindemann and Elizabeth Hathaway

Exhibition Dates: August 9- August 30, 2008

Artist’s Reception: August 10, 2008 — 3:00-6:00pm

Constructs of convention attempt to give order to a universe of seeming disorder. Value judgments are formed, separating us from one another and the environment we inhabit.

Nataysha Lindemann and Elizabeth Hathaway push through these boundaries in their series of paintings. Pulsating color undulating with line define patterns evocative of connections in both microcosm and macrocosm. There is a sense of mapping the passage of time and the gesture of memory. The compositions share a transformative quality in their chromatic embeddings and are gorgeously buoyant. Their dialogue with paint is freely inventive, rule-breaking and playful.

Nataysha and Elizabeth intentionally leave the concept open-ended. Viewers are invited to make their own associations. This shared body of abstract art captures the sublime in the midst of our chaotic, fractured world. Painting that which cannot be spoken.

r.e. hergert is a Boston based artist who has been drawing and taking photographs nearly all of her life.

For r.e. hergert, time is brief and these pieces reflect comprehensive moments.

“When I’m making art I’m really only interested in making something visually appealing. The plant symbolizes my interest in nature, the papers jetting out of the binder are a representation of how I’m not very organized, and the calculator is upside down because I’m terrible in math.” Trevor, 11th grade (more…)
