SUMMARY:Mike Grimaldi and Brett Mason : As Above\, So Below
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nOpen to Montserrat community M-F\, 10am-5pm or by appointment: gallery@montserrat.edu \nThe exhibition will be iterated four times throughout the duration.\nAs Above\, So Below is a visual conversation between Mike Grimaldi ’05 and Brett Mason ’12. \nDespite the two artists graduating from Montserrat College of Art and both having years of experience in the fine arts field\, each artist’s style is entirely unique unto themselves. Grimaldi and Mason come from two different galaxies in regards to their visual aesthetic and artistic approach. \nThis exhibition is a microcosm to the macrocosm of individuals finding common ground and understanding. The artists needed to negotiate\, collaborate\, and ultimately compromise on the work as a whole. What is presented on the wall is a synthesis of two minds creating a work of art that could not have existed without collective organization. \nAs further exploration of the concept\, the artists will return separately to iterate the piece over the course of the semester. This act of call and response is emblematic of the conversations necessary to reach understanding. \n\n  \nMike Grimaldi ’05 is known as Grimdrops in the art world. He lives on the north shore of Boston in historic Salem\, Ma. After art school\, he started designing logos\, painting live at events\, painting on canvas for private collectors and painting murals on parking lots\, tiny houses and even at city hall. Whether it’s at a restaurant\, a creative studio\, on canvas\, a separation wall in the backyard\, a tunnel leading out to a football field or on the facade of a tiny house\, Grimdrops wants his work to stop people in their tracks. He wants them to take a closer look – often for a selfie. At live events\, He creates custom art that can be tailored to the specific occasion\, whether it be the subject matter of the piece\, the color palette or even incorporating a logo. One time\, he designed and painted a mural in 48 hours and he wants to do that in less than a day. Grimdrops ultimate goal is to create a mural or live painting in every state and on every continent. \nBrett Mason ’12 is a painter and muralist based in the North Shore of Massachusetts and has exhibited throughout New England. Much of his current acrylic paintings reflect the concepts of sacred geometry and organic elements in nature\, often combining the ideas to create mystical landscapes. Through his meditative practice that reflects upon the theme of geometry\, Mason contemplates the balance and symmetry within nature that inspires a deep connection to the world around us. His work imbues a call to preserve the environment and the balance of human and natural order. By finding balance within ourselves\, we can bring forward positive action towards a healthy and stable future. Mason hopes to transcend these ideas into reality through his work by allowing people to contemplate his vision of a balanced world. \n  \n \n  \n \nMike Grimaldi & Brett Mason\, Collaborative Painting

SUMMARY:Emily Lombardo: The Caprichos
DESCRIPTION:248 Gallery\n248 Cabot Street\nBeverly\, MA 01915 \nGallery Hours\nOpen to Montserrat Community or by appointment: gallery@montserrat.edu \nhttps://youtu.be/5Uupau7rEoU \n2013-2016\nEtching and aquatint\, 9 x 6 inches \nThe Caprichos\, by Emily Lombardo\, is a series of 80 etchings which are in direct conversation and homage to Francisco Goya’s Los Caprichos\, 1799. Both reveal the dark underbelly of cultural movements which ultimately serve to divide society across economic\, racial\, political\, religious\, and gender lines. \nGoya’s series explores the artist’s dissatisfaction and disgust with humanity’s follies during the Enlightenment\, a period in which much of the Western world embraced reason and scientific discovery\, yet the artist’s native Spain experienced devastating wars\, economic humiliation\, and religious fanaticism. Though inspired by his own society\, Goya’s prints expose humanity’s universal failings. They reveal the dangerous tendency of all cultural movements to give way to fascism and inequity. \nLombardo continues this investigation within the modern\, globalized world\, bringing these same issues into contemporary light through a queer feminist lens. Using Goya’s work as a point of departure\, Lombardo showcases recognizable figures and events – including Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump\, Miley Cyrus’s act at the 2013 MTV VMAs\, and Damien Hirst’s diamond skulls – to critique everything from international politics and the art market to gender roles and societal expectations. The use of recognizable politicians\, celebrities\, events and institutions make The Caprichos instantly accessible to present-day viewers. \nEdition of 12. Numbered\, signed\, and dated in pencil.\nPublished by Childs Gallery and printed at the Center for Contemporary Printmaking (Norwalk\, CT) by printer Opal Ecker DeRuvo. \n  \nGenerously on loan from Childs Gallery. \nEmily Lombardo\, Frontispiece: Study for The Sleep (State I)\, from The Caprichos\, 2013\nEtching and aquatint

SUMMARY:Half Passed
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nM-F\, 10am–5pm \nHALF PASSED transforms the Bare Gallery into an interactive dreamscape. Following the previous show sonder\, HALF PASSED turns the clock into a manifestation of terror. The viewer finds themselves walking into an abstraction of reality narrated by their own inner theater. Each subtlety defines a new absurd connection between the viewer and their subconscious. The allegory of counting sheep is disrupted by an alternative outcome creating an immersive\, inescapable nightmare. Deeper horrors emerge from a disturbed state of slumber. \nHALF PASSED is a collaborative project with The Backrooms Guild.\nMarch 26 – May 10\, 2021 \nLexi Palmberg\nSaya Norton\nSam Rosenfeld\nKali Orna\nAurora Gloor\nBrooke Fraser\nChey Duarte\nKimmy Malaspina\nCarter Fluckiger \nhttps://youtu.be/PSl85aJ8FxU
