SUMMARY:Lynne Harlow: Loomings
DESCRIPTION:In her installation and interdisciplinary practice\, the Providence\, Rhode Island artist\, Lynne Harlow\, transforms traditional and nontraditional spaces using modest materials and processes. Taking inspiration from the Minimalists and the Light and Space artists of the 1960 and 1970s\, Harlow uses industrially made materials\, such as tinted Plexiglass\, vinyl\, and house paint\, to create immersive and multi-sensory experiences for the viewer that are vibrant\, sometimes provocatively garish\, and also at times soft\, subtle\, and barely there. In her installation for the 301 Frame Gallery\, Harlow uses broad swaths of color and playful curtains of bright pink vinyl that dynamically and playfully interact within the narrow confines of the space. Harlow’s less is more approach is not just an homage to minimalist art traditions or created for simple visual effect. Rather\, her installations explore the dynamic physicality and the phenomenological possibilities of light and color.  Harlow states\, “I arrive at my pieces by reducing physical and visual information.  This process of reduction\, a steady taking away\, is ultimately intended to be an act of generosity.  In each piece I’m looking for the point at which these reductions allow me to give the most.” \nAbout Lynne Harlow \nLynne Harlow has exhibited her work internationally for the past 20 years. Gallery exhibitions include several solo shows at MINUS SPACE\, Brooklyn\, NY\, and Liliana Bloch Gallery\, Dallas\, TX. Museum exhibitions include the Hofstra Museum of Art in 2020 and the deCordova Biennial at the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in 2013\, as well as shows at MoMA PS1\, Brattleboro Museum\, the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art\, and Instituto de Artes Gráficas de Oaxaca. Harlow has received awards from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation\, Chinati Foundation\, Rhode Island Foundation\, and BAU Institute\, and her work has been reviewed in publications\, such as Artforum\, The New York Times\, The Boston Globe\, The Providence Journal\, and Artnet Magazine\, among others. Harlow’s work is included in public collections\, such as The Museum of Modern Art\, Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York Public Library\, and Hunter College (all New York\, NY); RISD Museum (Providence\, RI); and The Philips Collection (Washington\, DC). Harlow holds an MFA from Hunter College and a BA from Framingham State College. \nLynne Harlow: Loomings is presented in collaboration with bkprojects \nbkprojects\, LLC\nwww.bkartprojects.com\nwww.drive-byprojects.com \n  \n

SUMMARY:Julie Peppito: Love is the Key
DESCRIPTION:Reception:  Tuesday\, September 6\, 5-7pm \n\nJulie Peppito: Love is the Key presents a series of recent and new artworks that interrogates the political and environmental impacts of our consumer-based culture. An activist and artist\, Peppito uses her artmaking to draw connections between our dependence upon cheaply made and disposable goods and its destructive effects on the planet and on human health. Peppito conveys this urgent message through the creation of subversively exquisite\, highly embellished mixed media drawings and paintings that are often heavily layered with the cast-off detritus of mass-production\, such as fabric\, buttons\, beads\, plastic toys\, and other single-use plastics.  In many of her compositions\, Peppito juxtaposes dense areas of color and found objects with delicate and detailed drawing—from the monumental mixed media work Wake Up! to smaller works on paper\, such as We are in Danger and Love is the Key. But as the title of her exhibition suggests\, Peppito’s message is not simply defeatist or alarmist. She believes that awareness\, action\, and compassion can positively change the course of our planet\, create a more equitable society\, and sustain a healthy environment. In other words\, love is indeed the key. \nIn addition to over 15 mixed media artworks\, the exhibition also includes Peppito’s collaborative and fantastical drawings with her husband\, the illustrator and graphic novelist\, Gideon Kendall. \n  \nAbout Julie Peppito \nJulie Peppito combines multiple materials in her sculptures\, installations\, collages\, and playground art. She has been an exhibiting artist in New York City for 31 years and has had nine solo exhibitions. Her work has been exhibited at The Long Island Children’s Museum\, Kentler International Drawing Space\, Art in General\, PS122\, HEREart\, Momenta\, NURTUREart\, Ethan Cohen Gallery\, and many other venues. She has received a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Sculpture and has made art for three New York Park’s Department playgrounds. \nShe holds an MFA with a concentration in sculpture from Alfred University in Alfred\, NY and she received her BFA from The Cooper Union in New York City.  You can see her playground art at J.J. Byrne Playground and James Forten Playground\, both in Brooklyn. Her work has been in The New York Times and The Daily Beast. Currently\, she has a giant “bird condo” on display at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. She was born and raised in Tulsa\, Oklahoma. She lives\, creates and teaches art in Kensington\, Brooklyn with her partner (artist\, illustrator\, graphic novelist) Gideon Kendall and their son Milo. \n  \nImage: Wake Up!\, 2018\, canvas\, trim\, thread\, acrylic paint\, wood\, found objects\, dimensional fabric paint\, and fabric. \n  \n
