SUMMARY:Ray Pisano: A Lifetime of Achievement
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nOpen to Montserrat community M-F\, 10am-5pm or by appointment: gallery@montserrat.edu \n \nNovember 12\, 2022 – March 18\, 2023\nDates November 15\, 2022 – February 24\, 2023 \n  \nRay Pisano: A Lifetime of Achievement highlights a selection of drawings\, studies\, and documentation celebrating the life and work of the renowned sculptor and one of Montserrat College of Art’s Founding Faculty. \nBorn in Lynn and residing in Nahant\, Pisano has been carving and creating major stone sculptures\, friezes\, and memorials for over seven decades. He has been commissioned to create large-scale sculptures in bronze and stone since the early 1950s locally and nationally including major installations at the Forest Hills Cemetery\, the Mary Baker Eddy monument in Lynn\, and the Frederick Douglass monument in New Bedford\, among others. \nPisano\, who often makes his own tools on his own forge in his studio as integral to his studio practice\, has worked on restorations of many major historical sculptures around New England\, including restoration work for sculpture and edifices for the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston\, Boston University\, Harvard University\, and others. \nIn addition to creating sculpture\, Pisano has also worked as a product designer for the commercial sector. He was a product director for the housewares division of General Electric and conducted product development for Newhart Products\, specializing in precision trace masters for jet engines. As a corporate director of product development at Towle Silver\, for whom he traveled internationally introducing new technologies to the trade\, Pisano designed homeware and tableware\, and example of which is included in this exhibition. \nA decorated World War II veteran\, Pisano holds a fifth-year certificate with highest honors from the Boston Museum School\, where he joined the faculty after graduating. He has also been a faculty member at Boston University. \nHe was honored by the City of Lynn for his bronze relief sculptures of Frederick Douglas and Mary Baker Eddy\, during an event at Lynn City Hall last fall. \nAt the age of 99\, Ray still works in his Nahant studio.  Ray’s words of wisdom on his longevity are “Never finish anything.” He believes you can’t leave if you still have work to do.

SUMMARY:Robert Moeller: A Series of Seditious Portraits with Adjacent Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Reception: Wednesday\, February 1\, 5-7pm \nArtist Talk: Tuesday\, February 21\, 11:10-12:00pm\, Paul Scott Library \nIn this recent series of portraits and companion landscapes\, Boston-based artist\, Robert Moeller\, responds to the incendiary events that took place in Washington\, D.C. following the 2020 Presidential election. \nOn January 6th\, 2021\, thousands of supporters of then President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol building to overturn the results of the presidential election. While this unprecedented event unfolded\, President Trump is said to have remained in the White House\, watching on television as his supporters violently entered and vandalized the Capitol Building. \nA Series of Seditious Portraits with Adjacent Landscapes focuses on the individuals that participated in the January 6th insurrection. As part of an on-going\, larger project\, the work in the exhibition focuses on\, as Moeller states\, “a time where it seemed half of America was at war with science\, the rule of law\, and an unrelenting pandemic.” The portraits are not depictions of actual individuals. The portraits\, while nondescript and intentionally crude\, are abstract and fictionalized representations of the interior surfaces of an insurrection and psychic spaces filled with anger and disinformation.  The figures in Moeller’s portraits are intentionally fragmented\, half-drawn and brutal. Crushed charcoal is dragged and pushed to shape faces and limbs. Paint tugs at the figures\, pulling at them and forcing them to abruptly reconsider their shape in the world. \nThe portraits are accompanied by kinetic landscapes that propose that the narrative is ongoing and that information\, and even reality itself\, is disputed. The landscapes are footnotes that are not even remotely pastoral but rather ruinous battlescapes. They follow the portraits with snapshots of erratic emotions and conflict\, while subtle areas of green space suggest the possibility of new conversations to be had. \n  \n
