SUMMARY:Rose Olson: New Acquisitions
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nOpen to Montserrat community M-F\, 10am-5pm or by appointment: gallery@montserrat.edu \n“I have always been interested in the color of almost anything. Even iridescent nail polish on the hands and feet of women riding the subway fascinates me. But I am especially excited by color created with changing light. I try to emulate hues in the moving sky\, the sea and neon lights. The colors of nature\, the colors of culture and many works of art inform my paintings.”                                                                     \n                                                                                                                                                                   – Rose Olson      \n                                                                                                                                                                                                  \nRose Olson is a prolific and accomplished painter and Faculty Emeritus of Montserrat College of Art. The selection of work presented here\, a generous family gift to the college made in 2022\, spans from Olson’s early landscapes of the 1980s and abstractions of the 1990s to her later minimalist compositions using industrial plywood and liquid acrylics. In her more recent works\, Olson added numerous layers of paint to create sumptuous surfaces that enhance the natural wood grain patterns as the painting builds in luminosity. Colors change as the viewer moves or the light shifts; hard edges and added color bands heighten the works’ spatial effects.  Viewed together\, the works in the exhibition illustrate Olson’s singular vision and eclecticism that has evolved over nearly four decades.

SUMMARY:Shallow Waters: Views from the Bahamas.
DESCRIPTION:An Exhibition of works done over the summer Josue Bessiake\nGallery Hours\nM-F\, 10am–5pm\nDates\nSeptember 5–15\, 2023 \nClosing Reception and Talk on Wednesday\, 11-12pm\n  \nThe works displayed show the transformation in my practice from before during and after a trip to the Bahamas. While there I reflected on the difference in light\, color\, and the rich history experienced there. Ranging in media and procedure the work is an amalgamation of ideas processes and discoveries in one summer. After experiencing the light and air of the Bahamas I felt my eyes become open to a range of colors that are at my disposal. Much of my work is predicated on the idea of working from life to gain a sense of empathy with my subjects\, creating something there that is meaningful to me which in turn can be expressed to the viewer. This trip was sparked by an interest in abstraction and to see much deeper. I sought to understand what it was that I had yet to see that made me avert from abstraction. The discover of the late artist Sam Gilliam triggered a great fascination with the idea that something could be expressed through pure color and form. The artist Michael P. Edwards studied directly with Gilliam and happened to work in the Bahamas. Through the help of Ari Montford who also aided in funding the trip\, we were able to connect and I studied with him personally getting a glimpse into the mind of Gilliam as well as learning from Edwards an established artist in his own right. Many of the works are inspired by Gilliam in some way or another\, the most important thing that the works explore is the marriage of differences whether it’s a difference in articulation\, color\, shape\, material\, and most importantly light\, in the hopes of creating new.

SUMMARY:Midnight Snack: An Installation by Real Fake Animals
DESCRIPTION:Midnight Snack is a surrealist\, soft-sculpture installation created by the artist collective Real Fake Animals (RFA)\, an interstate collaborative group of artists spanning the east coast. Fueled by the yearning of artists wanting to create\, emotion is evoked in the installation through the expressive nature of puppetry and props. \nOn one side of the 301 Frame Gallery is an installation of  over two hundred puppet heads – compressed together in the form of a fleece blanket and created in a range of skin tones– stare out in a silent scream.  Through a tessellated pattern\, the blanket realizes the repetitious physical nature of craft in real space. In the adjacent window space\, an installation of an overflowing refrigerator brimming with an abundance of food and props spilled haphazardly. Among them\, a figure peeks out furtively\, as though caught red-handed sneaking a late-night snack. The viewers\, made an unwilling participant\, take the figure aback — revealing the scene’s sense of inner conflict\, hinting at hidden desires and untapped creative urges. \nReal Fake Animals\, a cutting-edge collective of multimedia artists\, possesses an eclectic range of skills and boundless creative abilities. Their shared desire to experiment thrives within a nurturing community space\, fostering a culture of inspiration and camaraderie that fuels the creative spirit among peers. Real Fake Animals include: \nColman Berube \nChloe Carleton \nHannah Daigle \nMax Foster \nKili Gallagher \nCoco Haseltine \nWill Higgins \nAngie Iacurci \nKal Klaza \nKiran Marwaha \nSam Rose \nQuill Rose \n  \n
