Mary Dondero’s drawings capture energy and gestural movements that convey a fundamental human quality that transforms marks into feelings with meaning. Filling the field of her paper, Dondero choreographs a build up of spontaneous strokes into complex webs, tangles and patterns that connect with the viewer at a instinctual level.
Tatiana Flis draws subtle forms and images that explore relationships between the human psyche and moments of chaos, solitude, tension, excess and absence. Employing a surrealist language, she combines diverse imagery of the built and natural landscape in unlikely ways. The meshing of the fluidity of water media with the tightness of ruled architectonic forms hovering in empty spaces infuses her drawings with intrigue.
Kendra Ferreira works with colored pencil depicting ordinary subjects in focused, heighted and extraordinary ways. Colored pencils permit her to fuse the expressiveness of painting with the control of drawing, and by doing so; she is capable of conveying emotion, luminescence and compositional rhythms. Her drawings are bold and delicate, transparent and sturdy.

ABSTRACTIONS in BLACK AND WHITE
October 29 - December 29, 2017
The gallery is featuring the work of three artists who design, express, and create abstract images with extreme contrasts of tone.
Louise Laplante creates collages from vintage print materials over which she superimposes motifs and symbols. The bold graphic images contrast with the small-scale pattern of the text, but connect through a related theme as the aged and contemporary unite. William Clark is a photographer who captures abstract marks with light. He approaches the process as an artist might with a pencil, but while the pencil of light remains still, the paper (camera lens) moves to record glowing, intricate patterns. X Bonnie Woods works with folded paper to create three-dimensional planes on which she explores the luscious richness and fluidity of sumi ink marks, washes, and reticulations. The folded shapes of her paintings become irregular and risky, and frames cannot contain them.

PAWTUCKET FOUNDATION PRIZE WINNERS
June 25 - August 25, 2017
Each year for the past ten years the Pawtucket Foundation has awarded a cash prize of $1000 to an artist exhibiting their art in a juried show sponsored by the Pawtucket Arts Collaborative. The work of two of the prize winners, Maira Reinbergs and Ricky Gagnon, will be featured in an exhibit that will sing with color. Reinbergs' abstract paintings display subtle and nuanced colors within a minimalist structure enhanced with patterns inspired by music. While her paintings glow and radiate color, Gagnon's paintings pop and bounce with a riot of color. He paints personal imagery in a decorative manner and often pushes them over the top with beads, glitter, and pastic ornaments. Both artists create joy!

ARENA, The Passions of the Electorate
March 5 - May 5, 2017
Come election year, the fans fill hockey rinks and high school gyms, convention halls and state fair arenas. They follow one candidate or another, true believers with a dose of fanaticism. They pump the air, they chant "USA USA!," they grab selfies with their leader, they wave flags and stomp the floor and bellow through bullhorns. Based on news photos of the crowds at campaign events, these images use models to recreate the fans' behavior, isolating it under bright studio lights. Gary Duehr
Boston based artist, Gary Duehr, was chosen as a Best Emerging Artist in New England by the International Association of Art Critics. He works in photography and video and shows his work in galleries and museums internationally and as public art installations. His awards include a Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellowship and grants from the LEF Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation. Gary Duehr is also a published poet.

Printmakers, Elizabeth Goddard and Regina Partridge, established a printmaking studio in a spacious, lightfilled space in a converted cardboard factory on Exchange Street in downtown Pawtucket, Ri in 1999.

Alexander Budnitz, a photographer, will be showing work along with his mother, Toba Weintraub, a painter, and his mother-in-law, printmaker, Margot Rocklen.
Although connected by family, the artists work in different media, styles, and themes. Budnitz, a Boston-based graphic/web designer and photographer creates prints of manipulated and enhanced photographs combined with graphic elements, digital effects, and carefully considered compositions. The results convey moodiness, nostalgia, and/or intrigue. A series of paintings by his mother, Toba Weintraub, a resident of Pawtucket, RI, depict views from her window that overlooks the Blackstone River. With simple shapes, painterly textures, and skillfully nuanced colors, Weintraub captures the essence of the seasons of the year. Margot Rocklen, on-the-other-hand, is a printmaker from Connecticut who works with a bold color palette and lots of pattern. In her Piscine Series, fish swim though aquatics delightfully energized by abstract shapes and swirling forms. The diversity of the work on exhibit reveals three different creative impulses and aesthetic sensibilities carried out in various creative mediums. |
