February is a cruel time for someone like me who comes from lands warmer in the west. Luckily, there're some great pieces of art to keep me busy indoors coming to the galleries at AS220 this month. Here's the rundown:
The Main Gallery at Empire St. will feature multimedia work + painting from sisters Kate Siner Francis and K. Lenore Siner. Expect found-object bricolage with a cerebral bent and some lush wax/oil/mixmedia paintings with a concern for materiality and image.
In the Open Window at the Empire Street Gallery is Rob Robbins, an illustrator whose intricate, labor-intensive watercolor+ink works evoke both nature and traditional folk art motifs.
A hop&skip&jump away at the Mathewson St. Project Space, Chryssa Udvardy brings us Shadows and Objects, an installation of her minimal and evocative sculptures that question space, light, and our experiences of both.
Finishing up the charge is Mollie Hosmer-Dillard with a series of new works in the Reading Room of the Project Space. Her beautiful paintings are caught between density and levity, the natural world and the abstract.
So fear not intrepid bravers of the New England winter. We've got some cures for that meteorological harshness. Join us at the opening reception on Sunday, February 6 from 4-7pm, for free, in all the spaces. And don't forget to keep a lookout for artists talks lined up this month from a number of our exhibitors.
