Working In The Grace Of Solitude – Mini Gallery Show
2022-05-04 12:00 - 17:30, 2022-05-08 12:00 - 16:00 UTC | 4th Floor Mini Gallery, 122 Western Avenue, Lowell, MA, 01851, United States
“My work, over the past two years, has in-deed been prepared and responds to having to work in SOLITUDE, first, of course due to the various public health mandates but also due to the normal open studio events having been suspended in the Lofts. During this period, I have produced three seres, these are THE GRACE OF SOLITUDE, DESSPOIR, and INTERRUPTION. Images from THE GRACE OF SOLITUDE series were recently published in The Circle Magazine (Lyon, France) but no others have been shown locally in any venue. The title – THE GRACE OF SOLITUDE (not isolation) proposes that I have found working in solitude can be an experience of positive thinking and not necessarily an experience of despair. However, the DESSPOIR and INTERRUPTION SERIES respond to a less positive period. The proposed show would use the space available on the 4th Floor Min-gallery to present a sample of images from all three series.” – Garry Harley

Daydream at Loading Dock Gallery
2022-05-08 12:00 - 16:00, 2022-05-04 12:00 - 17:30 | Loading Dock Gallery, 122 Western Avenue, Lowell, MA, 01851, United States
Elena Gorodensky and Margarita Krylova invite us to DAYDREAM this May at Loading Dock Gallery. DAYDREAM offers paths to understanding through friendship and imagination.
Elena Gorodensky views painting as a search for awareness. Visual poems, her paintings are intricate, flowing, reflective. Line becomes metaphor. Colors surprise. Inspired by both everyday life and fairytales, Gorodensky experiments with visual language, combining ink, acrylics, watercolors, and oils. Gorodensky holds an MFA from Moscow Stroganoff Academy of Art and Design. She lives in Acton, MA.
Margarita Krylova sees the world as a magical place. She paints with saturated color and uses surreal, often symbolic, imagery, exploring what lies between the real and the imagined. Krylova paints primarily in oils. She also combines ink painting with encaustic. Krylova has degrees in art from School of the Museum of Fine Arts and in biology from Tufts. She lives in Tewksbury MA. Her studio is at Western Ave Studios, Lowell, MA
Friends as well as colleagues, both artists teach at Alma Mater Studio in Lexington MA.
DAYDREAM runs May 4-29, 2022, at Loading Dock Gallery, 122 Western Avenue, Lowell, MA. The gallery is open noon-5:30pm, Wednesday through Saturday, and noon-4pm on Sundays. The reception is 3-5pm, Saturday, May 7, during Western Avenue Studios monthly open house, noon-5pm.
Loading Dock Gallery is part of Loading Dock Arts, Inc., a 501c3. For details, visit www.theloadingdockgallery.com.
