SUMMARY:Company Meeting: New Works by Robb Sandagata at Storage Closet Gallery
DESCRIPTION:ATTENTION ALL STAFF: \nStop your Tik Tok/Instagram doom scrolling and report for this month’s MANDATORY COMPANY MEETING\, in which we will discuss:\ngrotesque narrative artworks inspired by 3 years of mostly working from home- virtual meetings\, toxic politics\, impending doom\, protests\, illness (both viral and chronic genetic issues)\, collapsing ethics and morality\, and grasping for love and hope amidst chaos. \nCompany Meeting combines paintings and drawings created during the great upheaval of the 2020s. Grotesque\, cartoonish figures twist\, explode\, and bend backwards into psychedelic eruptions of color\, pattern\, and detail. Sandagata’s works critique and question\, melding elements of pop culture\, 80s comics\, countercultural movements\, punk\, heavy metal\, chronic illness\, politics and contemporary art into a visual riot. \nRobb Sandagata was born in New Haven\, CT and has lived in New York\, Arizona\, and Massachusetts. Significant influences\, in roughly chronological order\, include: cartoons\, comic books\, Dungeons & Dragons\, “Alternative” music\, punk rock\, theater\, competitive debate\, mid-90s Hardcore\, and band t-shirts. He lives and works in Lowell\, Massachusetts.

SUMMARY:Black & White at the Loading Dock Gallery
DESCRIPTION:At Loading Dock Gallery\, Sandrine Colson and Jean Wallace present Black & White. Black and white are culturally powerful signifiers. Black and white thinking reduces the world to binary choices. Black & White explores perception: opposites and the nuances in between. \nColson sees herself as a storyteller. She works abstractly\, using bold marks and intricate shapes\, often referencing natural forms. Her work is filled with paint swirls\, playful paper cut-outs\, and three-dimensional objects\, resulting in richly textured canvases with intricate layers and meanings. \nWallace draws inspiration from personal experience while addressing universal themes such as family\, strength\, loss\, and grief. Her work is narrative\, visceral\, and documentary. She works with a variety of media including photography\, encaustic painting\, and mixed media. \nBlack & White runs February 4-26\, 2023 at Loading Dock Gallery\, 122 Western Avenue\, Lowell\, MA\, open noon-5:30pm\, Wednesday-Saturday\, and noon-4pm Sundays. Reception 3-5pm\, Saturday February 4\, with Artists Talk at 4pm. For details\, visit www.theloadingdockgallery.com. \nLoading Dock Gallery is part of Loading Dock Arts\, Inc.\, a 501c3.

SUMMARY:Company Meeting: New Works by Robb Sandagata at Storage Closet Gallery
DESCRIPTION:ATTENTION ALL STAFF: \nStop your Tik Tok/Instagram doom scrolling and report for this month’s MANDATORY COMPANY MEETING\, in which we will discuss:\ngrotesque narrative artworks inspired by 3 years of mostly working from home- virtual meetings\, toxic politics\, impending doom\, protests\, illness (both viral and chronic genetic issues)\, collapsing ethics and morality\, and grasping for love and hope amidst chaos. \nCompany Meeting combines paintings and drawings created during the great upheaval of the 2020s. Grotesque\, cartoonish figures twist\, explode\, and bend backwards into psychedelic eruptions of color\, pattern\, and detail. Sandagata’s works critique and question\, melding elements of pop culture\, 80s comics\, countercultural movements\, punk\, heavy metal\, chronic illness\, politics and contemporary art into a visual riot. \nRobb Sandagata was born in New Haven\, CT and has lived in New York\, Arizona\, and Massachusetts. Significant influences\, in roughly chronological order\, include: cartoons\, comic books\, Dungeons & Dragons\, “Alternative” music\, punk rock\, theater\, competitive debate\, mid-90s Hardcore\, and band t-shirts. He lives and works in Lowell\, Massachusetts.
