This Weekend in the Arts 12/14-17/18

Jane Deering Gallery presents Jeffrey Marshall | Working the Waterfront with an opening reception for the public on Saturday December 15th from 4:00-6:30pm @ 19 Pleasant Street, Gloucester. Marshall moved into his studio on Gloucester’s Morse-Sibley Wharf in 2016 and began months of observing, drawing and painting the life and rhythms at the wharf, most often watching the fishermen’s pick-up trucks that filled the area under his studio.  In Marshall’s words “ …. trucks pull up cab to cab to talk, or haul gear, and might stay for hours, days, or minutes.” These works soon became a visual document  — a reflection — respecting the movements and surroundings, the friendships and struggles of fishermen and lobstermen, at work at a specific place; and, too, connecting Marshall more strongly to the city he now calls home. The gallery will be open Saturdays and Sundays 1:00-4:00pm and by appointment through January 27, 2019.  Works in the exhibition can be viewed at janedeeringgallery.com info@janedeeringgallery.com . 917-902-4359
