Art in August: Adin Murray on now. Geoffrey Bayliss upcoming. Jane Deering Gallery #GloucesterMA

Adin Murray’s sixth show, Intertidal, at Jane Deering Gallery–on view through August 20, 2023–includes a compact and glowing group of landscape preparatory drawings ($1200), oil studies ($2500), and large paintings ($8000-$12,000) focused on coastal wetlands, real and not so real, in settings familiar and still, whether fall or spring, day or night, clear or misty.

Murray hews his moon and horizon motifs inland for this new series. And why not? Murray resides and works on Cape Ann and encounters the stunning Great Salt Marsh at every bend, its constantly changing conditions a natural wonder.

Red dots: collectors have purchased ‘Intertidal’ works across all three media processes.

In the flat files, ask to see a classic new series on paper by Aaron Fink inspired by the vicissitudes of a big melty pop of juicy watermelon and abstraction that serves up a slice of life’s shifting moods. Fink maintains studios in Boston and Rockport.

Upcoming: Geoffrey Bayliss white, and black on white opens August 24, 2023.
