Rebecca Anne Nagle is a contemporary painter and mixed media artist. Her new works explore layering and transparency within society and nature. Both movement and emotions emerge from her search for rhythms, lyricism, and repetitions in the visual or metaphysical. Her mark-making, circles and patterns reflect her training as a figure skater.

Stephen Bates, a classically trained musician, is strongly influenced by the work and creative freedom of Wassily Kandinsky. After many years of viewing and studying, the artists in the Phillips Collection have been his primary teachers.

Lobster Cove String Quartet:
“To Paint the Night”

Saturday, September 16 @ 7:30pm

Annisquam Village Church .
820 Washington Street . Gloucester MA

The Lobster Cove String Quartet makes its debut Saturday evening, September 16 at 7:30pm. The white walls of the historic Annisquam Village Church will become the canvas for a soundscape of swirling tone-colors, as the Gloucester-based group presents To Paint the Night: a diverse bill of fare showcasing the richness and versatility of the string quartet format.

The program opens with Astor Piazzolla’s fiery Four for Tango, before probing the dark night of the soul which is Dmitri Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 8—dedicated by the composer “to the victims of fascism and war.” Thelonious Monk’s ‘Round Midnight, newly arranged for quartet by violinist and composer Scott Moore, is all blues and purples and grays: lush, playful, and mysterious. The concert closes with the sensual Impressionism of Claude Debussy’s radiant String Quartet in G minor.

The Lobster Cove String Quartet is the latest creation of Moore, Artist-in-Residence at the Annisquam Village Church. Moore is joined by members Erica Pisaturo (violin), Brandon White (viola), and Alex Fowler (cello). Admission is by donation ($35 suggested), and a reception with the artists will follow the performance.

ROCKY NECK ART COLONY (RNAC) presents Following Traditions, an exhibition 400+ years in the making. As its name suggests, Following Traditions connects the past to the present, the historic to the contemporary, the way things were to where they are. The exhibition features five local artists and considers their work within the context of Cape Ann’s significant artistic lineage. Participating artists are Nicholas Anthony Mancini, Jon Bolles, Amanda Hawkins, Will Suglia and Joe LoVasco, all of whom have deep personal or professional ties to the locale of the North Shore. 

The diversity of process, material and outcome across the work serves as a reminder of the artistic voices and muses that once found inspiration here in the nation’s oldest art colony:

Nicholas Anthony Mancini uses paint to create a space that is simultaneously referent to and removed from reality. His constructed spaces are not unlike those of Stuart Davis, in their play between surface and depth, offering glimpses of namable objects amongst painterly abstractions. Both artists find ways to play with and push the inherent flatness of painting, thereby creating a portal into another world. 

Jon Bolles situates his viewer in a very specific place and time. His visual notations of light are akin to Edward Hopper’s architectural paintings, where it may be argued that light is the true subject of the work. Bolles’ sensitivity to color and mark dramatize the highlights and shadows of his selected built environments, inviting the viewer to be immersed in a fleeting moment in time.

Amanda Hawkins’ plein air practice demands quick and bold brushwork, like that of Nell Bliane. 

Each brushstroke is alive, both referring to and diverging from its subject, but always working in unison to create form and depth. Hawkins, like Blaine, embraces the inherent abstraction of paint and sees it as a self-referent media. 

Will Suglia’s work entwines symbol and place. His visual narratives explore vignettes of people, places and objects transformed through material manipulation. This transformation from subject to consequent object is reminiscent of Marsden Hartley. Suglia, like Hartley, allows the artistic process to be seen, embedding a narrative into the final work. 

The driving motivation for Joe LoVasco’s work is a thorough investigation of form. LoVasco, like Milton Avery, has the rare ability to coalesce and harmonize wide-ranging shapes and forms. Whether looking at his two- or three-dimensional work, the viewer may find similar questions as when looking at an Avery painting: How did these shapes come to be?

Rocky Neck Art Colony has served as a microcosm of palpable creative energy for over 120 years and counting and continues to inspire. By bridging past and future, Following Traditions celebrates the here and now of Rocky Neck Art Colony.

The show’s artists have a strong connection to the light, the ocean and the magic that are the North Shore.

These memories and ideas are then translated into art by shape, form, photograph, paint and assemblage.”
