Upcoming show invitation from Gloucester gallery owner, Jane Deering:

Please join us for the Opening Reception of ‘Lines of Thought | Contemporary Women Artists Draw’ on Thursday August 1st from 5-7pm. The opening will also have Dick Luecke on classical guitar.  He’s terrific.

As Art Critic Robert Hughes wrote:  

Drawing never dies, it holds on by the skin of its teeth, because the hunger it satisfies – the desire for an active, investigative, manually vivid relation with the things we see and yearn to know about – is apparently immortal…”             

The gallery is pleased to include artists—Meg Alexander . Gabrielle Barzaghi  . Ann Conneman . Linda Ekstrom . Celia Eldridge . Paige Farrell . Renata Fryshara . Lilian Hsu Anne Johnstone  Ann Ledy . Kat O’Connor  . Whitney River . Marie Schoeff . Emily Speed . Joan Tanner

Jane Deering Gallery group show: Gloucester . Cape Ann | modern conversations

Posted on by Catherine

Jane Deering Gallery is pleased to present 

Gloucester . Cape Ann | modern conversations

June 9 – June 29, 2022

Opening Reception on Saturday June 11th from 3-6pm.

Artists working in Gloucester, and more broadly on Cape Ann, have a unique vision of the promontory. What is their feel for our place along the sea? And how do they wish to present it to us, the viewers of their thoughts? Each exploration of light, land, sky, stone, architecture, industry, and countless other features is singular. There is communication between artist and place; and we sense, we hear, those conversations in their art. Participating artists include: Coco Berkman . Ann Conneman . Celia Eldridge . Paige Farrell . Erin Luman . Jeffrey Marshall . Adin Murray . James Paradis . Michael Porter . Christopher Pullman . Esther Pullman . Beverly Ripple . Caleb Hershey Rulli . Juni Van Dyke.

JANE DEERING ABOUT THIS SHOW:

My interest lies in how artists living and working in Gloucester, and more broadly on Cape Ann, express their vision of the promontory. What is their feel for our place along the sea? As they encounter it, and closely observe it, how do they wish to present it to us, the viewers of their thoughts? Each exploration of light, land, sky, stone, architecture, industry, and countless other features is singular. There is communication between artist and place; and we sense, we hear, those conversations in their art.

The New York Times recently penned the phrase to see it all anew, an apt phrase that could easily have been the title for this show.

After giving the gallery to regional artists for their own exhibitions these past months, I am happy to be back at JDG for the summer season. Join me for this first show which celebrates seeing and hearing anew this place of home.
