"Journey to the Interior"

Paintings and drawings by Bob Nason
March 4 - 26, 2011
First Friday Opening, March 4, 5:00 - 8:00pm

From Jon Edwards:

Bob Nason is an eighty-seven year old painter who works out of his Portland studio at Running with Scissors in the Bayside neighborhood. I will be showing his work in an exhibition that will run during the month of March at Addison Woolley Gallery. I am Addison Woolley gallery landlord, with my studio (Fox Street Studio) in the basement. I will occasionally be presenting work of other artists, two or three times a year in the Addison Woolley gallery space. This is the first of such exhibits. I will be showing Holly Meade's new work in November, and working on selections from Tim Whelan's photography collection and a group show of Munjoy Hill.

"Quartet"

Three photographers and one sculptor – Arunas Bukauskas, Barbara Goodbody, Melonie Bennett, and Susan Bennett

Barbara Goodbody’s abstract photographs of sunrises over Penobscot Bay and Newgrange, Ireland, reminiscent of the painterly style of Georgia O’Keefe, dazzle with color and celebrate the Earth’s daily re-awakening; while Arunas Bukauskas and Melonie Bennett give us insights into the human heart and spirit in their sensuous, poignant and quirky black and white portraits.  Susan Bennett’s stainless steel sculptures round out the exhibit with a rich and voluptuous third dimension - the bright textured and polished steel of the pieces complementing the silver tones of the portraits.

Each of these artists brings an impressive list of accomplishments, exhibit histories and accolades to the walls of Addison Woolley Gallery and we are indeed proud to show their work during the month of February.

The February exhibit, "Quartet" got a rave review from Philip Isaacson in the "Audience" section of the Portland Sunday Telegram, published 2/20/2011.

Joint Exhibit
Diane Hudson - Photographs
Jane Banquer - Coastal Suites

Wit, drama and color will exemplify visions in mixed media for the month of November at Addison Woolley Gallery.  An accomplished artist who works in several mediums, Jane Banquer explores the dramatic and sweeping character of the Maine coast in her "Coastal Suites: Casco Bay, Popham and Monhegan".  Each brilliantly executed suite is a series of multiple views and treatments in Solar Plate Etchings, Woodcuts, and Oil Paintings, rich in texture and detail.

Diane Hudson celebrates color and her love of life in photographs that display her keen observations of people and situations with humor, warmth and clarity.  They exude her own sense of joy and that of others.  Her excitement about the process of making photographs is palpable; from the moment of capturing something that speaks to her heart, to the actual making of a print and bringing that moment into history and permanence.

September 30 - October 30, 2010


Joint Exhibit
Dan Dow Photography: "How Long is Yesterday: Images of Ireland"
Andrea van Voorst van Beest: "Oil Paintings - New Work"

 

The month of October at Addison Woolley Gallery featured two shows in one exhibit with HowLong is Yesterday? Photographs of Ireland by Dan Dow; and Oil Paintings – New Work by Andrea van Voorst van Beest.  As two distinctly different artists, both see stories in the scenes and situations they render into art.  Dan’s discerning eye delves into the myths, mysteries and romance of ancient Ireland; while Andrea explores the world around her and re-creates her own version of it in paint, with a style that holds a glimmer of Gauguin.

Dan worked as a darkroom, silver gelatin photographer for forty years.  He made the transition to working digitally in recent years and feels that he couldn’t do the work he does now without the wet darkroom experience. He brings the subtlety, structure, light and shadow of the black and white technique into his color images, not unlike Harry Callahan, a photographer who has had an influence on Dan’s work.  He also holds what he calls the humble belief that, “While the photography world as I know it contains many photographers with enormous talent and enviable numbers of disciples – there was Paul Strand and everything after that is just details.”

Andrea’s many talents lie in printmaking (she is a member of The Peregrine Press), drawing, etching, and painting.  She paints in oil, gouache, or watercolor.  Her extensive education includes a degree from Pratt Institute and her widely exhibited work is in the collections of The Portland Museum of Art, Art Gallery at the University of New England, New York Public Library Print Collection, Bowdoin College, and Colby College.
