Figurative Figures - Diana Kirkpatrick

Wow, I just had to pleasure of meeting Diana Kirkpatrick and the most exciting part she just joined our team of talented artists. I was so excited about her work I grabbed unframed pieces, which is rare for me, but I knew you would love it. Sure enough two pieces have sold before I even had the chance to post them online. I am currently working on her website page, which should be up shortly but please keep checking.

Not only is Kirkpatrick an extremely talented and professional artist she is such a lovely, and wonderful person to talk to. We are very excited to have an exclusive with Diana. What does this mean, this means Bowersock Gallery will be busting out butt to give her national exposure and raising the value of her paintings. So buy early.

But for now her work will be arriving and posted online as they are completed and finished. I anticipate great things from her. Just so you know she is not a newbie to the industry. She recently just finished up a show at the Portsmouth Fine Art Museum, has had features in Magazines, and is a seasoned painter working for over 2 decades.

Diana is to the left and Jeanne' McCartin.

Her brushwork and skill is clear in her paintings. This woman knows what she is doing. She just isn't giving you a pretty painting she is telling you a story, and demanding your attention.

Stop by our booth at the Boston International Art Show on November 12 through the 15th where we will have our feature piece from Diana.

Our special occasion, "Fashion the Figure," opens Friday, September, 18th 7 to 9pm. Which will feature a mini fashion show of three select looks by Marc Jacobs, taken from the collection of Provincetown’s Marc by Marc Jacobs, 184 Commercial St., owned and operated by Robert Duffy, Jacobs’ longtime business partner. These three looks and three Louis Vuitton bags will be auctioned off, with proceeds from the items being donated to the Soup Kitchen in Provincetown, (SKIP).

The event will include a wine tasting with Wellfleet Wine Cellar and Spirits, and appetizers, donated by Farland Provisions.

What is interesting is how different the two art-forms look at the figure. Each looks to capture it and does so in very different ways. One arranges and arrests it in 2-dimention. The other enhances working with the form, draping it in art in real-time. Duffy will choose the looks for the Bowersock event based on the works of the exhibiting painters. “It’s gotten the artists very excited. They all plan on getting creative with this as

well.

The Marc Jacob’s fashions and Louis Vuitton bags are to be auctioned off, by silent auction, through the length of the show, starting Friday, September 4th, ending at noon sharp on Sunday, September 20. Bids will be taken at the gallery or by phone. No answering machine bids accepted. Check Website for rules.

The featured artists include Donna Harkins, Dennis Perrin and Gail Sauter. Each is a mature painter, with long careers marked by awards and recognition for their excellence, and each with a distinct look, differing from one another. Full Read>>>
