Jayne Adams takes on Halloween

Halloween is a time of celebration and superstition. Halloween has long been thought of as a day when the dead can return to the earth, and ancient Celts would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off these roaming ghosts.

I wanted to share these rare, ghostly and fun paintings by Jayne Adams. They are spectacular, fun, well painted, and the compositions are wonderful.

Heading to Boston International Fine Art Show

We are very excited to announce that we will be participating in the Boston International Fine Art Show, November 18 - 21st. This will be our second year participating in this fine event. Swing on by and see us at Booth #3, same booth as last year.

This piece by William Thomson will be just one of many fine paintings and sculpture featured at our booth.

Sydney Bella Sparrow

I recently discovered "Unknown" on my last trip to Thomson's home. He painted this masterpiece in the late 1970's as part of his wind series. This is one of the few pieces left in this series, in fact the only large piece (50 x 40) still available.

Spectacular 2010

"Sneak Peak" opens today, highlighting new artists in our 2010 season. It promises a look at what’s to come during Bowersock's 11-exhibition year including a new “feature” wall and an introduction to the gallery’s newest artists; guests and signed. Read More>>>

Diane Kirkpatrick came on board as a guest artist at the end of last season, creating an immediate impact. She is now a signed artist.

Having toured our artists’ studios throughout the winter months, witnessing the work each is doing, the season could only be dubbed “Spectacular."

Jane Adams was also brought on board at the tail end of last season. She too immediately resonated with collectors. Adams focus is the figure.

Other artists joining us this season, still life painter - Christopher Pothier, sculptors, Carol Roll and Trisha Coates.

Swing on by the gallery, this exhibit is up through May 14th.

Figurative Artist Jayne Adams

Jayne Adams is a fine artist whose work is primarily figurative oil paintings on wooden panel supports. Her process is a layered application of drawing, paint, and glazing, creating a surface texture and finish that is significant to the outcome of each piece. Expressive mark making and color layering is sustained throughout, allowing for a varied surface, heightened color, and visual intrigue. Margins often extend beyond the actual image as the subject drifts outside the given painting space. The results are a visual energy that is the undertow for the attention of each piece.

Adams is our newest figurative artist working from live models trying to capture the essence of work and the heaviness of work after a long.

There is so much more going on in these pieces. Adams uses very little color in the figures, sometimes it's the short burst of color that bring the figure and story all together.




We are proud to include Adams as part of our 2010 line up.

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.

Marc by Marc Jacobs and Bowersock Gallery Team Up

We just received our "Louis Vuitton" travel luggage for auction, donated by Marc by Marc Jacobs.

"Louis Vuitton" luggage up for Auction;
Keepall 60
Alzer 60
Waterproof Keepall

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>>>

The "Taking Form" Dance

“Taking Form” featured the work of Kim Bernard and Shaune McCarthy. Both two mid-career artists that are known for their strong individual visions that leave indelible impressions.

The opening reception included a special “taking form” dance performance, reflective of the exhibition’s spirit. Two great videos of the dance on youtube. (Taking Form II, and Taking Form).

Both have developed very clear approaches to their art forms. These are highly dedicated artists, in the truest sense of the word, constantly exploring, moving forward, yet somehow maintaining the essence of what makes them unique. Kim Bernard and Shaune McCarthy create individual art because they reach inside rather than follow a trend. Read more>>>

Thanks to Brad Fowler for these wonderful photos.
