Season Begins

We have our second show “Wild and Wonderful” coming up, an excursion into the worlds created by two distinct artists that have the technical skill to convincingly create alternate places.

The exhibit featuring Erin McFarland and Lauren Pollaro opens at the Bowersock Gallery,with a reception on Friday, May 28, from 7 to 9 p.m. The show runs through June, 15.

McFarland is a woman of vision, with an individual style that convincingly creates a world inhabited by unique creatures. Women with dreamy and haunting eyes move freely in an ethereal wilderness among the animals. The fluidity of McFarland’s style enhances the other worldliness of her uniquely representational imagery.

Pollaro's assemblages of created and found components are deftly worked, and yet appear to have always been in the finished state – always meant to be. Her work appears effortless and predestined. The use and manipulation of medium, and applied paint places Pollaro’s assemblage squarely in the realm of art.

This Man is Important!

William Thomson is showing with Master Artists, John Singer Sargent, Andrew Wyeth, Winslow Homer, and Edward Hopper just to name a few; at New Britain Museum of American Art, their exhibition; The Great American Watercolor, folks this is HUGE!!!

I highly recommend paying attention to artist William Thomson, if you have always looked at his work and wanted a piece now is the time. I truly believe he will be an artist that will go down in our art history books, as a master painter of our time. To back that up, New Britain Museum of American Art, has an exhibition coming up; The Great American Watercolor Apr. 24 - July 3, 2010 Opening Reception, 2-3:30 p.m. Sunday, Apr. 25, 2010.

New Britain Museum stated in Art New England, this is the first time that they have pulled out their private collection for a show such as this; "Never before shown as a group, 130 of the most distinguished examples will be featured in The Great American Watercolor."

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.

Carol Frances and International Artist Magazine

We are very excited for Carol Frances, she a FINALIST in the Challenge No. 56 Flowers and Gardens competition.

Carol Frances joined the gallery as an emerging artist 2 years ago and now she is an artist to pay attention to. Working hard creating these unique stand alone works of art.

INSPIRATION
Extravagant patterns of antique text and the shimmer of gold leaf – marry these together with a well rendered subject and oh my! Sometimes I can’t explain just how the complicated chemistry of a successful painting comes together. Carol Frances~ International Artist Magazine

Furniture Makes its Mark

Starting this spring the gallery will introduce two incredible furniture designers and furniture makers to our stable of artists; Jack Rodie and George Beland. Although Rodie joined us last year with his Za Zen cabinet, he will be introducing two other pieces this summer starting off with his Cherry Bench arriving the 1st of May.

George Beland will be joining us with his foundation line; affordable and modern, featuring clean lines and thoughtfully balanced proportions - perfect for any cozy urban space or that salty cape cod home. He is one of a handful of hot craftsmen coming out of his local area, creating waves with his different style of story telling. Recently featured in the Portsmouth Herald Spotlight for his show in NYC.

Swing by soon, you have got to see these finely crafted pieces.
