The
William-Scott Gallery celebrates our 10th season in Provincetown
with a Season Preview Salon exhibition featuring new work
by all twenty-one of our gallery artists. On view May 28 – June
16, 2004, the exhibition is an exciting, comprehensive,
and diverse collection of work in all media, ranging in
style from figurative to abstract, and from the traditional
to the conceptual. Please join us for an opening reception
on May 28th from 7 to 9 PM.
This
year’s Salon showcases the work of those names familiar
to our audiences, while it also introduces several new
artists. Provincetown painter John Dowd captures the historical
architecture, beaches, and dunes drenched in the Cape’s
transcendent light, as well as a series of haunting urban
cityscapes. Will Klemm offers luscious and ethereal imagined
landscapes and dreamscapes, exquisitely rendered in pastel.
Provincetown painter Chet Jones bases his work on the simple
act of looking at light—his luminous compositions most
often feature the iconic façade of a single house perched
on a bare horizon. Intimate portraits by Daphne Confar,
such as Janice Adopts a Greyhound, employ clever titles
giving insight into her subject’s delightful idiosyncratic
characteristics.
New artists featured this year include Christa Blatchford, who exhibits a series of collaged photographs and digital video stills entitled “waiting for my ship to come in,” photographer Glenn Daidone who documents the Cape’s
quiet off-season, and figurative artist Damon Lehrer whose
work embraces the art historical tradition of narrative
painting. Meg Shields paints evocative skies and lonely
horizon lines punctuated by water towers, while Gail Spaien
offers contemporary folk paintings, focusing on decorative
patterning and exquisitely rendered flora, fauna, and birds.
Other gallery artists include John Clayton, Deborah Davidson, Rebecca Doughty, David Dunlop, Harry Folsom, Anette Jacque, Sandra Jones Campbell, Michael Lynch, Keith Maddy, Nancy Nicholson, Michael Page, and David Tomb.
The William-Scott Gallery in Provincetown is located at 439 Commercial Street in the heart of the East End gallery district. All exhibitions and receptions are free and open to the public. For more information please call (508) 487-4040, or visit our website www.williamscottgallery.com
