Provincetown Season Preview Salon May 23 – July 2, 2003  The William-Scott Gallery is pleased to present our annual Season Preview Salon exhibition, on display in our Provincetown gallery May 23 – July 2, 2003. Featuring new work by all nineteen William-Scott Gallery artists, 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 23rd 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. Renown painter John Dowd exhibits his luminous portrayals of the historical architecture, beaches, and dunes of Provincetown and Truro, as well as a haunting series chronicling Boston’s disrupted and ever-evolving urban geography. Continuing to delight viewers with work reminiscent of children's storybook illustrations, Rebecca Doughty creates a complex and evocative world featuring a cast of psychologically charged animal characters. Accomplished artist Will Klemm offers his luscious and ethereal imagined landscapes and dreamscapes, exquisitely rendered in pastel. Intimate portraits by Daphne Confar, such as Tom thinks big thoughts, employ clever titles to disclose idiosyncratic tidbits of information, giving life to their isolated subjects.  New artists featured this year include Michael Page, who creates sculpture and assemblage works utilizing found wood, and established San Francisco artist David Tomb, whose energetic mixed media portraits are rendered with virtuostic gestural intensity. Also new to our roster are abstract painter Deborah Davidson, figurative painter Anette Jacque, photographer Michael Lynch, and studio furniture artist Jeff Soderbergh. Other participating artists are Kelly Bennett, John Clayton, David Dunlop, Harry Folsom, Chet Jones, Sandra Jones Campbell, Michael Lynch, Keith Maddy, Nancy Nicholson, Michael Page, Steve Smulka, Jeff Soderbergh, 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 Almitra Stanley, Director, at (617) 542-4030, or visit our website www.williamscottgallery.com.
