Palindrome: Back to Hope by Andrae Green
2023-11-12 13:00 - 2024-02-11 16:00 (America/New_York) | The Art Complex Museum, 189 Alden Street, Duxbury, 02332, United States
Growing up on the island of Jamaica, Massachusetts painter Andrae Green says that the Caribbean Sea never played a huge part in his conscious life, but he was always aware of its presence. He knew, unconsciously, that he could go to it whenever he wanted and that it would always be there for him. He remembers his father bringing his family to Kingston Harbor and watching the young boys jump off the docks, into the abyss. Their fearless trust in the sea always fascinated him. Their leaps of faith inspired him.
Since moving to western Massachusetts and no longer having easy access to the sea, Green feels a longing that has translated into his most recent body of work: paintings that speak to the limitless potential for human imagination and freedom (a perspective that is very needed in these times) and drawings about weightlessness and freedom, all inspired by bodies of water and the Caribbean landscape. Green says that in the Caribbean mind, the sea, “Brings both joy and fear, love and hate, hope and resentment.”
Exhibit begins November 12th through February 11th of 2024, reception from 1pm to 4pm

Genevieve Davis worked for 50 years in the financial management of nonprofit corporations. Now retired from that, she is starting her second career as an artist, the discipline she was originally trained in.”

Skip DeBrusk is an ardent fisherman who spends far too much time chasing cod, tuna, stripers and sharks on Stellwagen Bank, consequently his paintings reflect a lifelong interest in marine and nautical painting. He is fortunate to have had many great teachers including Joanne Papandrea, Nancy Howell and Jack Haran. Many of his paintings lean towards the oriental and reflect a large expanse of white paper allowing the viewer to actively participate by filling in their own sense of mystery.
