Palindrome: Back to Hope by Andrae Green
2023-11-12 13:00 - 2024-02-11 16:00 | 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

Photography by Steven Edson
On Display from November 4 – November 30
Artist Statement:
As a photographer, I attempt to visually describe moments in transition while observing the complexity and vastness of the land, people, and objects within constantly changing conditions. For these brief moments, time stands still for eternity.
Form and function welded, bolted, and stitched together for speed, comfort, performance, and safety. All vintages are represented in my work starting from 1885 to the Model T to antique cars from the turn of the century to the vintage era of the 1920’s thru to the mid-century cars of the 1930’s to the 1950’s to hot rods and muscle cars to the current late model cars including performance luxury vehicles and race cars. My car photography illustrates the exquisite precision of bent metal and chrome to conform to a designer’s vision for the efficiencies of aerodynamics combined with the beauty of timeless style. Within this series, I use the camera to highlight and celebrate the industrial nature of car design both in its abstraction and the transformation cars undergo in different lighting and environmental atmospheric conditions.
Cars are a catalyst for many people’s earliest memories: from romantic dinner dates or to the store and day trips across the region or cross-country adventures. Vehicles are used for pleasure and for commercial entities and for some, the sheer thrill and enjoyment combined with the skills of racing to be the first to cross the finish line in the shortest amount of time.

Caryl Hull Leavitt Artist Talk
2023-10-10 19:00 - 21:00 | MA
In Person or Online
Making sense of the world around me – in shape, pattern and color.

Hull-Leavitt’s talk and demonstration, offered in partnership with the Art Wellesley, will focus on her recent work, some of which is on display at the Tolles Parsons Center starting September 28. Her energetic tablescape paintings – The Dinner Party series – celebrate joy and abundance with dynamic color and familiarly festive shapes. Hull-Leavitt is a painter working from observation and intuition, interpreting her experiences through patterns, shapes and color. She sees dynamic compositions in fleeting moments and responds to them with loose brush strokes and gestural marks, favoring expression over exact likeness. “Painting is my way of being very present in the world. My art comes from observing what’s around me, an emotional response to what I see and an exploration of materials that leads to its own kind of discovery and storytelling,” reflects Hull-Leavitt.
Art has been a consistent force throughout her life. Raised in NY, going to museums and art fairs was a usual family outing. After graduating from Hampshire College with a BFA, she spent her career as a founder and creative director of a design firm specializing in biotech while raising her now grown family. She paints full time and shows throughout NY and New England.

On Display from October 7 – November 3
Please join the artist for a reception on October 14th from 2:30 – 4:00
About the Artist:
I find my inspiration in nature – the infinite range of colors, lines, shapes and atmosphere. As I study a scene, my attention is always drawn to light and its effects. I strive to capture the luminosity in a variety of ways. As I paint, I build the surface of my work by applying multiple layers of oil paint (and sometimes cold wax), retaining previous marks and colors, while leaving trace results of others, or obscuring them altogether. My approach strives to create a depth and history which results in a complex and nuanced surface of color, harmony and balance.
This Event is made possible by the North River Arts Society
