Introducing Unique Perspectives: Carole Bolsey, Gints Grinbergs, Kelly Russo
2025-03-21 18:00 - 20:00 | Savage Godfrey Gallery, 693 Main St, Norwell, MA, 02061, United States
Join us on Friday, March 21 at 6pm to celebrate the opening of Unique Perspectives featuring works by Carole Bolsey, Gints Grinbergs, and Kelly Russo. Please RSVP here.
This exhibition brings together three makers with strong and distinctive artistic voices, offering visitors opportunities to reflect on the artistic process as they take in diverse works.
Carole Bolsey paints large. Her canvases regularly measure over 5 feet and can be upwards of 14 feet. The evocative shapes of boats and barns are the subjects on display at the gallery. Used by ancient and modern civilizations, these shapes transcend time and culture. Carole depicts these structures amidst an abstracted ground, inviting the viewer to fill in the dots and transcribe their own memories and connections into the composition. Carole has taught painting at the DeCordova, Harvard University, and RISD. She lives and paints in Kingston, MA.
Gints Grinbergs is a collector. He scours metal yards for cast-o? pieces of steel to create his sculptures. Botanicals, boats, and sunbursts made of stainless steel will be on display. Inspired by nature’s geometry, Gints combines dozens of metal circles to compose a branch of apple blossoms. His works are either free-standing or sit atop stone bases. Large-scale installations by Gints can be found at the Duxbury Free Library and Union Point in Weymouth. Gints lives and works in Dedham, MA.
Kelly Russo’s intuitive abstract paintings are bright and dynamic. A mother of four and artist, her paintings depict a balance of color, shape, and action that symbolize the organized chaos of daily life. Leaning towards the landscape, her colorful paintings will be a welcome addition to the Gallery as the environment around us wakes up for spring. Kelly is a member of the South Shore Art Center, the Cambridge Art Association, and the Copley Society of Art. She lives and works in Scituate, MA.
Savage Godfrey Gallery is located at 693 Main Street, Norwell, MA. The Gallery shares a building and entrance with Coastal Chic Interiors. Gallery hours are Tuesdays 12 to 4 pm, Wednesday through Friday from 10 to 4 pm or by appointment.b

Statement from Artist: I am a visual artist, lover of color and a painter. I create art to share my experience of the world around me and because it brings me joy. My paintings, like me, tend to be vibrant, happy and engaging. I find abstraction to be a great space to express emotions and to connect with others. Experiencing art with others strengthens our connections, helping to create a vibe of understanding, respect and inclusion, the world I want to live in.
