“DOUBLE LIFE”
We’re exploring duality, contradiction, and transformation—the spaces where more than one truth lives at once.

The visible and the hidden

Logic and intuition

Strength and softness

Precision and mess

Exposure and concealment

Hidden roles, alter egos, private practices, secret selves

Work and play; output and restoration

Survival and joy; discipline and drift

Your work may speak to one tension or move across many.
We’re interested in art that asks:
Who are you when no one is looking?
What if transformation is the point?

Reception for Armin Landeck: Rooftops and More
2026-02-22 13:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | The Art Complex Museum, 189 Alden Street, Duxbury, 02332, United States
The Duxbury Art Complex presents
Armin Landeck:
Rooftops and More
February 1 – April 26, 2026
Reception: February 22, 2026, 1:00 – 4:00 pm

Though the subjects he focused on were simple, printmaker Armin Landeck’s artwork was passionate and bold. Trained as an architect, the artist devoted his life to etching, creating his first print in 1927 on a used press that he purchased when he graduated from Columbia University in New York City.
In the 1930s and early 1940s, Landeck’s imagery focused on scenes of New York City, where he was studying, as well as rural Cornwall, Connecticut. While in New York, he took classes at the Art Students League, visited museums and galleries, and continued experimenting with printmaking. He briefly studied at the Atelier 17 with Stanley Hayter (1901–1988). Hayter introduced Landeck to copper engraving and the artist quickly became fascinated with this technique. His early training as an architect supported the careful rendering of the city’s buildings and all their details. Included in the exhibit are some of Landeck’s early prints as well as his later, architectural scenes, like Manhattan Rooftop in the Moonlight, created in 1980.

Join us in celebration of Andrew Flight with “Reflections and Light” at the Jeanne Horan Gallery at Ventress Memorial Library, February 28 – April 18. Opening Reception on Friday, March 6 from 5:30-7:30pm – We hope to see you there!

Artist Statement:

“The relationship between light and shadow has always been an important part of my painting. Capturing the shape of a shadow or the subtle change in a tone can bring an image to life. Negative space and the changes created by light are what form the composition. Reflections are another aspect of this relationship and can be found throughout nature and in everyday objects. My eye has always been drawn to the distorted or nearly mirror-like effect of the optical illusions. “

What a little sandpaper and chalk can do

Artist’s Statement
When my family and I moved to Duxbury Massachusetts from Chicago, I was stunned by the beauty that abounds here. I would like to inspire local residents to marvel at the colors all around them that they might take for granted, whether it be an old mailbox, shadows on the beach, or a cranberry harvest in progress. My chosen medium is soft pastel on 400 grit sanded paper although I’ve worked in watercolor and acrylic.
It has been a particular joy to see my daughter Caitlin using her artistic talents in many ways – she chooses a subject and figures out how to turn it into a creative and beautiful gift for someone. Her results are amazing!

Artist Statement:
Now becomes then, moments become memories, but in the moment: the weight of emotions, the dynamics of our relationships to others, and the places we inhabit hold such solidity, it’s hard to realize we are forever falling into the past and slipping into the future.
As these moments pass by, I catch the now with meditation and focus, my interpretation solidifies in oil paint on canvas, and is delivered to future viewers: a moment in time and its timelessness.

A Solo Exhibition:
“What Remains Unsaid”
A collection of figurative drawings by Robert Brodesky

Opening Reception on Friday, March 13 from 6-8 PM
Exibition: March 13 – April 25, 2026
Enjoy the latest paintings by Robert Brodesky in a solo exhibition in the Concert Hall. Featuring a collection of large figurative paintings by the artist.
Robert P. “Bob” Brodesky, an artist based in the Boston-area, has been painting all his life. He specializes in figurative painting in an expressionistic style, rendered in oils, paint stick or pastels on canvas, paper, and wood. He likes working big––a surface big enough to allow him to be expansive, and physical.
Brodesky’s work features human figures captured in a particular instant, a pivotal moment when something changes. The viewer is invited to participate, enter the moment, and offer his or her own take on the situation and where it might lead. His style––expressive and gestural––focuses on the dynamics of human relationships, and is drawn from his own personal experience.
