ETHER CREATURE, a solo exhibition of works by Charlotte Segall, curated by Greenpoint Gallery Director Shawn James.

Opening: Thursday, Sept 14, 2023, 7-11pm

Greenpoint Gallery is pleased to present ETHER CREATURE, a solo exhibition of paintings and drawings by Brooklyn-based artist Charlotte Segall. Curator Shawn James explains, “Segall’s works exist between two realms. There is the realm we know, the tangible and familiar, and then there is something else that beckons us in. We don’t quite know what this other world holds, but we sense it moving, and we are sensitized to something inter-dimensional.”

Segall explains that she is “always trying to create a sense of dramatic event. The event itself is usually not clear, but it’s clear that the people and animals involved are invested. They are eager or entranced, curious, intentional, forceful, pleasured, exhausted, in danger, transcendent, transforming, noble, abject, and usually trying or have tried their absolute best. Each character is packed with its own hero’s journey. In this way, I offer up a life philosophy about what it feels like to pursue meaning and resonance. The ability to create impact is one definition of power— and empowerment is always being negotiated, both inside and out.”

You are invited on an odyssey through time and imagination, to discover the myths that form our collective unconscious. Uncanny symmetries emerge from the shadows of memory, illuminating timeless mysteries of our human nature. You may experience a dizzying sense of deja vu. Do not fear! Truth and beauty will be your guiding stars on this journey.
Born of the union between artist couple Richard T Scott and Jordan Baker, “Modern Mythos” summons the muses of the old masters to explore the liminal space between the orient and the occident, the coupling of stoic and Buddhist philosophy. Baker’s baroque still lives writhe with the haunting of Japanese nature spirits, blending the Dutch tradition of vanitas with Shinto meditations on the cycles of death and rebirth. Her alchemical compositions alloy the motif’s of Georgia O’Keefe and Rachel Ruysch, creating a startlingly contemporary atmosphere. Scott’s figurative paintings follow Charon’s ferry to the gates of Hades, convene with Medusa among the ruins of civilization, traverse the fall of the Roman Republic and foretell the future of our own Autumnal Empire.

Join us for a mythic evening November 8th from 6-9 PM at Stone Sparrow Gallery in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village. Mythic attire encouraged, but not mandatory. Your hosts will be in costume.

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.”

Lyme Art Association is proud to present New England Landscape in the Caddell, Cole, and Cooper/Ferry Galleries, juried by Charis J Carmichael Braun. This annual exhibition celebrates the rich and varied landscape of the East Coast, where nature's artistry unfolds in breathtaking beauty. Artists are encouraged to explore their connection to the land that surrounds them.

Rachel Sard: Insofar is a celebration of texture, luminosity, and transparency through painting. Rachel is fascinated by the slight imperfections and subtle tonal shifts in often overlooked objects. The subjects of Rachel’s work – a pile of stones, discarded onion peels, a mass of oyster shells – become vessels through which she can explore the optical qualities of paint, taking the slightest nuances of light to the furthest possible visible moment. In Insofar – her first museum exhibition - Rachel exposes the peculiar attributes of familiar subjects, such as the plum shades of a smooth pebble or the pocked surface of a rippled clam shell.
Rachel’s works are exhaustively detailed studies that feature densely packed subject matter bursting toward the edge of the canvas, pushing realism precariously close to abstraction. Her paintings encourage viewers to look closely and deliberately, revealing the artist’s subtle but purposeful brushstrokes. Rachel’s creative process is an exercise in stamina and precision, as she can take months to complete one painting, revisiting each canvas over time to make meticulous changes to her compositions.
Many of the works in Insofar were inspired by objects Rachel selected from the Stamford Museum’s natural history collection.... (Continued).

Through my oil paintings, I transform frustration into impactful expressions. The backdrop of my work captures the unsettling realities that confront us daily. Amidst the annoyance and disillusionment, I also seek inspirational stories worth preserving and enlightening future generations. Engaging viewers with interactive elements, I depict portraits and hands and feet doing mundane routines intertwined with the collages. At first glance, the figures may seem isolated, but upon closer inspection, the articles reveal themselves, urging viewers to delve deeper and confront uncomfortable truths. I intend to go beyond mere aesthetic appeal and create a lasting impact. With this unique approach, I aim to make a lasting difference and ignite a spark within each viewer, encouraging them to question, reflect, raise awareness, and, ideally, become involved in societal change.
