Pat de Groot
November Wind, 2003
Oil on panel,
13 x 12 inches
|
| Pat de Groot’s recent paintings continue her examination of the effects of light on water. Painting at a table in her Provincetown studio facing Cape Cod bay, De Groot uses a palette knife and oil paint directly from the tube to capture the immediate physicality of the weather conditions on the day each work was conceived. The minimal elements of her reductive seascapes hold endless fascination for de Groot: “there are all kinds of days from dense fog to blinding dazzle to blizzard to all gray…It is an awesome spectacle out there, each day more spectacular than the last. I want to grab a piece of this sacred place and say something with paint about the sea, sky, and the horizon and how it affects me.” |

Doug Bosch
Static V, 2004
Graphite and cotton,
9 x 15 x 6 inches
|
| Also on view are a selection of new sculptural objects and drawings by
Doug Bosch. Working with such evanescent matter as pollen, graphite, and raw pigment, Bosch, like a modern day alchemist, orders his materials into piles, stacks and grouped collections. "It is within this increase of multiples, whether a molecular particle or an invented one, that I find deep satisfaction and affirmation of the physical world. My works have their origins in fundamental experimentation….At times the experimentation leads to conceptualized work and at other times it is the residue left by experimentation which itself becomes the work.” |
