20 Odd Years at Fountain Street Fine Art
in Framingham, Massachusetts now through May 15
Michelle Albert's "Series 1-3" oil, encaustic, hair, toys, 12 x 12
Fountain Street Fine Art presents three alumni of the Massachusetts College of Art and Design who have strengthened their abilities as painters and strengthened their bonds of friendships since their undergraduate work in the early 1990's. Artists Michelle Albert, C. Clinton and Nicole Maynard-Sahar convey their experiences over the previous twenty years through their dedication to art. Though each artist has a unique style and conveys their experiences differently, the exhibit functions as a cohesive body of work in which the differences illuminate the individual artists technique and the content of the work unifies the pieces. The artists note the importance of perception on their work, with Clinton stating "The transformative power of light and water on our perception of the world, and the magical, often mysterious effects on what we see, are the elements I strive to embody in my work." Since their time at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design the individuals have continued their desire for knowledge and have become accomplished in a variety of mediums including printmaking, ceramics and digital art, featuring work in a variety of shows and being the recipients of several prestigious awards. Working with encaustic, acrylic, oil and mixed media, Albert, Clinton and Maynard-Sahar create distinct pieces reminiscent of experience and passion. 20 Odd Years is exhibited at Fountain Street Fine Art at 59 Fountain Street in Framingham, Massachusetts and runs through May 15, 2016 with a reception on April 30 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Urban Camera at deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum
in Lincoln, Massachusetts through September 11
Featured work from Urban Camera
Photography is celebrated at the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum with an exhibit featuring late artists Lotte Jacobi and Lisette Model. Urban Camera Photography includes street photography, portraits and experimental works by Jacobi and Lisette who worked from the 1930s through the 1950s. After emigrating from their own countries, Jacobi and Model discovered a passion for photography and found inspiration in Berlin, Paris and New York, where they lived for periods of time. The black and white photographs feature a variety of style that illuminate the artists' individuality. Jacobi transitioned from portraiture to abstract images and Model shot street photography and depicted prominent disparities in society. Jacobi's Untitled silver gelatin print has a more abstract, whimsical quality where Model's Blind Man in Front of Billboard, Paris reveals a much darker side of the city. Model's Reflections, Rockefeller Center, New York, exemplifies the risks and innovations the photographers took in their photography ultimately reshaping and revitalizing the medium. Organized by Helen Lewandowski, the exhibit is dedicated to the memory of beloved deCordova trustee, philanthropist and friend, Catherine S. England. Urban Camera Photography is on view now through September 11 at the Foster Galleries at the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum located at 51 Sandy Pond Road, Lincoln, Massachusetts. For more information call (781) 259-8355.

Land and Water by Phyllis Ewen at Lesley University
in Cambridge, Massachusetts now through May 7
Restless Sand 2 by Phyllis Ewen
It's no surprise that our planet is evolving at a faster pace than ever before. Climate change has affected the way in which we view resources and how we inhabit the Earth. Artist Phyllis Ewen illuminates New England's changing landscape in her most recent exhibit Land and Water at Lesley University College of Art and Design now through May 7. Ewen uses archival paper, including maps, charts and digitally printed photographs, in order to create 3-dimensional sculptures resembling landscapes. Representative of the way land is constantly changing, Ewen gives viewers a glimpse of the coasts of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Ewen notes, "The cape's coast has been changing over many years; the ocean pushes its bed onto the land, creating new heights, narrows, and breaks in existing dunes." Land and Water embodies this integral part of Cape Cod, and can be seen in Restless Sand 2 where Ewen uses sculptural digital print, paint and layering in order to create a complex piece manifesting the ever changing environment. Ewen's piece Liminal Break 1 looks similar to driftwood one would find along the beaches of the Cape, making the exhibit even more naturalistic and truthful to the environment we live in. With works reminiscent of landscapes, Land and Water focuses on the beauty of our planet while encouraging viewers to acknowledge our constantly changing environment and the effects on the surface of the earth. Phyllis Ewen's exhibit Land and Water is located in the Spotlight Gallery at the Lunder Arts Center, Lesley University College of Art and Design at 1801 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge. The exhibit runs through May 7.
