ART AT THE CAVE
Invites you to view an extension of our March exhibits,
Couples: The Dance Between
and
Lost Mythologies,
featuring paintings by
Anne John
,
Michael Smith
and
Mike Southern
and animations by
Rose Bond.
These shows speak to the relationships we have with each other and with our environment. Not only did we want to extend their presence online, but they seem especially relevant today, in light of our new circumstances.
This also seems like a great time to experiment with digital engagement. We'll be posting to our
Facebook
and
Instagram
pages on Friday evening, and hope that you'll join us by following, liking, commenting and sharing with us and one another.

Along with showing some of her original pieces, we will also be displaying some of Edi’s Giclée Unique Originals. Giclée Unique Originals are a fine art print that is personally embellished with more oil paint by the artist.

Thank you for your support!

BURNT BRIDGE CELLARS
Lynn Nadal paints with acrylics, ink, collage, and colored pencil. Acrylic mediums provide rich texture and layered surfaces that invite you to lean in for a closer look. She uses a jigsaw to cut wood shapes to extend paintings beyond the frame of the square or rectangular surface and
often includes tiny figures, plants, and animals in the details to draw the viewer in for a closer look.
Her work is layered with watchful dogs, birds, and whimsical figures reflecting the many levels of dreams, imagination, and waking life we inhabit in a day.
Thomas Merton says, “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.”
Lynn comments:
"The artist Keith Haring inspired me with his lively graphic images.
His dogs were guardians in an era that feared the nuclear age.
My dogs are watchdogs reminding me to enjoy the present moment, rather than worry about the past or future.”

ESTHER BUILDING ART SPACE
Christopher Luna and Toni Lumbrazo Luna are poets, artists, partners and collaborators. At the Esther Building they are showing their mixed media photo collages of photography depicting street art. The images show chalk drawings and graffiti taken during the couple's travels. They speak to the very human need to leave our mark in the world. Mounted on found wood, the photos have a feeling of being aged and worn. Devoid of information about where the images were taken, the photos become universal.
Exhibited alongside the photos are a selection of colleges by Christopher Luna that are artfully arranged and include bits of text that allude to his poetry.

bits
Noah Matteucci’s colorful woodblock prints are created with small interchangeable blocks of wood, carefully arranged, inked, and printed multiple times to create a rich layered image. The squares are laid out in a grid pattern, the colors appear to be gently vibrating and the shimmering.
Matteucci’s art references pixels and glitches. By taking those mundane aspects of our digital life and framing them large and lovely, Matteucci draws our attention to the beauty in the intricacy of the images we consume everyday.
