This week we're presenting 6 Bridges Gallery, New Bedford Whaling Museum and Concord Art.
Even the most solitary of pursuits can have moments where collaboration improves the end product. Art is no different. This week's exhibitions spotlight artists who work symbiotically with technology, with other people and those whose work builds off of other artists.
Download the Artscope Magazine App to get the complete experience for our January / February 2024 issue. Available now.

Rock, Paper, Lichen at 6 Bridges Gallery
in Maynard, Massachusetts through February 24

6 Bridges Gallery presents Rock, Paper, Lichen, a show that combines the talents of Joyce McJilton Dwyer and Natalie MacKnight in one exhibition that highlights nature's often overlooked features - rocks and lichen. McJilton "loves the look of lichens" and brings that love to her watercolor paintings of the world's groundcover. MacKnight, meanwhile, is fascinated by the "fusion of dynamic energy and quiet contemplation" in rocks and boulders which she shows in gouache paintings of stones. Both artists have a symbiotic relationship, much like lichen and rocks need each other to thrive. The gallery is open Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. 6 Bridges Gallery is located at 77 Main Street, Maynard, NH. For more information, please visit here. | |

Framing the Domestic Sea: Photographs by Jeffery C. Becton at New Bedford Whaling Museum
in New Bedford, Massachusetts through May 5

New Bedford Whaling Museum presents Framing the Domestic Sea: photographs by Jeffery C. Becton, a show that highlights the work of Maine-based artist Jeffery C. Becton whose work is inspired by the history of New England, maritime scenes and contemporary ecological issues. His work, digital montages of coastal scenes and New England views, is printed on aluminum and evokes a surreal, dream-like quality that is simultaneously unsettling and - for those who call New England home - very familiar. The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. New Bedford Whaling Museum is located at 18 Johnny Cake Hill, New Bedford MA. For more information, please visit here. | |

Concord Art presents Lizzie Abelson + Alet Zielhuis, a show that puts the work of artists Lizie Abelson and Alet Zielhuis on full display. Abelson, a New England native, has followed a path that led her from magazine illustration to her current work depicting liminal spaces that are isolating, foreign yet intimately familiar with muted colors and stark lines. Zielhuis, who grew up in the Netherlands returned to art later in life and explores life drawing, using what she learned from her time at the MFA and MassArt. The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Sunday from 12 to 4 p.m. Concord Art is located at 37 Lexington Rd., Concord MA. For more information, please visit here. | |
