SUMMARY:Opening Reception for Peter Brown: Disguises - Put Up Your Hands
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Friday\, July 21 from 6-8 PM – Free and Open to the Public \nEast Gallery – Disguises: Put Up Your Hands \nPeter Brown  \nThis series of Pinhole and flatbed scanner images portray perceptions /memories from a past personal traumatic episode in Peter’s life\, an armed home invasion. The characters and scenes depict notions of innocence\, violence\, anger\, dismay\, PTSD\, despair\, vengeance\, violation\, and justice. This menagerie of elements – color negative film\, lensless cameras\, Pinhole lenses\, all come together to form these very personal images. Brown goes on to state\, “And to further push this imagery into the public perceptions as a national debate\, we need to address the growing ease of gun violence\, disparity of wealth and race throughout this country.”

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Five Points Launchpad Biennial
DESCRIPTION:Opening reception Friday\, July 21 from 6-8 PM\n\nWest & TDP Galleries – Launchpad Biennial\nDaniel Baird Miller\, Christian Crowley\, Casandra Cyr\, Kyrsten Lane\, Ethan Newman\, Sydney Samele\, and Megan Victoria. \nThe Five Points Launchpad was formed in partnership with the University of Hartford\, Hartford Art School in an answer to the growing needs of art school graduates\, and to encourage the cross-pollination of ideas. The Launchpad offers participants access to affordable shared studio spaces above Five Points Gallery\, free access to the Five Points Arts Center\, a serious arts community\, mentorships\, and exhibition opportunities.\n \nDaniel Baird-Miller \nUsing a variety of old cameras and film\, Dan creates alternatively processed photographs that combine cyanotype chemistry with hand-drawn details. Centered around his posthumous relationship with his father\, he layers together vague memories\, in an attempt to seek answers. \n  \nChristian Crowley \nCrowley’s large\, abstract\, and energetic mixed-media paintings combine color\, text\, and symbols in an intuitive\, unabashedly\, and thoughtful manner. When talking about his work he simply states\, “I am a vessel for creativity. I don’t like half-measures. I do not want art to be a part of my life… but my life to be a part of art.” \n  \nCasandra Cyr \nCasandra’s ominous pen and ink illustrations speak to the horror and fantasy enthusiast; creating a sense of fear and paranoia in both the subject and atmosphere of the drawings. Her eerie depictions of the fictional monster\, the “long-neck-man”\, are part of an ongoing graphic novel she is working on. \n\nKyrsten Lane \nKyrsten’s mixed media paintings incorporate bold saturated colors\, and organic line-work as a reflection of patterns she observes in nature. Using monochromatic palettes\, Lane’s use of color possesses a quality that can command attention or divert the gaze while her linework creates sculptural illusions. \n  \nEthan Newman \nEthan’s abstract expressionist paintings draw inspiration from his dreams and music influences. These layered gestural works oscillate between figuration and abstraction. Newman states\, “I’m interested in these glimpses\, and the feelings surrounding them\, and that is part of what I’m after in my creative process. In my attempt to re-create them\, however\, I often discover something completely new along the way.” \n  \nSydney Samele \nAs a printmaker\, Sydney works between drawing and intricately carved multiple woodblocks to create her prints. She is greatly inspired by mythologies from around the world. While the importance of mythology is not always clear\, these stories are rich in history\, culture\, and perspective. This series more specifically looks at flood mythos and transformations through water. \n\nMegan Victoria \nIn her ongoing Extraterrestrial Series\, Megan draws and paints chimera-like amalgamations that are inspired by the natural world\, including plants\, fungi\, animals\, and human anatomy. As the viewer draws their own narratives and questions around the origin of the figures\, one may wonder if they originate from reality or fantasy.
