SUMMARY:Annex - Erika Larskaya
DESCRIPTION:PORTALS\nOpening Reception: June 23\, 6-8 PM\nFor her current exhibition\, Portals\, Erika Larskaya presents selected works from various series. Each work shares the common theme of opening to alternate spaces; spaces in parallel existence to this moment. Each painting is its own invitation to explore beyond the surface and enter into an invisible\, subtle\, and unexpressed territory\, where complexity\, impermanence\, and the mental struggle to balance emotional weight are present and where opposites can complement each other in dynamic coexistence.\nErika Larskaya of Torrington Connecticut is an abstract artist working in acrylics and mixed media. She is originally from St. Petersburg\, Russia. Erika brings a passion for experimentation and pushing boundaries to her work which has driven her to expand beyond the conventional. She has evolved her own methodology and technique – driven by her desire to express things that are not seen but rather felt.\n  \nGallery Open: \nFridays 6-8 PM \nSaturdays: 4-8 PM \nSundays 1-4 PM \nand open by appointment \n

SUMMARY:West Gallery - Debra Weisberg
DESCRIPTION:The work of Debra Weisberg will be featured in the new exhibit\, Holding the Center Still: Redux. Comprising collaged paper works and a large-scale floor installation\, Weisberg’s richly dense body of work touches on the profound relationship between collapse and renewal. The work exposes the highly vulnerable nature of paper as a transparent and fragile medium that is also surprisingly enduring and sturdy. \nDuring the opening reception and final day of the show\, Brazilian choreographer\, Paula Higa\, will perform an interpretive dance in response to Weisberg’s work on June 9 at 7 pm and July 15 at 5 pm respectively. Higa’s performance adds a human element to the chaotic paper landscape\, connecting the visual and haptic senses to the materiality of the work. \nThis exhibition is supported in part by a grant from the Somerville Arts Council\, a local agency supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council – Funding is also provided by the University of Vermont\, College of Arts and Sciences.

SUMMARY:East Gallery - A View of Humanity
DESCRIPTION:East Gallery – A View of Humanity \nKaren Bonanno\, Camille Eskell\, Jennifer Knaus\, Gerald Saladyga \nThis group exhibition bridges a variety of styles of painting and sculpture that highlight the figure as the main subject and speaks to the many viewpoints and representations of identity that make up humanity. \n  \nKaren Bonanno’s expressive paintings highlight interactions between the female figure and the empowerment of women. The paintings depict scenes from everyday life\, focusing on interactions between the subject and their environment. Bonanno’s bold color\, gestures\, and mark making represent the strong\, confident\, and iconic female figure. \n  \nCamille Eskell’s Intricate textile sculptures examine cultural and family dynamics in relation to her Iraqi-Jewish heritage\, with themes of vulnerability\, rebirth\, gender relationships\, and social conventions.  Eskell states\, “I tackle the impact of this social and psychological legacy mainly through a feminist lens.” The crafting of each piece is meticulous\, time-consuming\, and process-driven using a range of materials and techniques\, both traditional and contemporary. \n\nJennifer Knaus’ imaginary portraits draw inspiration from surrealist subconscious thought. Her acute attention to detail idealizes notions of beauty and importance that are embellished with humor and absurdity as entire gardens grow from her figures’ heads. \n\nGerald Saladyga’s stylized paintings combine a flattened sense of perspective\, along with the repetition of objects and characters.  Saladyga states\, “It could be said that I “don’t paint” a painting\, but construct it from the bottom of the canvas upwards using various widths of tape to define the prescribed edges and shapes using a particular color scheme until completion.” His paintings also combine contemporary and historic war imagery\, as seen in his painting Two Saints Visit the Ukraine.

SUMMARY:TDP Gallery - Nikko Sedgwick
DESCRIPTION:This series of mixed-media works is a meditation on the passage of time\, morality\, memory\, and interpersonal relationships. Sedgwick deconstructs and excavates his images revealing many layers. He melts the photo emulsion using various solvents as a way to paint within the photographs; he then combines various mediums including paint\, ink\, glitter\, and collaged materials to evoke an animation or aura within the image. Sedgwick states\, “Nothing makes our passage through time resonate with as much immediacy than seeing our children\, parents and loved ones being born\, aging and dying around us.” This manifestation of “life” within the images contradicts our conventional notions of a photograph distilling a moment in time.

SUMMARY:Victor Leger - Skyscapes - Five Points Gallery
DESCRIPTION:East Gallery – Solo Exhibition \nVictor Leger is a realist painter whose Plein-air paintings capture the contrast between deep space and the high detail of the environment. His intention is to express with obsessive accuracy the natural beauty of our surroundings. Leger states “through my work I hope to capture and convey the sense of overwhelming enchantment that these moments produce\, sometimes with philosophical ruminations.” \n  \nArtist Statement: \nAs a painter\, I am intuitively interested in the interaction of light with the environment. It is my intention to express with obsessive accuracy the natural beauty found\, at times only for a fleeting moment\, in our surroundings. Through my work\, I hope to capture and convey the sense of overwhelming enchantment that these moments produce\, sometimes with philosophical ruminations. If the viewer can sense the quality of natural beauty that enhances our lives then I will have succeeded in my efforts as an artist. Peace.

SUMMARY:Nature Triumphs - Five Points Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Nature Triumphs is a group exhibition that features a range of styles and mediums and is based on human interactions within the environment and how people interact with and ultimately manipulate\, interfere with\, or alter nature. Featuring artists Leora Armstrong\, Aaron Borkowski\, Loren Eiferman\, Lisa Kellner & Scott Schuldt. \n  \nLeora Armstrong is an interdisciplinary artist whose mixed media works depict ice erasure\, a consequence of human interactions on the environment. This multi-paneled installation of cyanotype on silk creates a sensorial experience of place. Armstrong navigates this fragility of place embracing the erasures\, marks\, rhythms\, and movement in both the physical experience as well as the sounds and solitude of the place. \n  \nAaron Borkowski\, although new to artmaking\, Borkowski has been surrounded by the arts his entire life. His abstract photography uses digital manipulations to duplicate and manipulate or alter the viewer’s perception of the natural world – creating repeated kaleidoscope-like patterns. The viewer begins to analyze the images dissecting the familiarity of the animate and inanimate objects he photographs. \n  \nLoren Eiferman’s sculptures portray the impact humans have had on the ecosystem. Building sculptures made from manipulated wood scraps and branches\, Eiferman constructs whimsical botanical forms that would appear to have been naturally grown. Her work also speaks to the primal desire to touch nature. In her series Nature Will Heal\, Eiferman collects detritus found in the environment to create “seeds” of a yet-to-exist plant form; repurposing and transforming what was once waste into a new flowering structure. \n  \nLisa Kellner explores the reluctant yet habitual collaboration of humans and nature. Her large oil paintings reflect on perceptions of space\, not only its physical attributes but also its memories. Paired with small sculptures created out of paint and collected detritus\, the work references nature in its current state: bold\, untamed\, and embedded with human interactions and interventions. \n  \nScott Schuldt is a multidisciplinary artist working with a wide variety of themes including the environment and natural sciences. Intricately hand-beaded and hand-sewn\, the works in this exhibition document the environment and intellectually and emotionally explore the idea of wilderness and mankind’s often counter-productive relationship with nature.

SUMMARY:SIX PAINTINGS - John Keefer
DESCRIPTION:John Keefer’s paintings are large\, dramatic\, and beautifully rendered metaphoric representations of the artist’s inner turmoil with the current social and political affairs from around the world.  Keefer pessimistically states\, “My paintings are me being dragged kicking and screaming into a meaningless present.” The paintings depict overwhelming distress\, as ships on open seas erupt in flames as muddled\, muted pallets of smoke become the focal point. The viewer begins to wonder who or what are on these ships? Is it a battle or an accident? \nJohn Keefer does not maintain a CV or record of exhibitions\, though he has exhibited his work widely\, and is also part of many private and public collections including the Five Points Arts Center. \nSix Paintings \n \n

SUMMARY:GLASSHOUSE OF IMMIGRANTS - Jill Enfield
DESCRIPTION:“…this ever-evolving diversity challenges the idea of a single dominant vision of the American identity\, encouraging Americans to embrace inclusion and pluralism.” – Ellis Island Museum. \n  \n  \n“The New Americans” is a physical display of heritage\, genealogy\, and homeland. My paternal relatives fled to America in the 1930s from Frankfurt\, Germany. I was brought up by immigrants and wanted to create a project that honored immigrants’ integral role in our society while simultaneously representing the hardships they still experience to this day. \n  \nI am intrigued by how both traditional and digital photographic practices make their mark on the creative process. I combined 19th-century wet collodion ambrotypes with digital scanning and 21st-century printing. Collodion\, and the distressed exterior window frames that hold the glass photographs and make up the glasshouse. The windows were found on abandoned side roads\, flea markets\, and construction sites. \n  \nThe collodion references the same technique used to record immigrants who traveled through Ellis Island in the 1800s. By fusing the elements of old and new\, I created portraits that reflect both historic technique and the reality of contemporary existence\, which unfortunately parallels that of some of the first immigrants. A glasshouse was made from antique windows and portraits. The distressed exterior echoes current adversity and is a ghostly homage to past immigrants. My goal was to communicate concepts of heritage and immigrant hardship in tangible form by utilizing the original process in which immigrants were photographically documented. \n  \nPhotography relies on the balance of time and light to bring visual elements to the surface. The wet collodion process requires long exposures\, so each subject must sit still for 45 to 60 seconds. The viewer should experience what I heard and saw during that time-lapse.  It is in that stillness that the narrative journey begins for the photographer\, and ultimately the viewer. It is in that silence\, that the viewer becomes the listener. Within my sitter’s face\, I saw the generations that have gone before and those yet to come and want the viewer to be moved by the same emotions that I am moved by as I am taking the portrait. These photos seek to capture the far-reaching heritage and stories encoded in the eyes of each of my subjects. \n  \nOnce the final 7’ x 7’ x 7’ glasshouse is assembled\, visitors can walk through and around it to experience the transparent portraits from different angles. Shadows of people walking around the house are visible in the interior and exterior so it becomes a moving experience for immigrants past and present.  The glasshouse is an interactive piece in that people can walk around and through it\, creating different shadows for the viewers’ experience. In addition\, they can take their time and look at each glass window on an individual level to understand the diversity that makes up the house and our country. If you removed one panel the house would fall. \n  \nThe old adage; “Those in glass houses should not throw stones” resonates as one looks into the eyes of the New Americans to realize that we are all immigrants; it is this understanding and awareness of heritage and history that is key to a more empathetic and compassionate future. \n  \n  \n  \nJILL ENFIELD \nJILL@JILLENFIELD.COM \nWWW.JILLENFIELD.COM \n917-518-7043 \n  \n3-minute video on installation of glasshouse: \nwww.youtube.com/watch?v=3Afr1qnxDLA

SUMMARY:The Botanical Tyranny Dollhouse- Jane Rainwater
DESCRIPTION:Jane Rainwater Artist’s statement: \nMy work is beautiful and ugly. People are often attracted to the aesthetics of an image or object that stimulates desire. Decorative objects are collected and exhibited in the home as status symbols of affluence and refinement. My work engages the viewer with its seemingly innocent decorative delight; yet upon closer examination the work challenges and questions our attraction by revealing darker truths. I explore the hidden cost inherent in most of what we find seductively attractive with my drawings\, installations\, sculptures and videos. \n  \nJane Rainwater Short Bio: \nJane Rainwater grew up in Westport\, CT and currently lives in Andover\, CT.  She teaches art and design at several colleges and universities in Connecticut. She is also the owner of Rainwater Design. She holds a MFA from The Art Institute of Boston\, and a BFA from The Hartford Art School. Jane Rainwater received a Radius Emerging Artist Fellowship from The Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art in Ridgefield\, CT. Jane has exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the country. \n  \nwww.rainwaterdesign.com \nwww.botanicaltyranny.blogspot.com \nwww.goldmastersthesis.blogspot.com \nrainwaterdesign@comcast.net \n860-331-7842 \n  \nThe Botanical Tyranny Dollhouse \n \n

SUMMARY:Drawn To Code Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:TDP Gallery \nGene Gort – Drawn To Code \nGene Gort utilizes computer programming as a means to produce “drawings”. The images generated from computer code create animations\, data visualizations\, and digital prints. Gort writes\, “I am drawn to the concepts of interactivity\, repetition\, variability\, and unpredictability that the process allows.” The exhibition will feature both digital and printed drawings. In addition\, the exhibition includes an ongoing project titled Weather or Not: Current Conditions\, commissioned by Five Points Arts for permanent installation at the new Art Center and as an online web project. The project utilizes real time weather data collected from a weather tower located on the Art Center property\, which Gort reimagines into a live data visualization. The weather project was made possible by a grant from Thomaston Savings Bank. \nJune 24 – July 30\, 2022 \nGallery Hours: Tuesday – Saturday 11AM – 5PM & Sunday 1PM – 5PM

SUMMARY:Red Sky in Morning Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:East Gallery \nKasey Ramirez – Red Sky In Morning \nKasey Ramirez’s drawings and prints explore the tension between stability and impermanence. Ramirez states\, “In my drawings and prints\, buildings become a stand-in for humans\, a metaphor for man-made efforts to create shelters that are ultimately vulnerable to environmental extremes.” Ramirez’s charcoal drawings depict skeletal structures which contain a sense of rise and collapse\, of construction and disintegration that mirrors the precarious state in which humans find themselves in the twenty-first century. \nJune 24 – July 30\, 2022 \nGallery Hours: Tuesday – Saturday 11AM – 5PM & Sunday 1PM – 5PM

SUMMARY:Dendrites Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:West Gallery: Balam Soto & Mary Anne McCarthy \nBalam Soto and Mary Ann McCarthy are both inspired by the Greek word dendrites\, which refers to trees found in nature and also to neurons in the human brain that resemble trees; however\, their approaches to artmaking are vastly different. McCarthy’s intricate silverpoint drawings of nature and trees highlight the everlasting power of traditional art making. Soto’s interactive cube sculpture uses video\, light and the effect of active human presence to celebrate art’s everchanging capacity to influence how we think about ourselves and the world around us. \nJune 24 – July 30\, 2022 \nGallery Open: Tuesday – Saturday 11AM – 5PM & Sunday 1PM – 5PM

SUMMARY:Nayana Lafond: Portraits in RED\, Missing & Murdered Indigenous People Painting Project
DESCRIPTION:Nayana LaFond’s solo exhibition in the East Gallery will feature powerful portraits related to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls/People. \nNayana LaFond was the winner of the 2021 Five Points Juried Exhibition\, granting her a solo exhibition in Five Points Gallery. Her winning piece\, Kimberly in RED\, selected by juror Joseph Fucigna\, was part of an ongoing series titled Portraits in RED which catalogs Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls/People (MMIWG/P). LaFond states: “I was very aware of the MMIWG/P epidemic and movement to raise awareness about it. I was struck by one Facebook selfie in particular and reached out to request the use of the image for a painting.” Nayana’s Project now features over 70 portraits of real victims\, survivors\, and activists from all over North America. LaFond’s solo exhibition will feature a selection of portraits and their stories.

SUMMARY:Native Voices
DESCRIPTION:The Native Voices group exhibition honors the talent\, history\, and voices of Indigenous artists and artists with indigenous lineage from across North America working with various content and media. \nParticipating artists include Nate Begay\, Patrick Collins\, Rebekah Jarvey\, and Jason Montgomery.  \nNate Begay \nUsing his history with graffiti art\, Begay incorporates bright\, bold colors\, often using spray paint markers in his paintings. He blends new styles with old-school imagery and symbols. Begay likes to vary his subject matter and incorporate important Navajo figures and animals into the paintings. Begay uses his artwork as a storytelling and teaching implement to educate viewers on Navajo identity and culture. \nPatrick Collins \nCollins’ intricately drawn pastel portraits use bright colors that reflect the beauty of his culture while capturing the iconic personalities of his subjects. His paintings also emphasize the many issues Native Americans struggle with\, in contemporary society. Collins adds cultural symbols and metal leafing to highlight the stories told through the Anishinaabe (Original People).  \nRebekah Jarvey \nRebekah Jarvey is a self-proclaimed indigenous fashionista. Her Art/Fashion career took off during the pandemic after her Flashy Night & Day mask went viral on social media attracting people and publications from around the world. She mixes traditional tribal heritage with her crafting skills and the fashions of today to create modern\, urban\, and authentic masks and ribbon skirts with her signature hashtag #RibbonDrip. Jarvey’s goal is to convey to the Indigenous community the importance of knowing their families’ customs and traditions.  \nJason Montgomery \nJason’s work engages the cross-section of identity\, cultural hybridization\, post-colonial reconstruction\, and political agency. His writing and visual art bridge the aesthetics and feel of the early cubist collage movement and the Russian abstract movement of the 1920s with living and historical Native/Indigenous Californian and Chicano art traditions.

SUMMARY:Real and Imagined
DESCRIPTION:Five Points Gallery\, located at 33 Main St. in downtown Torrington\, presents Real & Imagined\, an exhibition in the West and TDP Galleries\, featuring five artists from across the state and region. \n  \nWhen: February 18\,  – March 26\, 2022  \nOpening Reception: Friday\, February 18\, 5:00 – 8:00p.m.  \n  \nReal & Imagined explores dualities in the relationships of patterns and colors from the natural and imagined worlds. \nTamara Dimitri’s work speaks to the variations of the environments she’s lived in throughout her life. Drawing from the history of these regions\, she creates organic branch-like sculptures maintaining an awareness of the human footprint on our land\, water systems\, and atmosphere. She combines traditional and recycled materials such as old texts from geology books and wire. Her work reflects a new world\, created from pieces of our own. \nNancy Hayes\, of South Dartmouth\, Mass. creates intricately painted worlds of an imagined location\, speaking to how her brain organizes space\, pattern\, color\, and form. She depicts highly organized ecosystems where each part is dependent on the whole while going deeper into its texture and biology. \nSusan Sharp’s assemblage series is composed of interconnected panels of different sizes\, color and in some cases different depths and shapes. Exploring Duality\, themes are organic and geometric. Colors are intense and mute\, pieces are large and small; all exist in a world that is constantly adjusting and moving.  \nLisa Warren’s Galaxy Garden paintings combine elements both abstract and representational. She creates elements of swirling pattern\, texture\, and color and her use of shapes or color in different dots and dashes emphasizes the emotional communication we all encounter in our own heads when exploring the world and our relationships –  as if seeing a garden within a galaxy. \nJoan Wheeler creates a conversation about the world that we live in and the relationship between humans and their environments throughout history and today. Featuring a focus on flora and fauna\, the undeniable blending of humans and nature can be found in her textile work. \n

SUMMARY:Remembering Ground Zero: 20th Anniversary Show
DESCRIPTION:Remembering Ground Zero \nAugust 19th – September 25th\, 2021 \nOpening Reception: Friday\, August 20\, 6 pm \nVirtual Artist talk: Friday September 10\, 6:00PM \nFive Points Gallery\, 33 Main Street\, Torrington\, CT 06790 \n  \nRemembering Ground Zero: 20th Anniversary Show is a retrospective exhibition that remembers September 11th through paintings and art work that recall both the time before the towers’ fall—the halcyon days that documented a moment in time of clouds dancing across the sky over the city below in all its variations of form and light—and the collective shock and pain of the aftermath of the fall\, when the world tilted on its axis and a new sort of chaos emerged.  \n World Views\, a pilot artist residency program was launched by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC) in 1997-98. Nineteen artists were selected by Graham Nickson\, Dean of the New York Studio School\, to make art in the north tower of the World Trade Center. Over the four years that preceded September 11\, 2001\, 130 artists of varied disciplines participated in the program. Each artist used their medium of choice to interpret and document the view of Manhattan with its ever changing weather\, light and patterns. \nI was a member of this extraordinary pilot program\, where I made art in a 10\,000-square-foot space on the 91st floor. When conceptualizing the show\, the first artist I contacted was a fellow studio mate\, Torild Stray\, at her home in Norway.  Not only did she agree to be in the show\, but she became my collaborator and co-curator of art work done by participants in the World Trade Center residency program\, as well as those who have made art about the fall of the Twin Towers or in response to 911 as a pivotal point in history from a broad world view.   \nIt has been over twenty years since the World Views artists\, from their perches on the upper floors of the majestic towers\, painted views from a perspective framed by windows on the world—a perspective that no longer exists. Through the lens of the windows of the World Trade Center we remember the time before and after 911. \nDon Bracken\, July 2021  \nArtists include: Don Bracken\, Susan Crile\, Charlotte Ghiorse\, Pamela Lawton Gwinn Loman\, Torild Stray \n“ Return of a View ” a short-documentary (12.44min) by Eivind Tolaas ( Norway) about a picture made in the Twin Towers 1997-98 will be showing in the gallery. \n  \nBracken and Stray will give ongoing tours of the exhibition the first weekend of the show and by appointment the following weeks. \nPlease contact the Gallery Director to set up a tour\, Karl Goulet kgoulet@fivepointarts.org

SUMMARY:It's All About Process
DESCRIPTION:West Gallery \nJohn Gintoff | Eleanor Sabin | Max Seinfeld | Kevin Van Aelst \n\n\n\n\nThe group exhibition\, It’s All About Process\, features work by artists John Gintoff\, Eleanor Sabin\, Max Seinfeld & Kevin Van Aelst. Although their concepts and visions are different\, each of the artists in this exhibition present a unique approach to process and alternative use of media and compositional elements. Photography is often a straightforward and traditional way to capture how we experience moments; however\, John Gintoff challenges how the viewer perceives traditional photography by using photographic prints to create three-dimensional sculptural forms. Kevin Van Aelst also plays with a reimagining of traditional photography. His layered digital process deals with the malleability of our notions of truth and memory. Van Aelst states\, “The work aims to examine the relationship between photography\, reality and memory and is a contemplation of memory itself”. Eleanor Sabin’s work explores the conflicts between the man-made and natural world. Her process of creating layered detailed pen and ink drawings of the natural world are then disrupted by saturated airbrushed color\, bold geometric patterns and lines creating new tensions of space. Max Seinfeld’s sculptures also play with tensions through contrasting materials\, color and form. His small sculptures’ interplay of solid vs. seemingly liquid forms allows for a sensation of a lingering touch or inching grip. The interaction of natural and artificial colors in Seinfeld work are drawn from observations in contemporary media\, such as the allure of a red Cadillac versus the natural colors of the raw materials. \n  \n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Two Stories | Erin Koch Smith
DESCRIPTION:East Gallery \nErin Koch Smith’s exhibition\, Two Stories\, draws from two bodies of work that utilize imaginative narratives and stories to build a language for experience that cannot be expressed in a different way. One narrative features the imaginary heroics of a lamp trapped inside a psychological landscape built out of memories\, which is based on Philip Guston’s 1974 painting\, “Lamp”. The wildly whimsical paintings create new logics and narratives using the physicality of the paint as part of the storytelling process. Smith states she is\, “interested in the ways words can fail\, and how painting and drawing can fill the gap.” In her other works on exhibit\, Smith searches for form within her compositions using memories and representations of her childhood emphasizing personal wants and desires. The paintings can also be seen to reflect fears of growing older\, the cloudiness of middle life and the pressures of creating a home.

SUMMARY:It's Today | Will Holub
DESCRIPTION:TDP Gallery \n\n\n\n\nWill Holub’s exhibition\, It’s Today\, explores issues of chance and recognition with textural abstract paintings that have fragmented photographic imagery randomly arrayed across their surfaces. Made using a variety of approaches\, and with materials such as card stock\, C- prints and transfer images\, they address not only the consequences of image fracturing\, but also provide encouraging evidence of the strengthening aspects of reconstruction. \nAfter three decades of experimentation with the tactile properties of paper as a low-relief material on the surfaces of his paintings\, Holub continues to investigate how and why haptic art first establishes a “felt\,” rather than a simply “seen\,” connection with viewers. \nWill Holub was the winner of the 2020 Five Points Small Works exhibition juried by Power Boothe. \n\n\n\n\n  \n
