SUMMARY:Wood Relief Sculpture with David Holzman
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Information\nInstructor: David Holzman \nDates: Tuesdays\, October 19 – November 16 \nTime: 10 AM – 1 PM \nLocation: Five Points Arts Center Room 127 \nAges: 18+ \nClass Cap: 8 \nCost: $250 \n  \nEvent Link:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/wood-relief-sculpture-tickets-166831957877?aff=ebdsoporgprofile \n  \nWorkshop Description\nThis workshop offers a guide to developing a personal approach to wood relief sculpture. The focus is on relief carving as a versatile art making activity parallel to painting\, printmaking and sculpture. Participants will be able to work up a project using basic relief carving techniques. Tools provided. Safety procedures will be followed. Basswood will be available at cost. Emphasis will be placed on participants’ choice of approach: relief sculpture in a pictorial format; deep relief; relief in free-standing sculpture and architectural settings. All levels welcome. Participants should bring a sketchbook of ideas. \n  \nInstructor Bio\nDavid Holzman has recently retired from public school teaching after 34 years with the Simsbury Public Schools. Holzman continues to teach Design at CCSU. Having studied at Hartford Art School and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, Holzman developed a studio practice that integrates painting\, printmaking and sculpture in a converted garage near the banks of the Farmington river in Avon\, CT\, where he and his wife raised a family.. He began to make wood relief carvings more than 30 years ago\, while continuing his involvement with the woodcut novel format. His work was published in Art Spiegelman’s RAW comics anthology as well as Zero Zero from Seattle and he was a recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship. In his current work of the last ten years known as The Book of Umm\, Holzman seeks to revitalize the surrealist practice of automatic drawing as a wellspring of visual energy. Simultaneously\, he has imagined a monumental approach to carved relief sculpture that deploys the automatic process to the spontaneous fabrication of imagery.

No experience is required; this workshop is designed for beginners. \n  \nRequired Materials\nPlease click here for the materials list. \n  \nInstructor Bio\nGrowing up in a small town in New England\, illustrator and printmaker Erin Cunliffe found a love for making art very early in life. Cunliffe grew up reading picture books and watching cartoons with her older brother. The images she saw in her picture books left her mesmerized and sparked her creative career. Cunliffe has spent her time exploring mediums of all kinds ranging from traditional painting techniques and different forms of printmaking. She has also begun to illustrate digitally. Cunliffe has recently earned her MFA in illustration through Hartford Art School’s Low Residency MFA in Illustration program. Cunliffe draws inspiration from many places. Her influences include pop culture\, politics\, art history\, traveling\, and the stories she would make up as a child. Her style inspirations range from the animated films and shows she watched growing up in the 90s to Japanese woodblock prints and ink paintings.

SUMMARY:Virtual Artist Talk: Richter & Morris
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Artist Talk on Friday\, October 22nd\, at 6:00PM EST \nRegister for free at the following link: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-R7wORUqQjyv7aXrhwle-A \nModerated by Power Boothe. Power Boothe has exhibited his paintings for over four decades. His work is represented in numerous public and private collections and he teaches at the Hartford Art School. \nThe East Gallery features mixed media works by Scott Richter\, in his exhibition “A Melody of Things Unrelated” groups works from multiple series emphasizing the artist’s layered and thoughtful approach to process. The Sculptural works within this show are actually considered to be paintings in the artist’s mind. They are pieces are about painting – the process and its material\, yet avoiding the final product and its related aesthetics. Each piece comments on the repetitive nature of the painting process – building mountains of paint showing the layers and history of the process. Richter’s two dimensional work also speaks to the methodology of process by layering\, burying and revealing surfaces. \nSydney Morris’ solo exhibition “Nova”\, will exhibit her alternative process photographs in the TDP Gallery. The alternative processed photos are printed on cloth and presented in embroidery hoops – as a metaphor for the stars in the night sky. Morris notes that these pieces are unique in the fact that they are ever changing. Much like a nova\, their colors may change\, become brighter\, or slowly fade over time. The forms created in these pieces mirror celestial events through photographic alchemy to produce fluid\, saturated pieces infused with meaning.

SUMMARY:Layered Woodcut Workshop with Jim Lee
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Information\nDates: Saturdays\, October 23 – November 6 \nTime: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM \nLocation: Five Points Arts Center Print Lab \nAges: 18+ \nCost: $400 \nClass Cap: 8 \n  \nEvent Link: \nhttps://fivepointsarts.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/fivepointsarts/event.jsp?event=26& \n  \nWorkshop Description\nThis course will examine the bold and direct capabilities of woodcut and other relief print surfaces. It will take the student from preliminary sketches to the carving of blocks\, using the multiple block technique. By printing multiple layers of transparent inks\, images will develop with lush color relationships and luminous surfaces. We will work with color separation/registration\, carving with hand and power tools\, built-up surfaces\, color ink mixing\, and stencils. Monotype techniques will also be introduced and can be combined with the carved blocks. During the workshop students first develop a key block\, transfer the image to other blocks to carry various colors and then print small editions\, exploring color variations. Students should plan to arrive with several worked out compositions\, either representational or abstract. \nStudents do not need to have previous printmaking experience\, but this would certainly be an advantage. I can adapt this to any level of experience. \n  \nRequired Materials\nSee link here. \n  \nInstructor Bio\nJim Lee was born in Kansas and received a M.F.A. in printmaking from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1980. He taught printmaking\, drawing and book arts at the Hartford Art School/University of Hartford\, West Hartford\, CT from 1982 -2020.  \nLandscape is at the core of his work. He often begins a series with on-site drawings and watercolors\, and from these develops his color reduction woodcut prints. Recent work has been based on the west coast of Ireland\, Maine and Maritime Canada.  \n  \nA selection of Jim Lee’s recent exhibitions include:\n\nSolo: University of Alaska\, Anchorage\, AK-2019; Bromer Gallery\, Boston\, MA-2019; University of Wisconsin-Madison\, WI-2019; Five Points Gallery\, Torrington\, CT-2014; Group: Atlanta Print Biennial International Juried Exhibition\, Atlanta\, GA-2017; The Boston Printmakers International Biennial-2017; Imprint One\, National Invitational Print Exhibition\, Austin\, TX-2016; Stand Out Prints\, International Juried Print Exhibition\, Minneapolis\, MN\, 2016; Yinchuan Conversation: Chinese & American Printmakers\, Yinchuan Art Center\, Ningxia\, China-2016; IPCNY New Prints/Summer Show\, NY- 2014.  \nHis collections include: The Metropolitan Museum of Art\, The National Portrait Gallery\, The Getty Art Center\, The Wadsworth Athenaeum\, The Art Institute of Chicago\, The Museum of Fine Arts-Boston\, The Guangdong Museum of Fine Arts-Chongqing\, China\, The New York Public Library\, University of San Francisco\, and Bibliotheca Liborium Artificem\, Sydney\, Australia.

SUMMARY:Resilience: Honoring those lost\, those murdered\, and those who still search

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Bob Chaplin\, Susan Hoffman Fishman & Jennifer Sabella
DESCRIPTION:Join Five Points for a Virtual Artist Talk featuring artists Bob Chaplin\, Susan Hoffman Fishman & Jennifer Sabella on Friday\, December 03\, at 6:00PM. \n  \nModerated by artist Jessica Fallis. \n  \nREGISTER HERE\n  \nThe talk will give viewers a deeper look into the artists’ exhibitions\, their artistic process and general background in the arts. \n  \nBob Chaplin’s exhibition “Hortophilia” consists of concept drawings of his Woodland-Meadow Parterre installation on the grounds of Five Points Art Center in Torrington\, CT among other Parterre installations across the globe. Chaplin hopes to inspire a dialogue about the apparent chaos of nature and man’s preoccupation with trying to structure and tame the natural world. \n  \nSusan Hoffman Fishman’s paintings represent an abstract and liberal interpretation of what scientists have determined actually happened at the creation of the planet and for the billions of years that followed. The installation of 39 paintings on paper each measuring 30 inches by 15 inches are shown together as a running narrative that wraps the gallery walls. \n  \nJennifer Sabella’s exhibition consists of two bodies of work\, drip and landscape paintings. The vibrant drips or color stream paintings layer hues of gravity-driven paint in these large format\, striped paintings which vibrate with intensity. Her landscape paintings\, on the other hand\, are created through multiple layers of give and take; paint is excavated as she scrapes into the surfaces creating highly texturized\, rich surfaces imbuing an energy or life. \n  \nJessica Fallis is a Torrington\, CT based artist\, educator\, and writer. Her work explores themes related to the environment\, time\, and memory. Her work has been displayed throughout Connecticut\, including the New Britain Museum of American Art\, Five Points Gallery\, The Mystic Museum of Art\, and the West Hartford Art League. She is currently a member of the Five Points Launchpad in Torrington\, CT. Jessica is also a full time art teacher in West Hartford.

SUMMARY:Wonderfully Tactile Zoom Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nWonderfully Tactile\, an exhibition in all three gallery spaces\, featuring eight artists from across the state and region. The surfaces in this exhibition allude to the human haptic and optic senses. \nModerated by Ricardo Reyes. \nRIco is an artist\, a curator\, and a cultural theorist. His art employs the idioms of performance\, video\, and installation while addressing issues of ethnicity\, sexuality\, global politics\, and capitalist exploitation. His curating is focused on contemporary art from diasporic Filipino communities; mega-exhibitions and art fairs; photography and cultural regeneration\, and has curated exhibitions at UCLA Fowler Museum; SF MOMA Artist Gallery; University of the Pacific Reynolds Gallery; Thacher Gallery at the University of San Francisco; Queer Cultural Center; Asian Pacific Islander Cultural Center; SoMA Arts Center; and Michaela Gallery\, Remy’s at Temple Gallery\, Los Angeles; Puro Arte Gallery and Performance Space\, Los Angeles. \nRico received his BA in Sculpture from UC Berkeley and his MFA in New Genres from UCLA\, and his PhD from the Centre for Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths\, University of London. He has served on the board of Five Points since 2019. \nThe Artists: \nBecca Barolli’s sculptures are made of steel wire to assert the potential for strength in what is considered women’s work and vulnerability in what is associated with masculinity and industrialization. \nAdam Bernard applies a dot matrix to his abstract paintings using a piping bag\, in order to conflate a mechanical process with one of painterly intuition. \nAnn Finholt’s observations of the natural world are translated into gestural abstract oil pastel landscapes. \nMary Janacek is inspired by natural and unnatural disasters and how they affect the clouds in the atmosphere. \nStephen Maine tackles painting as he would relief-printmaking. Focusing on color relationships\, surface\, seriality\, and the psychology of visual perception. \nJohn Ralston V’s work accelerates and embellishes natural forms of accumulation and erosion. \nDebra Weisberg’s mixed media monotype prints are inspired by the natural world ranging from organic roots and volcanic geologies. \nMargaret Wilson’s painterly surfaces reveal figures from a blue color field\, divulging a moment of unexpected amusement or disturbance.

SUMMARY:Monotype Workshop with Anthony Kirk
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Anthony Kirk \nDates: Saturday\, January 22\, 2022 \nTime: 10AM –  2PM \n  \nREGISTER HERE\n  \nWorkshop Description \nAnthony Kirk will lead a three-hour workshop where participants will investigate several methods of creating and printing monotypes. We will be printing with and without a press and also print from a freshly printed impression. Known as a counterproof\, this enables the artist to see their print in the orientation that it was made on the plate and not the mirror image. Without reworking the pate with added ink\, a second or “ghost” impression can also be pulled. Usually a brush technique where ink is applied to the plate in an additive way\, the ink can also be rolled on the plate with brayers and then removed with rags and Q-tips. This is known as a reductive monotype. \nOften referred to as “the painterly print”\, monotypes can also be a drawing process whereby a thin layer of ink is rolled onto the plate\, paper is then laid over the plate and the artist then draws on the paper. By varying the hand pressure and variety of sharpness or bluntness of the drawing tool\, ink is transferred to the paper accordingly. This technique is commonly known as transfer or trace monotype and Paul Klee was an exponent of this process. He referred to this body of work as “transfer drawings”. \nNon-toxic inks and water-soluble crayons will be used in a fume free environment where the clean up solvent is Dawn detergent and water. Space is limited to 12 participants and a fee of $30 per person will cover all material costs. \nParticipants will be printing from plate sizes 11 x 14 ins. and 18 x 24 ins on paper measuring 15 x 22 ins. and 22 x 30 ins.

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:“Loosen UP!” Oil and Acrylic Workshop with Souby Boski
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Souby Boski \nDate: Saturday\, February 26th \nTime: 11:00 AM – 3:30 PM \n  \nREGISTER HERE\n  \nWorkshop Description \n“Loosen UP!” Oil & Acrylic Workshop \nIn this workshop students will learn how to loosen up and apply their paint in a gestural\, painterly manner. \nTechniques and observations on what it takes to “loosen-up” your paintings. Nearly all of these tips have a common denominator – simplification. The more you simplify what you do\, the more it frees your mind to concentrate on staying loose. \nStudents will practice using bigger brushes\, more paint and working faster. We will take color to new unexpected places by working with various colors and departing from realism. \nBring several canvases and reference photos. A suggested materials list will be provided upon registration.
