Natura Viva Premiers in Provincetown June 2013
I'm so pleased to announce an exhibition project I'm developing for June 2013.
The theme: “Leaf patterning and veining, tree formation,
hives and shells all have a mathematical description to their form.
It can be enormously intriguing to mimic, recreate, and in a sense,
relive the form through line and color in a fractal way, using the
organic growth of a wavering line and meandering color."
Ten nationally
recognized artists who paint with encaustic (pigmented wax) will have
new work in Natura Viva – Flora, Fauna, and Us, a botanically
themed exhibition at Artcurrent Gallery in Provincetown, Mass.
The exhibition,
associated with the Seventh International Encaustic Conference, will
run from May 30 through June 16, 2013, with an opening reception on
Friday, May 31, 2013, from 5 – 8 p.m.
Joanne
Mattera, founder of the International Encaustic Conference, says:
“This exhibition is part of the Conference Curatorial Program, in
which selected artists conceive and produce an exhibition based on
their interests. Claffey’s “Natura Viva” represents an
opportunity for an artist to stretch conceptually beyond studio
practice. Claffey is also a landscape gardener.”
Artcurrent
Gallery directors, Tina M. Trudel, PhD, and Dorothy Palanza, host
exhibits featuring diverse visual, literary and performance artists
in both Provincetown and New York City.
Founder/Director
Joanne Mattera produces the International Encaustic Conference
annually in Provincetown with Truro Center for the Arts at Castle
Hill and its Executive Director, Cherie Mittenthal. In its seventh
year, The Conference is a professional event that brings together
contemporary artists with lectures, demonstrations and exhibitions
in Provincetown and the surrounding area of Cape Cod.
The ten artists included in “Natura
Viva” are:
