Curated by Susan Bogle Finnegan, the exhibition Portraits will feature selected works by Stephen Brown, Jennifer Knaus, Renee Brown and Mary Anne McCarthy.
John Berger’s collection of essays, Portraits, was the inspiration for this exhibition. Finnegan chose these artists, all with important connections to Connecticut, because the portrait has a significant place in each of their work. Through medium and skill, intensity and strength are evident in the specific way each painting addresses the encounter between artist and the subject. These paintings give the opportunity for the viewer to witness an interesting collective “dialogue” about considering identity and to experience the pleasure of really, really good painting and drawing.
Opening Reception: Saturday, March 31, 4pm - 6pm
