Opening on Friday night.

Artist Statement

I found a quote on the internet that said, “If you want to learn what someone fears losing, notice what they photograph.” I am a photographer who cannot stop taking pictures of the landscape: sea, shore, trees, rocks, fields, and sky. I thought that I would be tired of it by now, but instead, I feel an increasing desire to capture all that I see. I think that I understand what that quote means to me. The landscape is life. To be a witness to my physical surroundings is proof that I am here! The landscape is a mirror for my life: constantly changing, evolving, and striving to survive and a constant reminder that I must live in the present.

My photographic journey started with an interest in mastering the techniques of black and white film processing and darkroom photo printing. My quest for inspiration and desire to apply my knowledge of film photography to my work in the digital darkroom led me to achieve a Certificate of Photography from the RISD/CE program in 2017. I continue to combine my love of travel and photography but I have recently discovered a new appreciation for all the beautiful places that exist in my own backyard that I call Rhode Island

I first discovered infrared photography back in my film days and I still remember how fascinated I was to see a picture of a landscape that had such a mystical and otherworldly look to it. I felt like I had discovered a secret that the landscape had been trying to hide from me. I recently rediscovered infrared photography in its digital form and I had my Fujifilm X-Pro 1 camera converted to use a super color infrared filter (590nm) which enables me to produce color or black and white infrared images. Although I continue to use my traditional digital camera, I have noticed that I much prefer the surprise and drama of the mystical images that the infrared camera reveals to me.

Ingrid Scheibler at Gallery 444 PTown

Opening on Friday night.

Artist Statement

My paintings are a pictorial conversation in real time. In genuine dialogue one has to be open to the presence of otherness, be it another person, tradition, history, or a work of art. 
 
I approach the canvas in an improvisational dialogue I want to explore but don’t know its end point. I see the physical space of the canvas as containing the conversation as it is played out through marks, gestures, intention, accident, space, and materials. This process of discovery is alive with energy, sometimes frustration, and animated by both formal concerns and a psychological awareness of the facts of embodiment and embeddedness in a web of relationships—person, woman, mother, wife, sister, daughter.
 
I am painting my side of the conversation as well as the other voice, and being open to this other voice is what animates my work and allows it to unfold on the canvas. Kinetic energy is generated by a dialogue of complementary opposites: abstract/figurative, hard edge abstraction and more gestural painting, control and accident, order and chaos, humor and pathos.

Darreb Jones Art at Gallery 444 PTown

Opening on Friday night.

Darren Jones is a Chicago based artist who captures nature’s beauty in his paintings which evoke emotion and a sense of humanity.  Born in Canada, he is a self-taught artist who enjoys working in oil, acrylic and mixed mediums on canvas or wood panels.  He is frequently asked how he began painting. From a young age he has always known that he has the soul of an artist but it wasn’t until one summer day in 2004, while going to movie, he passed an art store.  He did not go in, but noticed a “starter” oil painting kit in the window for sale.  Intrigued, he returned to the store after the movie and decided to make the purchase, one that he will never regret.  He began painting that evening and has not put his brush down since.  In March 2009, after being laid off from his executive position with a travel publication, he has taken the leap to pursue his passion full time! A decade later, he is going strong.

  “The world and its never-ending natural surroundings inspire my soul, my thinking and my work.” Water, gardens and dramatic landscapes heavily influence his work.  Growing up, fond memories of his mother’s gardens and how she tended to them so gently have been the inspiration for many of his paintings over the years.  Traveling frequently, Jones is often moved by novel settings.  “Many of the world’s natural wonders act as a muse.” All of these elements help him create paintings that are impressionistic , abstract and contemporary in style.  

With his current collection shown here, he tries to evoke a sense of place, peace and calm within one’s soul.  Moving from the simple to the complex while maintaining a sense of order. With many of his new pieces, he has incorporated delicate recycled papers, wood fibers, industrial staples, plaster and beach sand mixed with acrylic paints to create a greater depth to his work.

Jones is a supporter of a variety of organizations and charitable events. He helps raise funds through his art for groups that support children, treat mental illness and AIDS/HIV.

Jones’ work is featured in galleries and private collections in 50 countries across North America, Europe, Australia and the Middle East.

Matthias Lupri at Gallery 444 PTown

• June 19 – July 10
• August 7 – 2
• September 18 – 25

Opening on Friday night.

Boston oil painter MATTHIAS LUPRI will be back once again this year to Provincetown presenting his latest works in a SOLO SHOW.

Large Inner Landscapes, abstract portraits and archetypal paintings.

Please drop on by and say hello.

Artist Statment

Matthias has been working within the arts all his life in various aspects. His goal is to integrate painting, music, film, photography, acting, narrative, and poetry cohesively, while drawing from life, dreams, symbols, myth, philosophy and psychology.

“In a general reflection on my art and life, I feel that the unconscious and conscious landscape hemispheres collide creating positive and negative tension within our lives. The unconscious has an existence of time immemorial within your myth, while our conscious life ego awakes daily to a fresh new day. So I question; How do we exist through these our entire lives, shaping us toward the past, present and future as one totality? In which way does the essence of it all give meaning to who we are and contribute to our interactions with each other, our earth and universe?

 

It has been a lifelong search and journey revealing my art through these philosophical and psychological constructs. Art that coexists and works in conjunction with these constructs and with each other:

painting, music, poetry, photography, film and narrative. The landscape hemispheres and archetypes create new paths to follow and show themselves as personal empirical motifs within the art abstractly. They prove to be part of the memory, dream, reflection symbiosis. It is all much a mystery and interesting pursuit.”
