Aviva and I decided to check out some shows at Bergomot Station – that’s an old warehouse area that’s been converted into a collection of art galleries. We saw three shows that stood out.<\/p>\n

First, Aviva wanted to see the Irene Hardwicke Olivieri show – the work is wonderful, colorful, thoughtful. Much of the work is on wood – doors, windows, even a child’s headboard. Definitely magic realism; here’s the post card (I wish we could have afforded one of her pieces, they are brilliant):<\/p>\n

\"Lamp<\/a>

“Lamp Unto My Feet,” Irene Hardwicke Olivieri, 2013<\/p><\/div>\n

We saw a show of Judith Mullen’s work – modern abstraction, I immediately saw references common to Aviva’s work so I wasn’t surprised she spent some time browsing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Mile<\/a>

“Mile Marker 359 B,” Judith Mullen, 2013<\/p><\/div>\n

Finally, the first gallery we went into had the work of Stephen Aldrich – he does collage from turn of the century prints without reproducing them. The work is amazing, technically its as close to flawless as I’ve seen, you have to look closely to see that they are really collage! And the form and structure of the work is also fabulous – again, the card:<\/p>\n

\"Exposition<\/a>

“Exposition Of Dynamic Symmetry,” Stephen Aldrich, 2012<\/p><\/div>\n

And as always, a couple of other pictures I took while there – the funny one is the elephant in the pickup truck….<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The Wall of Plants<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Transporting<\/a>

Transporting an elephant (statue)<\/p><\/div>\n
