‘Acquired Symbols’ at Maine Art Gallery
Tue, 06/08/2021 - 3:15pm

All of the artists in this Maine Art Gallery show that opens on June 12 have a connection with well-known Maine artist John Lorence.

Works in mixed-media, collage, sculpture, photography, pottery, drawing, and painting reflect the worldly influences that affected Elliott Barowitz, Matt Blackwell, Fellice...

Glaser was also drawn to the photographic appeal of the state’s ocean scenery and traditional...

Tue, 06/08/2021 - 10:00am

Carlo Albucci was a Florentine painter of curious happenings. He painted ironic, iconic, surreal and comic events sometimes all together, sometimes one at a time. In all ways they are fun to look at and even more fun to figure out. These “happenings,” all oil paintings on Masonite, were inventions of his rather elaborate and curious imagination. Only the viewer can decide. Anyway you look at them though, they will leave you wondering, smiling, and perhaps laughing at this crazy world he’s...
