An oil painting of an empty rowboat hangs on a wide column at A Gallery in Oak Bluffs. It’s missing its oars, and occupants too. A Gallery owner Tanya Augoustinos sees the painting by Carol Barsha as a metaphor for passage and transition.
Within the ephemeral confines of time, a place that provides refuge from a tirelessly moving reality is always a welcome respite.
Selected sculptures and drawings by Stella Waitzkin will be featured at A Gallery on Uncas avenue in Oak Bluffs from July 19 to 31.
Artists and friends Doris Lubell and Ilka List decided to show their work together in a visual arts show at the A Gallery. Deep Diving: Paintings, Drawing and Sculpture, will hang from July 5 through July 17.
The A gallery in Vineyard Haven lives on for another weekend with XX Danger Zone, a multi media event being held on Oct. 7 from 7 to 10:30 p.m. The Danger Zone is actually Holly Diane Anger a.k.a. Holly Danger who with Jeff Schram is presenting the Moon, an acoustic, electronic and live visual performance project.
Samantha Barrow who often rides her motorcycle around the country sharing her poems, will dismount for the evening and add her blend of poetry and performance to the mix.
Artist Billy Hoff isn’t one to dissect his painting process. “I push around paint and see what happens,” he said.
This seems to be an oversimplification of his process, especially considering his painting of Bobby Driscoll, one of the pieces featured in his new show at the A Gallery in Vineyard Haven. Mr. Hoff is sharing the walls with fellow Vineyarder Lily Morris in their joint exhibit entitled Emergence which opened on Sunday.
