ART 101 will exhibit Arthur May’s “Recent Paintings” from March 20 through April 12.
The opening reception is on March 22, from 4 to 7 pm.
Although Arthur May is essentially a self-taught artist, he holds degrees from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the University of Pennsylvania where he studied painting with George Rickey, and Neil Welliver. He is a fellow of the American Academy in Rome where he presented a one-man show of paintings and drawings at the completion of his fellowship.
The work is comprised of small abstract carefully crafted paintings.
These images deal with reality but at a studied distance. They are involved
in formalist issues such as, balance, proportion, and scale. Color is used for it’s
emotional impact. Space and spatial resolution are primary criteria. A level of
spatial ambiguity is sought, serving to expand perceptual possibilities. The paintings draw primarily from artists who worked in the first half of the twentieth century.
The work is executed in oil on canvas or panel, and is primarily small 24”x 24” or 32”x 32”. We are creating a group of paintings that can serve to reassert the case for a
non-minimal abstract art. (AM)
ART 101 is open Friday through Sunday, 1 to 6 pm, or by appointment any time.
The gallery is wheelchair accessible.
