KINGFIELD – The Stadler Gallery at 225 Main Street continues its exhibitions this summer with works by Elizabeth Kelley from Arundel, Maine, and Jan ter Weele from Falmouth, Maine.
After a detour in social work, Kelley decided to pick up where she left off after having graduated from the Massachusetts College of Art, took her paints and brushes and followed her need to express on canvas her reaction to the many unique moments of Maine life and landscape that surround her. This body of work is presented here under the title “Interpretations in Paint.”
In the natural world, architecture, figures, anything she might encounter while on location, she is seeking the balance of material and immaterial influences, of control and uncertainty. Every painting experience reflects the experience of living in a world of unique moments, and they all become objects treated with the materiality of paint. Every painting experience confirms that she looks at life as it is, and at the same time each object is the way she sees it.
Jan ter Weele will show his new landscape paintings. Ter Weele was born in Holland and came to the United States after fleeing the Nazi occupation in 1940. He studied at the Art Student League of New York and the Massachusetts and Maine Colleges of Art. He has painted in Europe, Hawaii, and extensively in Maine, always being a true companion to his bright and colorful post-modern fauvist palette of oil paints. He says he likes color, and he likes to flatten space and integrate shapes which can be most beautifully observed in his landscape paintings.
There will be a reception for the artists on Saturday, July 17 from 2-4 pm.
The exhibitions will be on view from July 17 through August 6 daily from noon to 4 pm, or by appointment. Please view www.stadlergallery.com for more information.
