Lisa Charkey; Reflections of My Everyday Life, opens this Friday
A Retrospective of the artist’s career; a far-flung romp through the various media and modes of story- telling which Charkey explored in her four decades of art making.
A syncretist by nature, collage proved a perfect fit for Charkey whose late work entitled “Cut Up Woman” chronicled her five year battle with brain cancer. Dour though the subject material may sound, the work is suffused with Lisa’s humor and warmth. A heliotrope bar none, even her unapologetically candid “Cancer Journals” bear the imprint of her love of Reggae music and the joy taken living in sunlight. ————————————————
Opening Reception FRIDAY December 7th, 5:30. Food, wine, and music!
Gallery Hours on SUNDAY 12-5pm ————————————————

Join us this FRIDAY for " Lisa Charkey: Reflections of My Everyday World " This will be a three day tribute to the beloved artist and friend, spanning decades of her artistic journey.
Opening Reception at Gallery Walk, Friday Dec 7th, 5:30. Food and wine will be served. On Sunday Dec 9th the Gallery will be open from 12-5pm
Shown here are late works which show both Charkey's unapologetic candor, alongside her warmth and humor. This showing is a special chance to see the far-flung range of an artists' career, starting form her early years at River Gallery School to her years abroad, and finally here again where she taught, painted, and raised family.
This is going to be a real celebration of a life lived in art, and we hope to see you there!

The recent ink drawings of are comprised of meticulously rendered lines inspired by tree rings. The room at 118 has been transformed into a veritable breathing, vibrating, forrest on paper. The viewing experience is suggestive of Shinrin - yoku , the practice of taking in a Forrest atmosphere, which is practiced for its medicinal value in Japan !
The Autographic Image is the opposite of Automatic, in its seemingly infinite variations; lines incised within lines, akin to the care and focus that goes into a sand mandala, at once contemplative and rigorous ———————————————— This is Namenwirth ‘s first show in ten years. He will be talking about his passion for drawing and music at his panel discussion tomorrow night at 118 Gallery in Brattleboro Vt .

FACE. Whatever the painter is looking for, he’s looking for it’s face. All the search and all the losing and the refinding is about that, isn’t it ? And ‘ it’s face ‘ means what? He’s looking for it’s return gaze and he’s looking for it’s expression- a slight sign of inner life . And this is true whether he’s painting a cherry, a bicycle wheel, a blue rectangle, a carcass, a bush, a hill or his own reflection in the mirror .
The painters’s continual search is for a place to welcome the absent. If he finds a place, he arranges it and prays for the face of the absent to appear.
What any true painting touches is an absence of which, without the painting, we might be unaware. And that would be our loss.
