Mary Lamboley and Glynnis Fawkes will be exhibiting new work at 215 College Gallery in Burlington this month.The exhibit- " After Images" features recent drawings by Mary Lamboley. These exquisite atmospheric drawings of interior and exterior spaces use paradox and ambiguity to play between the familiar and the unfamiliar so that through contemplation, they can suggest the universal in common places and the conditions that create them. The exhibit- " Before Troy" -includes paintings by Glynnis Fawkes. These delicately rendered depictions of archaeological sites are peopled by characters from mythology in modern dress. These contemporary landscapes of ancient sites serve as a stage for both mythological and lived human comedy. The exhibit is curated by gallery member, Kate Donnelly and runs from March 26 through April 18 , 2010. An opening reception will be held on March 26 , 5-8pm, with an artsits' talk at 5:30.
Mary Lamboley is an artist who draws inspiration from her experiences living, working and traveling in the US, Europe, and Africa, as well as from her studies of the relationships between eastern philosophy, science, art, and creativity which inform the practice of being in the world in ethical and sustainable ways. She has exhibited work nationally and internationally and is currently working as the Founder’s Assistant with a year-long staff artist residency at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson.
