Our current exhibit, Jim Campbell: Recent work has been getting a lot of positive feedback from everyone who has visited the gallery since we installed the show two weeks ago! The show is running in conjunction with the seventh biennial Boston Cyberarts Festival and has really stood out as a part of this year's work. Greg Cook of the Boston Phoenix called one of the three pieces on exhibit, "Exploded View" the "sharpest piece" in the Festival in his review of the Festival as a whole. At the Cyberarts Festival closing Gala on May 6th Howard Yezerski Gallery was awarded the IBM Innovation Award for the best exhibition in the entire festival! We are extremely happy with the show and hope that everyone gets a chance to come in and view the work.
We are having a back room show of work by painter Barbara Grad. Grad describes her paintings as a "collision of perspectives" that allude, through their nonfigurative images, to the tensions associated with modern society and its effects on us as individuals. Each painting is made up of two attached canvases that communicate with each other in an unpredictable manner. This creates volatile connections in the work, which call into question what we perceive as representation and abstraction.
Barbara Grad has her M.F.A from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she resided before moving to Massachusetts. She has been a professor of painting at Massachusetts College of Art since the early 1980s. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries nationwide. Her work is currently on view in a solo show called Video Villa at the Kemper Museum of Art in Kansas City, KA.
