Art by Chris Gentes

Chris Gentes is artist in Northampton who I made friends with at a house show a few years ago, and I have been keeping an eye on his work and bumping into him in town every once in a while. Here are a few images from a past show that was at Salon 241. They are from spots around Northampton.

Art by Donnabelle Casis

I went to the first Florence Night Out a few weeks ago, and have been putting up stuff from artists I saw there. This is from Donnabelle Casis, who has a studio in Florence. I asked her to tell me about her work, and was really glad I did, because she had interesting things to say. Here are her words from her website:

My current series explores identity and its relationship to markers and patterns: from ancient Filipino tribal tattoos and textiles, trajes de luces (suits of light) or bullfighting costumes, medieval chainmail and armor, Japanese kumihimo (braiding), and Pokemon figures. I am interested in how these symbols and colors reflect the bearer/wearer. I am also fascinated by the literal use of patterns in design and in the form of ritual. At what point do patterns change?

Paintings at Sean Greene's Studio

On friday, september 27, 2013, I went to the first "Florence Night Out" which is an open studio/promote your business thing, and I saw a bunch of interesting art, including the studio of Sean Greene, whose work I have show on here before. He's a really good painter, and I had a nice visit. Here's a few shots of the studio.

Algae Hole

Cool new painting by Stephanie Gerolimatos! You don't get the sense of size, but it is big, like maybe four feet tall. It is up in her show at the Center for the Arts until the end of October. It is even better in person. Go see it if you can.

Detail from the painting, because the texture is really important.
