Janet Fish - Into The Light - Exhibition
from:Southern Vermont Arts Center category:Arts and Entertainment posted:July 2nd, 2008Vermont painter Janet Fish has spent much of her life exploring the
action of light as it interacts with both translucent and reflective
objects. Since the late 1960s, she has explored the subjects of still
life and figure painting through bold compositions characterized by
intense, dissolving color. Today, Fish is a leader in contemporary
American realist painting, and her work may be found in public and
private collections from Texas to Vermont.
Organized by the Southern Vermont Arts Center, this retrospective exhibition will also be featured at the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in South Hadley, Massachusetts. Starting with Fish’s early Pop Art-inspired images of food and packaging, the exhibition will survey four decades of work and culminate in the artist’s most recent tabletop still-lifes. Fish herself will play a major role in selecting the works, which will number approximately thirty paintings and pastels borrowed from private collectors, museums and the artist’s own holdings.
Date: July 12th to Sep 23rd
Time: 10:00a.m. to 5:00p.m.
Location: Southern Vermont Arts Center (Hunter Gallery)
