Strange States at Shelburne Museum

Strange States is the third installation of the Museum’s popular biennial series, New England Now, which began in 2018. This exhibition will explore how regional contemporary artists are incorporating surrealist, supernatural, fantastical, or occult themes and humor into their multimedia work. New England has long been a refuge for artists seeking liberations from the limitations of reality and discovering infinite possibilities and meanings through their work.

FLORAL HEX @ 13Forest gallery

Floral Hex is currently on view at 13FOREST Gallery through April 16. This solo exhibit highlights the paintings of Nicole Duennebier, an artist who's been working in Massachusetts for over ten years, exhibiting across the state both solo and alongside her sister, Caitlin. Floral Hex is Duennebier's third solo show at 13FOREST Gallery, featuring paintings of flowers and floral arrangements. Her compositions bring to mind the old masters, Dutch still-lifes and Rococo landscapes in their attention to detail. But these paintings aren't idly pretty artworks, as Duennebier prefers to inject an element of the grotesque into her work, making her pieces simultaneously compelling and challenging. Some paintings feature floral wreaths and memorials depicted in lonely caves and desolate woods, conveying a sense of melodrama and isolation. Others contain carelessly squashed blossoms and fluttering insects marring the beauty of a bouquet. Perhaps most striking are the paintings in which flowers surround dead fish or slimy, unidentifiable meat. Each artwork has something unsettling about it, whether obvious or subtle, that adds a layer of emotional depth. Duennebier's work in Floral Hex is complex, both beautiful and uncanny, offering an duality that both repulses and entrances the viewer. 13FOREST Gallery is located at 167A Massachusetts Avenue in Arlington, Massachusetts and is open Tuesday—Sunday, 12:00—6:00 p.m. For more information, visit 13forest.com/floral-hex.

More then a Riot

More Than a Riot showcases the work of female and female-identifying artists across all media who are creating art in conversation with the current cultural climate, specifically issues of inequality and feminism. The exhibition highlights contemporary voices confronting bias, injustice, and hate who, through their work, refuse to be silenced. While we have a long way to go in the United States, the work of these artists proves it’s always been more than a riot, it’s a revolution.

More Than a Riot features work from Christina BalchThy DoanAriel FeibergChanel ThervilJoanna TamHolland DieringerKim Druker StockwellHope HellbergNicole DuennebierCaitlin DuennebierKit Collins, Secret Holiday and more...

Pushing Painting presents three concurrent exhibitions of new and recent work by painters living and working in New England. While differing in terms of subjects and techniques, the work of Elise Ansel, Nicole Duennebier and Duane Slick all demonstrate the vitality of contemporary painting in New England and the ever-present potential for the painted image to attract, engage and prompt reflection on how we view the world and our place within it.
