Ripples, folds, and convoluted shapes give them their distinctive organic appearance. The Seaforms seemed to come by accident, as much of my work does by chance, Chihuly said. McGowan Fine Arts presents two exciting shows in June and July. Organic Forms runs from May 14 through June 22. In July Celebrating New Hampshire Forests will feature the work of several area artists.
Spring is when thoughts turn to everything green.
Organic Forms is a show inspired by these thoughts. Lynda Litchfield s subtle encaustics embody the subtle silvers and greens of the landscape. The incised surfaces cut into the rich fields she has painted. Marisa DiIorio Peter s delicate renderings of abstracted underwater scenes combine soft pastels with the shapes of sea cucumbers, bracts of seaweed, and flower forms. Barbara Wagner s large abstracts are a counterpoint to the work of the other two with her vivid reds and yellows.
