Wicked Local
'Out of True' art show featuring
local artists
Out of True," a new show at ROOM 83 Spring, Watertown,
opens Thursday. See work by three multitasking artist/writers, a hooker (the
yarn kind) and a painter/professor who share a sensibility of primitive
sophistication in widely varied media.
The show runs April 17 to May 29 at 83 Spring St. There is a
preview April 17 from 6 to 8 p.m. and a reception Sunday, May 11, from 3 to 5
p.m.
Gallery hours are Thursday from 2 to 4 p.m. and Saturday from noon to 4
p.m.
The show includes
giant pencils and smaller wood sculpture by Paul Angiolillo of Watertown. He is also a journalist and has
written for the Waltham News Tribune. His artwork is in the shop at the Fuller
Craft Museum in Brockton.
Cat Bennett, a multi-media artist and
author who lives and works in Watertown, is showing many tiny multi-chromed
people. Bennett teaches drawing at the Arsenal Center for the Arts and is an
animator and illustrator. Her most recent book is “Making Art a Practice.”
Frances Hamilton, a Boston painter and
collage artist who teaches at MassArt and shows at the Clark Gallery in
Lincoln, exhibits her wildly colorful mixed media paintings on books.
Phyllis Poor, one of the region’s
premiere fiber artists, contributes hooked chairs, pillows and handbags. She
lives in Bedford and has taught hooking with yarn at the DeCordova and the
Fuller museums and exhibited her work throughout New England for many years.

and writer Maggie Stern does framed
stitched handkerchiefs of animals and people. She lives and works in Concord
and sells her work at the Guilford Art Center in Guilford, Conn., Essentia in

"Art does not reproduce the visible, it makes visible" – Paul Klee
Miniature polychrome clay heads, stitched drawings on repurposed linen, hand-painted books, carved wooden birds and snakes, hooked chairs and a giant pencil – the works in this show share an aesthetic kinship with folk and outsider art. Vital impulse trumps representation in works conjured from personal experience. Meet five artists who follow an honest instinctual expression of life as art.
