‘Earthly Matters’ To Open At Bachelier Cardonsky

KENT — The Bachelier Cardonsky Gallery will present the exhibition “Earthly Matters,” featuring the sculpture of Joy Brown, along with paintings by Kathryn Frund, Joan Griswold and Nora Sturges, on Saturday, October 13. An opening reception will be hosted by the gallery on Saturday from 3 to 5 pm. The show will then continue to November 11.

Joy Brown’s clay people have emerged again from her Connecticut kiln, bursting with emotion and heart-felt humor. With 30 years of shows in the United States, Europe and Asia, Ms Brown continues to surprise.

Kathryn Frund’s landscapes are painted on wood panels and collaged with old property deeds and surveys that connect one to the land she depicts. Her textural, abstracted paintings are meditations on nature, mindful of the past and present.

Joan Griswold is a painter from Massachusetts with many shows and awards since 1986. Her inviting interiors have been described as “portraits without people,” as they feel to have been occupied only moments before.

Nora Sturges paints small scenes that stretch beyond the limits of reality. They are poetic and surreal, dreamlike with odd juxtapositions. She has had many shows in Connecticut and in Baltimore, Md., where she lives.

Bachelier Cardonsky Gallery is on North Main Street. Gallery hours are Saturday and Sunday from 11 am until 5 pm, and during the week by appointment.
