Greenfield Gallery Walk: Portraits by María Sparrow
2024-02-23 17:00 - 20:00
Portraits by María Sparrow
Drawing from the work of Alice Neel and Frida Kahlo in particular, these explorations of portraiture in oil investigate acts of witnessing and representation. Neel and Kahlo’s work resonates for their use of observation, expressiveness, and sensitivity to color. In this ongoing portrait series, I am similarly more interested in capturing a person’s presence than in realism. Temperature, light, and gesture are all concerns here. Also: the temporary, the fleeting, the ephemeral.

María Sparrow lives in Greenfield, MA.

Art Commune Film Series: The Cockettes
2024-02-09 18:00 - 20:00
The Cockettes were an avant garde psychedelic hippie theater group founded by Hibiscus (George Edgerly Harris III)in the fall of 1969. The troupe was formed out of a group of hippie artists, men and women, who were living in Kaliflower, one of the many communes in Haight-Ashbury, a neighborhood of San Francisco, California. Hibiscus came to live with them because of their preference for dressing outrageously and proposed the idea of putting their lifestyle on the stage.
