Geo Thermal Borealis: Works by Mary Judge

Mary Judge, Geo Thermal Borealis

Reception: Saturday, September 13, 4–6 pm, public invited
Artist Talk: Saturday, September 13, 5 pm, public invited

Judge titled the exhibition to evoke the earth and its hidden visual and physical forces. “Geo” has a duality of meaning in the exhibition title: “Geo” (Greek) references earth’s geology and geometries, referring to earth’s measurement. “Geothermal” references lava flows, steam geysers, and mud baths. “Thermal” calls to mind primordial molten material from below the Earth’s surface. Borealis (Latin) adds a reference to the goddess of the dawn and Boreas (Greek), the god of the north wind, and australis from Auster, the south wind, bringing the opposing cooler and lighter elements from the atmosphere.

Inter/States: A Dynamic Group of 12 Artists

Saturday September 20, 4:00 PM - Sunday November 16

Craven Contemporary 4 Fulling Lane Kent Barns Kent, CT

Craven Contemporary is excited to team up with Last Days Gallery to announce a new show Inter | States curated by New York City-based artist Michael De Feo. The show opens on Saturday, September 20th, with a reception for the artists from 4pm to 6 pm.

Inter | States brings together a dynamic group of twelve artists whose practices traverse personal and psychological landscapes. The exhibition features a single work each by Rick Briggs, David Kennedy Cutler, Loren Erdrich, Ashley Garrett, Kurt Lightner, Rob Ober, Janis Provisor, Nathan Ritterpusch, Carol Saft, Aaron Michael Skolnick, Mary Temple, and Ben Weiner. The artists all live and work in New York City, upstate New York, or Connecticut.

Through painting and sculpture, Inter | States explores the boundaries of inner and outer worlds where memory, identity, and place intersect. The title suggests both geographic and emotional terrains, reflecting the artists’ diverse approaches to transformation and connection across physical and conceptual boundaries.

The exhibition invites viewers to consider how shifting states shape our experience of the present.

INLINE by Renaud Charrin

Saturday September 27, 5:00 PM - Sunday November 2

Peggy Mercury 9 Maple Street UNIT 2 Kent Barns Kent, CT

INLINE by Renaud Charrin
Exhibition Dates: September 27 – November 2, 2025 Opening Reception: Saturday, September 27, 5–7 PM

Peggy Mercury is pleased to present INLINE, a new installation by French-American artist Renaud Charrin. The exhibition will be on view from September 27 through November 2, 2025.

INLINE features large, wall-based works that transform everyday materials into dynamic compositions of tension and release. Using mounted rods of clear plexiglass and ropes stretched across vivid color fields, Charrin reimagines their function. These familiar objects shift into new roles—becoming landscapes of rhythm, restraint, and possibility. Like lines drawn in space, the works guide the eye across invisible axes, where symmetry falters and energy surges. Though anchored in place, the pieces appear charged with motion, as if poised to shift at any moment.

Charrin’s career includes solo exhibitions at Galerie Mourlot in New York City and Fundación de Artistas in Mérida, Mexico. His work has been featured internationally, including at Miami Art Basel and the Parsons Alumni Exhibition. A graduate of Parsons School of Design, Charrin worked in advertising and design before dedicating himself fully to art in 2008. He now lives and works between Northwest Connecticut, New York, and Paris.

Renaud Charrin will also be featured in NEPANTLA, a group exhibition taking place October 23–28, 2025, in the Yucatán jungle. For more information, visit https://alratitostudio.com/nepantla.
