Janna Watson - Poems without Words

Saturday June 14, 4:00 PM - Sunday July 27

Kenise Barnes Fine Art -7 Fulling Lane Kent, CT

Janna Watson - Poems without Words
June 14 - July 27
Through her practice, Watson works to reframe spirituality into objects that reflect fluidity, agility, and joy. She communicates this through a queering of the painterly process, into one that is diversely applied, gestural, and multi-oriented. Janna intentionally forgoes the use of borders on her paintings to create a sense of the infinite, and the inherent vulnerability of a spirituality that is not contained by a canon.

Janna Watson’s compositions and color choices are both careful and spontaneous, each gesture evoking an unstated emotional response. The paintings are generous passages of vivid color with swooping buttery paint strokes, and calligraphic marks floating on fields of saturated color. They are not spare, but they have an implied economy of language, each gesture gathered towards the others with an unseen gravitational force coalescing into a graceful equilibrium.

Don't hesitate to contact Lani Holloway, Associate Director, Lani@kbfa.com, 860 560 3085 with inquiries or to arrange a preview of the exhibition.

Outside of the World

Saturday June 28, 4:00 PM - Saturday August 2

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

Opening on Saturday, June 28th- Deen Modino “OUTSIDE OF THE WORLD.”

The characters that dwell in the paintings of @deenmodino, posing and imposing, do not ask for our acceptance or our approval. They’re not part of our world, nor do they want to be. They live in the margins, in the corners we choose not to see. They seem familiar but do not exist, manufactured from bits of our world. With inspirations ranging from 60s sci-fi movies and Looney Tunes scene-scapes to Holiday Inn muted carpets and pop art flower bedspreads, Modino’s paintings are like stills in a moving diorama.

Meet us OUTSIDE OF THE WORLD for an opening reception with the artist from 4-7 PM.
