Only Up A Tree
Saturday October 19, 11:00 AM - Saturday November 30
FOTODIARY 3 Old Barn Road
“I thought that I would be in Heaven but I am only up a tree.”
Ryan James Caruthers
James Caruthers's recently published book inspired our current show. Inspired by Caspar David Friedrich’s painting “The Monk by the Sea,” James Caruthers's search for self among the trees evokes an intimate connection akin to that of lovers, reflecting his desire to surrender to an unpredictable force.
This show, dedicated to Trees, is an inquiry into the concept of time—the camera recording its subject in a split-second and the forest having potentially infinite lifespans. Autumn has arrived, and temperate trees offer an elegant map for navigating the passage of time.
ARTIST: GREG St JOHN
Greg St John has been drawn to the landscape around him all of his life. The landscape can be trees, plants, architecture, and objects—a series of abstract marks, values, shapes, and colors. He is fascinated by their interrelationships, how they create movement and rhythms, and how one’s eye absorbs the energy. From the sculptures, drawings, and oil paintings on display at the gallery, we can feel the same unpredictable force that James Caruthers captured from his photographs.

Public reception on Sunday, October 20 from 4–6
Kenise Barnes Fine Art is pleased to announce an exhibition featuring contemporary landscape paintings and drawings. Immortalized in the 1800s by painters in the Hudson River School, the Hudson River Valley has been a rich source of inspiring forests, mountains, and vistas for artists. Point of view is the position from which something is observed; it is also the voice in which a story is told. The three artists in this show live and work in the region and continue this rich legacy. Their artwork tells the story of unique observation, impression, and interpretation.
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.

Each of us finds renewal in different ways—family, friends, faith, and the restorative energy of nature. After such a turbulent time, we all need to find calm and peace again and then inspiration for the next path ahead.
“Stop and Breathe” is a group exhibition of contemplative works to help us pause, rest, and start again.
THE GALLERY IS OPEN FROM THURSDAY TO SUNDAY

Works by February James
Saturday November 16, 5:00 PM - Sunday January 5
Peggy Mercury 9 Maple Street UNIT 2 Kent Barns Kent, CT
Artist February James typically uses watercolors and ink, as well as oil pastels and oil paints, to create ethereal, expressionistic portraits that reflect on identity-forming behaviors within the framework as it probes the human condition. They feature dreamlike subjects with smudged and distorted features that seek to capture the essence of the person rather than the likeness.
For this special exhibition at Peggy Mercury, James explores the idea of XANADU: A vision in a dream, a metaphor for opulence or an idyllic place, based upon Samuel Taylor Coleridge's description of Shangdu in his poem "Kubla Khan." The idea of the Muse, if you must, and inspiration in general, is explored in this new medium of expression with seven ceramic sculptures.
We are beyond excited to celebrate this moment and the opening of this exhibit with the artist on Saturday, November 16th. We hope to see you there!
