Homecoming 2021
Greetings from Camden Falls Gallery!
Camden Falls Gallery is very happy to be opening its doors to greet the 2021 season with its Spring Show “Homecoming”.
This show is always a welcome treat for the gallery. It is looked forward to by many, as it brings forth the bounties and treasures that have come into being through the course of a “usual Maine Winter.” This year we are especially grateful to be opening our doors as planned. Entering into our second Covid summer is not being taken lightly, and the gallery is looking forward to reconnecting with artists, friends and patrons.
Camden Falls Gallery will monitor and follow all state Covid guidelines and recommendations. As a result of last year’s semi-closed season we are especially looking forward to reconnecting with artists who we missed last year and await their extra premium of artwork. This gives us the ability to greet the spring with a rich diversity of results from long hours and days of inspiration, contemplation, perspective and execution of these individual gems created by our artists in their own unique ways. The vast array of largesse brought forth by our talented and dedicated artists is Camden Falls Gallery’s opening salvo into the Maine Summah’ art season.
“Homecoming” will open on Thursday, May 20, 2021. This show features the works of Jonathan McPhillip, Charles Fenner Ball, Ryan Kohler, and Alison Hill.
Jonathan McPhillips is a “ New American Luminists.” He can capture the light, the air, and the distinct atmosphere in his landscape and marine paintings. For Jonathan “Each painting is a problem to solve, or a puzzle to piece together…a playful, yet serious endeavor, and a celebration of our surroundings… We see many things everyday with heightened digital clarity, yet original artwork always conveys a sense of mystery and magic for us all. I see painting as an unspoken and unwritten way to connect our hearts and minds through depictions of shared experience.”
Rooted and inspired by the natural environment, Charles Fenner Ball likes to take to his own course and paint through his colorful journey, moved by the surrounding landscapes to record his inspirations on canvas. He creates lively, and sometimes whimsical interpretations of a worldview beyond what is seen.
Ryan Kohler is known for his use of colors, shapes, textures, and an array of practices in traditional art and graffiti techniques to create wonderfully bold and playful art. He pushes the boundaries of color patterns, and makes joyful combinations of wild, dynamic, and unique landscapes that catch the eye of those who behold it.
Alison Hill is a staple among Maine artists. She is one of the many artists lured to Monhegan by its timeless landscapes, rugged coastline, rustic architecture, and self-reliant Islanders. Alison’s landscapes capture the breadth of beauty that motivates her to paint the environment around her. She is able to skillfully paint the island’s magic.
We will continue our goal of “Putting Art Within the Reach of Everyone”, and provide information to showcase the work of our artists. Please help us spread the word where and when you can. We and the Artists of Camden Falls Gallery would appreciate your help.
We have missed seeing so many of you in the gallery this year due to COVID-19.
Camden Falls Gallery is now OPEN, and we are more than pleased to be open following Maine state guidelines. If you would like more detailed images of the artwork from our gallery, please don’t hesitate to reach out and contact us. We would be glad to provide you with additional information.
