ARTIST RECEPTION: SEAN GREENE
SATURDAY, JUNE 13TH from 5-7PM.
Front Room Space.

“I paint without trying to imitate the visual world outside of the studio, but that world inspires how I work with color on a surface. I respond to color. It can move me as forcibly as a musical melody, and opens a door to my sense of human-ness. With a focus on color relationships, much of the work that I am doing takes place on the palette where I mix intervals of shifting hues, values and saturation (the three attributes of color). I apply the paint in a very direct way, avoiding any flourish, sense of decoration or virtuosity, because I want to keep the experience of the color relationships as prominent as possible. The way I am painting is the result of removing as many obstacles and distractions of process as possible, so that I can more easily access an open mental-emotional state. The noises of my mind go quiet, and the possibility of discovery becomes elevated.”
A painter’s painter. One of the best. Hope you can come out and support Sean and the arts and experience his work in person. You can preview all of Sean’s work in his artist tab on the website - pulpholyoke.com

This will be the last chance to see his work in Holyoke. “A group of exceptionally charming portrait paintings by a retired New England lawyer named Earle T. Merchant at Pulp” - NYTimes . I would say charming and disarming and soul catching. Last weekend!! Sat. & Sun. 11-5pm .
