Dreamscapes at WalterFedy

Single Cubic Unit (Green), 2013 – Stephen Lavigne

My brother from the very same mother, David G. White, is showing his paintings at WalterFedy and Friday night was the opening reception of the show Dreamscapes, curated by Chérie Fawcett.  This is a strong show with very accessibly-priced work.  It runs through December 18.

This piece (above) by Stephen Lavigne made me do a double-take.  I was two feet away from it, lovin’ it, thought it was a painting, and when I turned away my brother said it’s constructed of precisely cut green painter’s tape.  Mind: blown.

Chérie Fawcett, curator of Dreamscapes, is wrapping up her gig as curator-in-residence with this fourth show at WalterFedy.  She’s doing some work at Cambridge Galleries and no doubt has a number of other projects cooking.

Kaitrin Beechey and a print of her work Atlantis

Had a great chat with Kaitrin about the prints of her pen drawings.  This photo isn’t doing the work justice; it’s a complex and tiny world she’s constructed.  Check out her site for much better images of her work.

Detail of All in a Dream 1, 2013 – David Atkinson 

Painter, David Atkinson, is curating a show on Charles Street at Cafe Pyrus, which also features some of my brother’s work.   Right across from the bus station.  Check it out.  Loved the treatment of light in this piece above.

Detail of Hades and Persephone, 2011 – Sam Meiler

Dave White reviews his own work Morass, 2013.  Thought bubble: “I need to darken that edge right there to push that back and…”

Overseas, 2013 – David G. White

I believe this piece has a new home.  And a very good home, indeed.  Sold!

One panel of triptych Confrigeration? (Consider Refrigeration?), 2013 – Susan Qu

Great chat with Susan Qu about her work.  These flesh-like chairs were unsettling.

View from Pyramid Scape, 2013 – Jessica Firsoff

this cool peep hole piece by Jessica Firsoff.  Shooting this with my Z10 produced a much better result than the D3.
