Earth On Fire: New Paintings By Mary Giammarino
Four Eleven Gallery, located at 411 Commercial Street in Provincetown, announces Earth On Fire: New Paintings By Mary Giammarino.
Of this new body of work Giammarino says, “Painting in these times feels very bourgeois. Our earth is burning. Yet we go about business as usual. I hope I add this awareness and concept to my work. Whether it’s representing the tentative and fragile beauty of the world, or just by adding more reds to my paintings.”
There will be an opening with the artist on Friday, July 29th from 7-9 PM, The show runs through Thursday, August 11th. In addition to the show, Giammarino’s artworks will be available to view and purchase at fourelevengallery.com
Giammarino’s devotion to light and color is evident in all of her paintings. While her work is influenced by an impressionist palette, her work is less idealized and more contemporary by design. Giammarino’s plein-air paintings reflect her passion and devotion to capturing the exquisite drama of nature’s fleeting moods. She has been returning to Provincetown to paint and study the Cape light every spring since 1989.
Giammarino has had numerous solo shows and exhibitions in Provincetown, Philadelphia and Vermont. Her work is in private collections and museums as well as all over Europe.
