SUMMARY:Veronique Sapin — Symptoms
DESCRIPTION:“Symptoms 2” by Veronique Sapin\nGallery Sitka announces the exhibition “Symptoms” by French visual artist Veronique Sapin\, with an opening reception on Friday\, April 26 from 4:30-6:30pm. Sapin\, whose studio is in Cugnaux\, France\, will be in attendance at the Shirley gallery. The show will be displayed through May 3. Also planned is an Artist Talk\, “Sisterhood in Art\, as a Consequence\, as a Strategy” at the Fitchburg Art Museum Thursday\, May 2\, from 12:30-1:30pm. Both the artist reception and the artist talk are free and open to the public. \nThe full scope of Véronique Sapin’s artwork is of the visual arts nature\, including videos\, installations\, photos\, ink\, and art books. Her artwork has been a part of more than 240 showings in forty countries. She is also curator\, co-founder and coordinator of the international women artists collective FemLink-Art which involves 140+ artists from 60+ countries. She has initiated important partnerships with institutions such as Unesco for the video training of African women artists. \nFor this exhibition at Gallery Sitka\, Sapin focuses on an ink painting art method she gleaned while living in Singapore where she took classes from artist Lim Choon Jin. \nMs. Sapin offers\, “Working with ink means anticipating what the ink will want to do\, expecting it not to do so\, and measuring our degree of intervention on its freedom. This implies a constant game of partnership and adversity between the artist and the medium.” \nGallery Sitka owner\, Tamar Russell Brown states\, “We have been expanding the gallery’s breadth of artists and offerings to include more international art. Veronique is our first French female artist to have as part of our Gallery Sitka family; we invite the community to join us in welcoming her!” \nAdditional information can be found at Gallery Sitka – Sapin. \nView the show on Artsy\nRead the PR

SUMMARY:Portrait of Nature – Melanie Zibit & Zen Saito
DESCRIPTION:  \n“Sunlight” by Melanie Zibit\nGallery Sitka announces the exhibition “Portrait of Nature” by sculptor Melanie Zibit and artist/photographer Zen Saito. The public is invited to the free opening reception on Sunday\, May 5 from 2:30-4:30pm; Saito and Zibit will be in attendance. The show will be displayed through June 5. \nSculptor and Shirley Massachusetts resident\, Melanie Zibit learned to carve in the marble workshops of Carrara\, Italy. Her passion for creating sculpture started as an undergraduate and then grew in her 20s to working with artists in rural Maine and in New York City. Zibit carves at the Vermont Carving Studio and Sculpture Center. She gives presentations at museums\, schools\, universities\, galleries\, and arts festivals and has received commissions and exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the US. Zibit is the recipient of the 2014 and 2015 NYC Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club award and the 2015 Best Abstract in Show award from the Cape Cod Art Association. \nZibit states\, “I am inspired by ancient and modern sculptors. I use marble and bronze\, classical materials\, and components of forms found in nature to create a modern statement. Leaving elements natural or forms unfinished invites the viewer to complete the form in their mind’s eye.” \n“Sunflower” by Zen Saito\nArtist\, Japanese native\, and Fitchburg resident Zen Saito (a.k.a. Yoshiyuki Saito) grew up in a small town in Japan with a family that supported his creativity. By age 18\, Zen had moved to Tokyo to study design. At age 24 he moved to New York where he studied at The Art Students League of New York\, worked at a sculptor studio\, and exhibited his work in group and solo shows in Brooklyn and Manhattan. In 2007 Zen moved to Massachusetts and has expanded his artistic endeavors to include carpentry. \nZen shares\, “My artwork is often influenced by nature\, and often reflects the period of my life. I once wanted my artwork to carry messages to the world — but recently I have just been enjoying working with different media\, exploring and developing new skills\, opening up my freedom to challenge my creativity.” \nAdditional information can be found at Gallery Sitka. \nView the show on Artsy\nRead the PR

SUMMARY:James Proctor
DESCRIPTION:Artist’s Statement \n\nMy brush strokes are fast and non-deliberate. I have no predetermined result. I paint how I feel at that moment. My paintings can be enjoyed up close. Most important is to take your time and let the painting emerge for you. \nView the show on Artsy \n\n\nPlease visit the Bull Run’s website for their hours of operation. This show is in the artist’s walkway at the Bull Run through November 2024.
