About

Give yourself plenty of time to stroll 'The Painted State' at Greenhut and into the magical woods at Cove Street.

[W]e can see every series as a different way Florance navigates the play between randomness and inevitability. The “Between” paintings, in particular, best express this struggle to find balance between opposing forces.

In essence, Daudin is not presenting portraits of particular people as much as he is snapshots – inventively conceived through the classical form – of the world in our times.

As the show’s title states, Garde is an expressionist, a style that relies heavily on free, often spontaneous gesture.

Photography is everywhere this summer, ranging from small, focused exhibitions to expansive, rambling surveys featuring some of the greatest masters in the field. Together, they represent a continuum of this art form from the 1880s through present day.

A show of watercolors by various artists and another of photographs of oil tanks by Tim Greenway are both on display at the Portland gallery.

Photographer Tim Greenway’s work is as sharp and hi-tech as painter Tim Wilson’s is vague and elemental.

Between two exhibits, Cove Street Arts is here, there and everywhere.

Take all four shows together and you’ve got a visual experience to rival the Portland Museum of Art.

On the evidence of the work in “Flight,” a paraphrase of a line from the song seems appropriate: “There will be art in the dark times.”
