Gaseo - QUADRALECTIC: A SOLO GROUP SHOW

A new kid on the block: Quadralectics in Northampton, Massachusetts. (Facebook) It might not be the same as the quadralectics philosophy, but the intentions are good.

I visited Northampton in 1998, as part of a fact-finding trip to T.S. Eliot's ''Dry Salvages''.

SEPT 6 - 28 FINAL WEEK!

QUADRALECTIC: A SOLO GROUP SHOW

 

“Quadralectic: A Solo Group Show,” is a unique exhibition curated by Malinda Labriola featuring the work of four artistic personas, each representing a different facet of Malinda’s artistic practice. Meet the Artists:

 

Siggie Zampa, the cartoonist, shares humor through playful cartoons created using just two vibrant colors.

 

R.L. Stilzkin, the illustrator, opens up detailed worlds with intricate line drawings of whimsical characters that spark the imagination.

 

GASEO, the abstractionist, captures the essence of motion and energy by using the movement of cars to create dynamic line drawings, often transformed with watercolor

 

Mal Labriola, the printmaker, merges nature and art by crafting unique prints and compositions with ink pads and local flora.

 

“Quadralectic” celebrates the idea that creativity is defined but not limited by the media we use, and that art can flourish when made with discernment rather than judgment. As the title would suggest, “Quadralectic” places bodies of work in dialog to create a synergistic blend of artistic voices, underscoring that our diverse expressions can work together, enrich the whole, and encourage the exploration of what art can be. Each piece in this show invites people of all ages to explore their creativity and find artistic personalities of their own that might be waiting to emerge. We hope to see you there!

The Dry Salvages is the third poem of T. S. Eliot's Four Quartets, marking the beginning of the point when the series was consciously being shaped as a set of four poems. It was written and published in 1941 during the air-raids on Great Britain, an event that threatened him while giving lectures in the area.
