The show will be on view Friday through Sunday, September 25 to 27 at 49 River Street, Beacon Hill, Boston MA, USA. An opening reception will be held on Friday, September 25 from 6 to 9 pm. The artists will discuss their work at 3 pm on Sunday, September 27. Hours are 3 to 9 pm, Friday and Saturday, and Sunday from 2 to 7 pm. Adria Arch’s new paintings start with a splash. Working in an intuitive, gestural tradition, she brings in the element of chance at the beginning. The liquid spill, a pooling pour of paint, is the first mark that determines a causative sequence of subsequent marks. For works that are concerned with feeling and surprise and bursts of energy, Arch lets the abstract contour, and the initial color, of that first exuberant gesture determine the spaces she builds across her large-scale surfaces. Jodi Colella transforms stuffed animals already imbued with meaning into dimensional, imaginary beings that are rich in pattern, color and texture. Obsessed with process, she uses needle and thread to reconstruct found objects into figures laced with whimsy and threat. As embodiments of human nature these beasts resonate with the cultural and psychological plights of the modern world. Both Arch and Colella are mid-career artists who exhibit frequently in gallery and museum settings. They are drawn to the challenge of showing their art in non-traditional spaces such as this vacant storefront. The show’s title refers to the intensity of color and texture on view and the immediacy and urgency of a three day show.
