Grassroots
Exhibition Date: TBD in late January
Easthaus | Portland, ME | Reception: TBD
Artists: TBD
Easthaus is excited to announce their first open call for work for an exhibition titled, Grassroots. We are looking for submission to Grassroots, to be work that is either focused on nature, landscapes and ecology or is focused on the consideration of the body as a main source of inspiration. Grassroots, as a definition, can be thought of as the foundation or the basic level of our environment and alternatively as a group of people regarded as a main body of a community, organization, or an immediate environment. This is why we are looking for work that is either/or/both about nature and figuration. The work you submit for consideration DOES NOT have to have BOTH ecological and figurative elements in the same piece but should take into account at least one of these definitations.
PAST
Seeing Through a Window
August 29th - September 30th, 2024
Easthaus | Portland, ME | Reception: Sept. 28th 5-8.
Easthaus is proud to present their inceptive exhibition, Seeing Through a Window, a duo show bringing together the work of artists Jenna Girolamo and Trevor Toney. The pairing of these two artists seek to define all of the hidden possibilities that are to be found in a new understanding of perspective. In Seeing Through a Window, Girolamo and Toney’s work disrupts perspectives' contemporary irrelevance, showing us a nature that illuminates much warmer and more prosperous meanings. Paintings presented in this exhibition are windows; windows to both interior spaces and exterior landscapes, the two manifesting as abstracted perceptions that have been completed by the artists’ desire for balance and unity. Girolamo and Toney have broken open the window of perspective in search of perceptions finding that metaphorical rendering of space have become the markers of truth, replacing a perspective reliant, solely, on geometric reason.
