UPCOMING
Grassroots
January 30th - February 28th, 2025
Easthaus | Portland, ME | Reception: Feb. 7th 5-8pm
Corey Brown, Zeppelin Dufour, Thomas Rutigliano, Ryer Spann & Ryan Swedenborg
Easthaus is excited to announce their ensuing exhibition titled, Grassroots, compiling the work from artists Corey Brown, Zeppelin Dufour, Thomas Rutigliano, Ryer Spann & Ryan Swedenborg. Within this exhibition, selected artists are inundated with finding a nuance that depicts our natural [or dreamlike] ecological landscapes or focus on the body as a main source of inspiration; both advocating for cultural and societal change. Together, these modalities relate to the world that we inhabit, set amongst the people we cohabitate with. This grounds, Grassroots, in pointing towards an all-important foundation to unify human/nature at-oneness through a bottom-up activist movement. Participating artists present the seemingly disparate, to call us towards action; or as unified works, easing us into a utopian refuge. Revealing, either the harmony of pure existence or laying bare the sortcomings of contemporary living.
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.
