Artist Statement: 
Painting began as a way to make sense of personal grief, a process of release rather than outcome. Over time, it evolved into an exploration of resilience, joy, and the complexity of human emotion. My work moves between lyrical abstraction and structured forms, each approach reflecting a different emotional state. Circles appear often, symbolizing renewal and the cycles of challenge and growth.

Artist Statement: 
Taken Out of Context is a study of the relationship between my recent two dimensional paintings and three dimensional sculptures. My paintings see interrelationships between shapes along the surface, as if there were entities co-existing within the space. They encouraged three dimensional pieces that seemed to have jumped out of the surface, escaping from the confines of the second dimension.

​My gouache paintings are built from the observation of complexity and my intention in actualizing sequential order. I need to work as if untying a complicated and seemingly impossible knot. The forms are immediately organic, swirling and undulating from one end of the surface from the other. Once this has been established, I go in honing, working each shape, dissecting it into its unique rhythm.  This is the secondary aspect of making each work, and the action that ties the shapes into a whole, one that balances between energy and calculation.       

These shapes are mirrored in the sculptures. Entities are born from shaped wood pieces, all coming together in a series of elemental creature-like formations. In opposition to the paintings, these sculptural forms are minimally painted, deriving any sense of complexity from the juxtaposition of individual pieces.
There is a dichotomy present in the works, from subtlety to complexity; iteration to minimalism. Together the works address the balance between two disciplines, and the singular worlds that arise from their interaction, as in a thought giving way to the crystallization of form.

Artist Bio: 
Marjorie Kaye has lived in the Boston area for most of her life, with stops along the way in Syracuse, NY to earn her BFA in Painting, as well as New York City in the 80s.

​She is a sculptor with experience in drawing and painting as well. Her work has been an exploration of opposites:  form and color; organic and geometric; precision and chaos. Colorful and bold, her sculpture and present gouache paintings are kinetic and energetic. Her work has been reviewed in many publications including the Boston Globe and ArtScope Magazine, and has been shown extensively both locally and nationally, including Galatea Fine Art in Boston, Atlantic Works Gallery in East Boston, Harbor Gallery, UMass Boston, and Space Womb Gallery in NYC.

Ms. Kaye is the founder/member/Director Emeritus of Galatea Fine Art in Boston, MA, a large artist-run gallery featuring over 50 artists from Boston and beyond. Past projects also include the web-based Caladan Gallery, which ran for 10 years and exhibited hundreds of artists from all over the world, and Gallery 181, Lawrence, MA , which enhanced the community with the exhibition of local, national, and international artists.
​
She currently resides in Cambridge, MA.

Artist Statement:
I always thought that there was a clear distinction between artists who worked abstractly and the ones who included recognizable imagery in their work. Happily, for me this is not the case. The plurality that exists today in the world of painting makes it possible to move from narrative painting to abstract images and never leave the realm of exploring the act of mark making and the language of painting. For me my work is a celebration of being alive and of the creative moment! I combine various methods, textures and paint to create what becomes a transformative experience.  The stain-painting method, masking out areas, creating collaged surfaces and shaping the canvas are elements employed in the visual language that I have developed over time.

Artist Bio:
Jeannine is originally from northern New Jersey where she grew up in the shadow of Manhattan. She has a BA in Contemporary Art from Ramapo College of New Jersey. The college was famous for employing struggling artists, writers, actors from New York. As a consequence, she worked with Joanna Pousette-Dart (painter) and Carol Duncan (Art Historian) early in their careers. She earned an M.A.T. from Bridgewater College and spent twenty years in teaching art. One of the many joys of teaching for her was working with high school students who had not yet learned to take the creative act for granted. She has an M.F.A. from Lesley College of Art and Design. One of the aspects of the program at Lesley was that individuals worked with various local artists. As a result, she had the opportunity to work with Jon Imbur, Ruth Dealy and Carrie Moyer among others.
