Jessica Hagen Fine Art + Design is pleased to announce the opening of TRANSLATIONS on Saturday, October 19, 2024 from 5:00 - 7:00pm. This show features paintings by three artists: Wiley Holton, Karen Iglehart and Lorraine Mainelli. Each of these artists has a style that is very different from that of each other, which is how the title TRANSLATIONS came to be chosen for the exhibition. The differences in their work are what make this show extremely dynamic and thought provoking. All three of these artists are translating the three-dimensional world around them onto a two-dimensional picture plane, with wildly different results.
Jessica Hagen states, “This show is emblematic of why I love being in the arts. Each artist is coming to their own conclusions about how they see and experience the world, what’s important to them and what’s not. They are translating the stuff of their lives: their thoughts, ideas, and feelings, and putting the results out there for the world to see. Artists are truly among the bravest people in the world.”
Jessica Hagen Fine Art + Design was founded in 2005 and features contemporary art, including painting, sculpture, photography, ceramics, textiles, and jewelry. Located in the historic Point section of Newport, the gallery’s hours are Wednesday through Saturday 11:00 - 5:00 and Sunday 12:00 - 5:00.
