The Good Supply hosts pop-up art exhibit
An exhibition entitled “Arts and Recreation,” will show new art work by Jessica Ives, Margaret Rizzio and Grant Haynes for two weeks at The Good Supply in Pemaquid.
The public is invited to an artists' reception is planned for Saturday, July 25, from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
The title of the show is a play on words meant to reflect the subject matter of Ives’s colorful oil paintings and the recycling process shared by Rizzio and Haynes to create their respective mixed media collages and acrylic on reclaimed material paintings. This pop-up event marks the store's second 2D art celebration.
Ives, a Damariscotta resident creates oil paintings inspired by outdoor adventures local and statewide. The show features a selection of her 4 by 4-inch “207 Paintings" appropriately named for the state's area code. Swimmers, paddlers, hikers, and other outdoor adventurers are captured in jewel-like moments. A selection of larger paintings will also be on view. Ives exhibits regularly with Gleason Fine Art in Boothbay Harbor.
Born and raised in Blue Hill and now living in Camden, Rizzio's current work uses a wide range of mediums — vintage ephemera, found objects, repurposed frames — that embrace the passage of time and the beauty of physical objects in a screen obsessed era. “Arts & Recreation”will include various size assemblage pieces and a series of unique postcard collages. Rizzio exhibits at Turtle Gallery in Blue Hill and at The Maine Farmland Trust Gallery in Belfast.
Haynes is currently based in Belfast. His love of nature continues to fuel his endeavors both personal and professional. Painting in acrylic on reclaimed wood and metal, his style is dynamic and modernist. His work is concerned with re-creating structure on material that is fractured and cobbled together. He gives care to honor signs of reclaimed materials’ origins — identifying wear not as blemishes but as stories worth expressing.
Ives and Rizzio have collaborated on pop-up events and exhibitions before, and this will be their first time inviting Haynes into the fold.
“Arts & Recreation” will be on exhibit from Thursday, July 23, through Sunday, Aug. 9. Art in the exhibition is available for purchase. Artisan wares can be viewed and purchased online at www.thegoodsupply.org.
