"Red Flag'' (painted aluminum with silver and bronze leaf), by Charlie Hewitt, in his show "Heart of Gold,'' at Heather Gaudio Fine Art, New Canaan, Conn., through Sept. 9.
The gallery says: "Hewitt's work channels the social upheaval of the 1960s, the laborers and mill-towns of his native Maine, and the gritty urban landscape of the Bowery,in New York City. He expresses his life experiences through an abstraction rich with emotive content. These personal associations come through in colorful, energetic, at times scrappy and idiosyncratic mixed-media compositions on canvas, works-on-paper, prints, welded sculpture, and ceramics.''
