'Depth and nostalgia'

”Field in Green’’ (oil on canvas) by Hannah Bureau’ in her show “Intersect,’’ opening in November at Edgewater Gallery, Boston. The gallery explains:

“Hannah Bureau's paintings lie at the intersection of landscape and abstraction. She is interested in creating space and distance that feels like the familiar world around us but is ambiguous, general, and abstracted. In Bureau's painted world she establishes visual plains and geometric shapes that intersect, overlap, pile-up, and ultimately create a sense of visual distance, depth and nostalgia.’’

Wet and wild

Tools for memory

‘‘Sextet” (oil on linen), by Kate Gridley, in her show this month at Edgewater Gallery, Boston.

The gallery says:

“Kate Gridley is known for her insights into human character, the quality of light in her work, and her skillful painting technique. She maintains a studio in Middlebury, Vt., where she has lived and painted full time since 1991.’’

“Gridley's paintings are championed for their attention to detail, convincing realism, and ethereal quality of light. Her still life subjects, often an assortment of vessels and kitchen tools, call upon history, memory and familial politics to set a reflective context for her paintings.’’

Fun or fatal?
