Bowdoin's own Cassie Jones '01 is featured in a group art exhibit that opened last night in New York City.
Running from September 17 until October 17 at Red Flagg gallery, the exhibit entitled "Chunky Monkey" features 15 artists—mostly painters—who incorporate a third dimension into their work, though that theme is defined and interpreted in different ways from artist to artist.
Variations on the traditional painting template range from mere depictions of weight and mass to actual physical attachments of materials like Styrofoam, wood, fresco, paper-mache, felt and photographic prints.
Jones has two pieces in the exhibit, one entitled "On Second Thought" and the second named "Almost Anything." Both were created in 2009 and are made from acrylic, felt and staples on panel.
The exhibit also features a few Maine artists, including A. LeRoy Greason Professor of Art Mark Wethli.
Red Flagg is a gallery in New York that Bowdoin sculpture professor John Bisbee is currently directing, along with Coleman Burke Gallery in Brunswick and Coleman Burke Gallery @ Port City Music Hall in Portland.
