Among all the lush possibilities of life in a rainforest, I chose one dying leaf, a natural phenomenon to be sure, but its faded elegance reminds us of the peril of this crucial part of the world. Meet the Artist Tim Wilson’s long career as a photographer began with melancholy black and white images of landscapes taken with a twin lens reflex camera. With encouragement from artists, he developed a style which obscures boundaries between painting and photography, emphasizing shape and ambience over content and locale. Striving for a sense of mystery and poignancy in his work, Tim pose questions to viewers that perhaps hold their attention in seeking answers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b2d4d9e9f8770afe0874992/1530108458962-95FX0WCJJGC0L4DP4PSH/DSC_4979.jpg Art Gallery - Trees in Love Inspiration As a Modern Pictorialist, a requirement of the practice of photography arts is to be in position to record a moment, as with my abstract “Trees In Love”. The renowned French photographer, Henri Cartier Bresson, described those blessed points in time as “a decisive moment”. That is what it felt like when receiving “Trees In Love”. When the unexpected breeze kicked up to ripple the water’s reflection with those beautiful impressionistic broken colors, I felt that I was there for that very reason. Meet the Artist Living in Boston, whose treasures include one of the largest collections of Impressionistic art in the world, Jake has been profoundly influenced by these beautiful paintings. he loves Impressionism and use camera techniques that give a photograph an Impressionistic look and feel. In photography arts, the era than ran concurrent to the Impressionistic movement is called Pictorialism. Jake is a Modern Pictorialist in that I “create paintings” with my camera.

The slow rhythm of the tides, as dictated by the planets, was at once inexorable and soothing and created a stark contrast to our fast-paced modern life and our efforts to save time, to use it efficiently—and rarely to savor it. “Time II/8” combines two opposing concepts of Time in one painting: Seemingly infinite “Space-Time” and, on the other hand, Time as it passes, with a present, a past, and a future. Meet the Artist: Barbara Eskin was born in Germany and lives and works in the United States (Boston, Cape Cod) and France. “My paintings are visual expressions of personal or collective experiences. Ambiguities and seemingly unfinished elements are there to be relished and to invite the viewer to engage in an equally intuitive process of seeing."

In these paintings I am inspired by the sometimes chaotic beauty of nature and by the work of abstract expressionist painters coming before me. Meet the Artist Formerly a career counselor at Harvard University, Wilson Hunt retired eleven years ago and has been living his dream job since then. Although he has studied painting at many art schools over a period of many years, he never saw the need to acquire a degree in art. Hunt’s undergraduate degree is in psychology. Currently, he shows widely in Boston and surrounding and distant suburbs, with over 30 shows in the past two years. He has resonated with the saying, “Take your broken heart and make art.” https://www.achotelccart.com/about daily 0.75 2018-06-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b2d4d9e9f8770afe0874992/1530109866437-6H4QQK8BRMJ7LCTVK9BG/bosab-entrance-0004-hor-wide.jpg About
