painting by Frederic Marsanne.
With all of the closings in the Boston area over the past two years, it's a delight to welcome a new art gallery into the area arts community.
MKL GALLERY (loacted at 99 Beacon Street in Somerville) opened today, September 2nd. The gallery features contemporary art focusing on painting, sculpture, photography and new media. Gallery Director Scott Cipolla has over fifteen years of experience in the arts and her goal continues to be improvement of commerce and communication within the Boston arts community. An artist herself and founder of Alternate Currants, this new gallery venture fits in perfectly with her personal mission, and will surely be a breath of fresh air this fall.
The gallery at 99 Beacon Street has been home to the arts for many years. The space was first a local art gallery and then transformed into the working studio for the painter Frederic Marsanne. Today the doors will be open again as MKL GALLERY, featuring the paintings of Frederic Marsanne for an innagural exhibiton.
Marsanne believes that “any artwork is political” and this solo exhibition delves into this declaration. His representational paintings are abstracted through energetic, pushed oils challenging the viewer of Marsanne’s narrative to search into their own attitudes and emotions about diverse subjects. Through humor balanced with a sense of the sublime he questions religion in modern society and wonders, “is nothing sacred?”
There will be reception for the artist on Thursday, September 3rd, from 6-8pm, and the exhibition will be on view at MKL GALLERY through October 11, 2009.
